Your people are your greatest asset — but how are they really doing?

In small and medium-sized businesses, every team member counts.
When stress, burnout, or anxiety creep in, it doesn’t just affect individuals — it impacts performance, morale, and the bottom line.

At Kelly Combe Counselling & Holistic Therapy, I help SMEs create mentally healthy, resilient workplaces.
Through tailored wellbeing programmes, resilience training, and 1-to-1 employee support, I work with teams to reduce absence, boost morale, and build a culture where people thrive.

The results:

Fewer sick days
Higher engagement
Stronger retention
A happier, more productive workforce

Every £1 invested in staff wellbeing delivers around £4.70 in return (Deloitte).

Let’s start a conversation about how I can support your team.

Bonnie Blooms

At Kelly Combe Counselling & Holistic Therapy, I was absolutely delighted with the stunning bouquet created by Ellie McCabe of Bonnie Blooms. Ellie has a true gift for bringing together colours, textures, and scents in a way that feels both thoughtful and uplifting. The bouquet she designed was not only beautiful to look at, but it also carried a sense of care and intention that made it truly special.

As someone who works closely with mental health and wellbeing, I know how powerful simple gestures can be. Receiving flowers can brighten someone’s day, lift their mood, and create a sense of being valued and cared for. The natural beauty of fresh blooms has a calming effect and can encourage positive emotions, making them a wonderful support for mental and emotional health.

Ellie’s work captures this perfectly—her flowers aren’t just arrangements; they are moments of joy and comfort. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bonnie Blooms to anyone who wants to give a gift that nurtures both the heart and mind.

Conquer Your Fear of Flying using Hypnotherapy

For many, the thought of stepping onto a plane triggers intense anxiety, panic, or even avoidance altogether. Fear of flying—also known as aviophobia—can limit your life in profound ways, preventing you from taking holidays, visiting loved ones, or pursuing career opportunities abroad. But what if you could break free from this fear without years of therapy or medication?

Kelly Combe, a certified hypnotherapist and holistic practitioner, offers a powerful, natural approach to overcoming fear of flying through hypnotherapy—a gentle and effective technique that helps calm the mind, rewire anxious patterns, and restore your confidence in the air.

Understanding Fear of Flying

The fear of flying often stems from a combination of factors, including:
• Fear of heights or enclosed spaces
• Loss of control
• Traumatic flight experiences
• General anxiety or panic disorder

These fears are stored in the subconscious mind, often reinforced over time through imagination, media, or even well-meaning advice from others. That’s why traditional logic—like statistics about how flying is the safest form of travel—rarely helps.

How Hypnotherapy Works

Hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious, the part of your mind where deep-seated fears and beliefs reside. In a safe, relaxed state, Kelly guides clients to uncover the root of their fear, challenge irrational thoughts, and replace them with new, empowering beliefs.

This process:

• Reduces anticipatory anxiety before flights
• Calms physical symptoms (like sweating, shortness of breath, or nausea)
• Rebuilds a sense of safety and control
• Creates positive mental associations with flying

What to Expect from a Session with Kelly Combe

Kelly provides a safe, compassionate space for clients to explore and heal their fear. Each session is tailored to the individual, using a combination of:

• Guided hypnotherapy
• Relaxation techniques
• Visualisation exercises
• Subconscious reprogramming

Some clients see a dramatic improvement in just a few sessions. Kelly may also provide recorded hypnosis tracks for reinforcement at home or before travel.

Success Story
“I hadn’t been on a plane in over ten years because of crippling fear. After just two sessions with Kelly, I found myself booking a flight with excitement instead of dread. I was calm during take-off, and for the first time, I even looked out the window!” – Sarah M.

Why Choose Kelly Combe?

With a background in both counselling and holistic therapies, Kelly brings a compassionate, integrative approach to healing. Her deep understanding of anxiety and trauma means she doesn’t just address the symptom—she helps you resolve the underlying cause.
Ready to Fly Free?

Whether you’ve avoided planes for years or simply want to feel more relaxed while flying, hypnotherapy with Kelly Combe can help you reclaim your freedom.

Contact Kelly today to book a consultation and take the first step toward stress-free travel.

Ranald (Ranny) Hall

Gilson Gray Financial Management

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Ranald Hall for the help and support the he has previously offered one of my clients. As a counsellor I can work with some very vulnerable people and I always want to ensure that when referring on other services that they will look out for my clients in the best possible way.
Ranny has shown that he is patient, professional, reliable and will look to do what is best for the individual that he is working with and their finances.
I have also had the pleasure of carrying out a workshop with Ranny based on companies potentially looking out for the wellbeing of their staff, both their mental wellbeing as well as their financial wellbeing. It is clear that Ranny is very knowledgeable and is able to help people with a range of different advice & products to suit.
Finances are one of the most common sources of stress, and they can affect almost every area of a person’s life. Being able to talk your financial situation with someone that you trust, that has no judgement and will offer the appropriate advice to suit your personal circumstances, is so important.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ranald Hall Gilson Gray Financial Management to family, friends and clients.

Many Thanks

Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy

If you’re ready to break free from the grip of smoking, you’re not alone. Countless people find it tough to quit, battling cravings, stress, and habit-forming routines. But there’s a powerful tool that can help you quit for good — hypnotherapy with www.kellycombe.co.uk

Why Hypnotherapy?
Ni****ne is a physically addictive substance, but the habit of smoking is profoundly psychological. Your mind develops deep associations — a break at work, a way to ease stress, a comforting habit when you’re anxious or bored. Hypnotherapy directly addresses these subconscious patterns. It works by guiding you into a deep state of relaxation where your subconscious mind is more susceptible to change. Here, harmful habits can be challenged and replaced with healthy alternatives.

Why Kelly Combe?
Kelly Combe is a qualified, experienced, and compassionate hypnotherapist who specialises in helping people quit smoking. She understands that everyone’s relationship with to***co is unique. Her approach is tailored to your individual needs — whether you smoke a few a day or a pack — and focuses on unlocking your own ability to become smoke-free.

Using techniques to help you visualize a future without ci******es, Kelly guides you through a powerful process to:

✅ Change your subconscious view of smoking
✅ Reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms
✅ Develop healthy coping mechanisms
✅ Boost confidence and motivation to stay smoke-free

What To Expect During Your Session
Your first session will be a friendly, non-judgmental conversation where Kelly will get to know you and your habits. She’ll use this information to customise your therapy. Then, in a comfortable and calming setting, you will be led into a state of deep relaxation — a kind of “focused awareness”— where your subconscious mind is more easily influenced by constructive suggestions. This will be a trial session for you to understand what the process will feel like.
Your second session will help to change your mindset, ensuring that you are 100% ready to become a non-smoker, before going through the actual process of hypnotherapy.

This process is gentle, non-invasive, and completely under your control. Hypnotherapy simply guides you toward the goals you already want to achieve — letting go of the habit for good.

The Success Rate
Studies show that hypnotherapy is an effective way to quit smoking, with many people experiencing lasting results after just a few sessions. Success depends on motivation, readiness to change, and choosing a skilled, understanding practitioner — all of which Kelly Combe brings to her practice.

Final Thoughts
If you’re ready to become smoke-free, hypnotherapy with Kelly Combe could be the key to unlocking your future health. Whatever your reasons — health, financial, or lifestyle — Kelly can help you move forward and say goodbye to smoking for good.

At the start of the year I decided to challenge myself with my fitness. I started to workout twice a week with Donna Affleck & Kkerry A Darling, and I signed myself up for The Penicuik 10k run!!!! I had signed up to a run previously and was unable to do it due to an injury, so I decided to keep quiet about this until right before the race.
So I will be running the 10k this Saturday (which apparently has the worst hill ever in it 🤦‍♀️), and I will be running it to raise some funds for Simba (honoring baby loss), as part of some ongoing fundraising that myself and my BNI Braidlaw team will be doing this year.

If you're able to sponsor me and raise some funds for this amazing chatity I would be very grateful.
