HER Hypnotherapy (2026)

Sometimes asking for help is the hardest step - but it can change everything.

09/03/2026

Hello! I've launched a new programme this month called The HER Reset, read to the end to find out about the limited-time offer.

It's a 6 week programme for women who feel like their minds are constantly busy, stuck in overthinking and overwhelm, or like they've lost their confidence or purpose along the way.

Using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, we work together to understand how the brain responds to stress and pressure, gently shift unhelpful thought patterns and build a calmer and more confident way of thinking.

Each session includes a combination of focused talking therapy and hypnosis, helping you move forward rather than staying stuck in the same cycles of worry or self-doubt.

The programme includes:
- 6 hypnotherapy sessions
- a relaxation recording to listen to at home, especially to fall asleep to
- practical tools to help quiet an overactive mind

To launch the programme, and as a celebration of women following International Women's Day and the upcoming Mothers Day, I'm offering a price of £400 which is 6 sessions for the price of 5.

If you'd like to book then you can go ahead and click this link - https://www.herhypnotherapy.co.uk/pricing-plans/plans- or contact me on harriet@herhypnotherapy.co.uk.

If you're tired but wired...
If your brain won't switch off...
If you feel fine one minute and overwhelmed the next...

There's a FREE relaxation recording you can access via the link in my bio.

It's designed to gently help your body settle and give your mind a break.

I recommend popping it on when you get into bed and falling asleep to it. The more often the better! Or you can listen to it during the day when everything feels a bit much. Just don't listen to it when doing anything that requires conscious focus.

Enjoy 💕

What went well this week?

It might seem like a simple question, but believe me, it’s a powerful one.

Our brains are naturally wired to scan for problems. It’s an old survival mechanism... notice the threat, fix the threat, stay safe. The difficulty is that when you struggle with anxiety, that system becomes over-efficient. You start noticing everything that didn’t go well and overlooking the things that did.

When you deliberately pause and ask, what went well?... you interrupt that pattern.

You begin training your brain to look for evidence of coping, that things are shifting, that you're safer than your anxious mind suggests. And the brain builds what it repeatedly focuses on.

In solution-focused hypnotherapy, we do this intentionally. We look for what’s already working, even if it’s small. Especially if it’s small. Because those small moments are proof that your nervous system is capable of steadiness.

Maybe you handled something differently.
Maybe you recovered more quickly.
Maybe it was only 5% better.

That’s not insignificant. That’s how change starts.

So before the week ends, take a minute and write it down. Your brain is listening 💛

Overthinking can feel exhausting.

Replaying conversations… analysing things you said hours ago… wondering if you handled something the “right” way.

But most of the time, overthinking isn’t a personality trait or a sign that you’re doing something wrong. It’s usually a sign that your brain’s alarm system is a little too active.

When the brain senses threat or uncertainty, the amygdala switches on and starts scanning for problems. The mind then tries to protect you by analysing the past and predicting what might happen next.

The trouble is that when the brain is in that alert state, the thinking part of the brain becomes less clear and calm - which is why thoughts can start looping rather than resolving.

The encouraging thing is that the brain is incredibly adaptable.

When we start doing things that calm the nervous system and strengthen the thinking part of the brain again, that constant analysing often naturally begins to settle.

And when that happens, people often say the same thing:

“I just feel more like myself again.”

This might be for you if…

• your mind rarely switches off
• you replay conversations afterwards
• you feel capable but still doubt yourself
• you carry a lot for everyone else
• you’d love to feel calmer and more like yourself again

Something special

I’ve created a 6-week programme which will launch on Sunday for International Women’s Day. It's designed to help women calm the constant noise of overthinking, reconnect with their confidence and feel more like themselves again.

*Only 6 places will be available*

If you've been thinking about starting hypnotherapy, this could be the perfect moment.

Details will be released Sunday.

There are so many ways we can help a nervous system calm down and find its way back to steadiness. It isn’t about forcing positive thoughts or telling yourself to just relax, and it’s definitely not about becoming a different person. It’s about giving your brain consistent signals of safety so it doesn’t feel like it has to stay on high alert all the time.

That might be something simple like lengthening your exhale when you feel the spike, protecting your sleep a bit more carefully, reducing late-night scrolling when your brain is already tired, or asking yourself at the end of the day, what’s been good today? Even noticing the moments you handled better than you expected starts to shift things.

Sometimes that support comes through working with me in sessions, where we gently retrain the brain and build resilience in a structured way. But there are also small shifts you can start making now.

If you’ve felt unlike yourself lately, it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It usually just means your system has been under pressure for a while. And nervous systems can absolutely learn to settle again.

If you’d like something guided to help you start, I’ve put together a free calming recording you can download, the link’s in my bio.

When I say the word calm, what comes up for you?

Is it…

Waking up without that heavy feeling in your chest?
Doing the school run without everyone on edge?
Walking into work without replaying conversations in advance?
An evening where your shoulders actually drop?
Your child saying “I feel nervous” and you feeling steady enough to hold it?

Calm isn’t a personality trait. and it isn’t something other people are just better at. It’s what happens when your nervous system feels safe, and safety is something the brain can relearn, at any age.

I see it happen with women who’ve been carrying too much for too long. I see it in men who've been quietly holding pressure at work and at home without ever really switching off. I see it in teenagers whose minds won't stop racing, who think something is "wrong" with them. And I see it with children whose little systems just need the right support.

So I’m curious…

What would calm look like for you right now?

Firstly to say that this post is definitely not me advising what you should do, there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to school anxiety. This is simply coming from a place of understanding - of seeing how hard it is, for you and for them.

School anxiety isn’t attention-seeking and it definitely isn’t “just a phase.”
It’s ... ..the 7am tummy ache that wasn’t there at 6:30...the tears over the wrong socks...the sudden exhaustion...the “I feel sick” with no temperature...the bargaining, the clinging, the flat-out refusal.

And as a parent? It’s absolutely heartbreaking. Because you’re standing there torn in two. One part of you knows they need to go. Routine matters, avoidance can grow...
But the other part of you sees your child in genuine distress and thinks, how can I possibly force this? You question yourself constantly. "Am I being too soft?" "Too firm?" "Am I making it worse?" "Did I miss something?" You carry the weight of it all day after drop-off, even if they walked in fine in the end.

But here’s what’s important...

When a child is anxious about school, their nervous system genuinely believes there is danger. Not polar bear danger... but social danger, performance danger, separation danger, embarrassment danger... Their brain isn’t calmly assessing reality. It’s firing the alarm system.
The tummy aches? Real.
The dizziness? Real.
The tears? Very real.

An anxious brain is brilliant at spotting threat, even when the “threat” is reading aloud, playground politics, a strict teacher, a recent illness, or just the memory of one bad or traumatising moment.

And here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:

When we try to logic a child out of anxiety, we’re speaking to the thinking brain… but anxiety lives in the survival brain. So saying things like “You’re fine.” “Nothing bad will happen.” “You were okay yesterday.” Even when said with love, often don’t land.

What helps more?

Calm nervous systems.
Predictability.
Tiny wins.
Confidence built slowly, not forced.

And for parents... COMPASSION FOR YOURSELF!

Because supporting a child through school anxiety is exhausting. It can chip away at your own confidence. It can make mornings feel like a battleground and evenings feel heavy with anticipation of the next day.

But please do remember...you are not failing, your child is not broken. And this doesn’t mean they’ll always struggle. Anxiety is a state - not a personality. And nervous systems can learn safety.

If this is your house right now I see you. It’s hard. And I promise you, you’ll be doing better than you think.

You're not falling apart. You're just carrying more than anyone can see.

Most of the women I work with aren't falling apart on the outside. They're capable, they're reliable, they're the one everyone relies on.

But inside?

Their nervous system is running on fumes! And what makes it harder is this quiet self-criticism.. "Why can't I cope like I used to?"

Because it's not just one thing. It's not just work. It's the mental load... It's the keeping the peace... It's hormones shifting... It might be ADHD traits you've masked for years. It's old patterns of people-pleasing that mean you rarely put yourself first or think about what you actually want or how you actually feel.

When all of this stacks up, your system doesn't need motivation...IT NEEDS SAFETY!

And that's what Hypnotherapy is all about. It's not about fixing you, it's about helping your nervous system stand down. It's helping you respond, rather than react. And it's helping you feel like yourself again.

If this all feels a bit too accurate then please do get in touch. You don't have to wait until you burn out to get support.

What is hypnosis?

It’s not clucking like a chicken.
It’s not being unconscious.
It’s not me “doing something” to you.

It’s a completely natural brain state.

When we’re rushing around, constantly thinking, ticking off lists, replaying conversations…we’re in high beta. That wired, slightly frazzled mode.

But when you walk, drive, stare out the window, or shower… your brain shifts into alpha waves.

Alpha is relaxed focus.
It’s creative.
It’s where your subconscious can actually be heard.

That’s why your best ideas don’t come when you’re forcing them.

They come when you stop trying.

Hypnotherapy simply helps you access that state intentionally… so we can work with the part of your brain that actually creates change.

And honestly?

Most people don’t need more pressure.

They need more space.

Most people mean well when they say these things, but anxiety isn’t something you can just switch off because someone tells you to.

Sometimes what helps isn't advice, but understanding.
