If youâve been watching The Traitors, youâll know Jessie, who has done an incredible job representing people with speech conditions. Showing up as her authentic self, sheâs helped break down more barriers than she probably ever imagined đ
Stammering (or stuttering) is a complex speech disorder with neurological roots. It isnât caused by stress, but stress and anxiety can significantly worsen it, creating a self-reinforcing cycle where fear of stammering makes it more likely to happen.
This is where hypnotherapy may help.
By reducing anxiety, reframing negative beliefs, boosting self-esteem and teaching relaxation techniques, hypnotherapy can support people in breaking the stressâstammer cycle.
Used alongside speech therapy, it can help build confidence and calmer, more fluent communication.
Awareness, understanding and compassion matter â and representation like Jessieâs really does make a difference â¨

Today is often labelled âBlue Mondayâ â supposedly the most depressing day of the year.
But the truth is, emotions donât work to a calendar.
People experience low mood, stress, anxiety, overwhelm or emotional heaviness at many different points throughout the year, not just on one designated day in January.
And just as importantly, many people feel absolutely fine today too!
Thereâs no ârightâ or âwrongâ way to feel. What matters is knowing that support is available whenever you need it, not only when a hashtag says so.
If youâve been feeling stuck, depleted, anxious or simply not quite yourself â whether today, last week or months from now â you donât have to carry it alone. Iâm here to support you, at your pace, when youâre ready.
đ Your feelings matter, every day of the year.

đ´ Struggling with sleep? Youâre not alone â and youâre not broken.
Iâve shared this short video because it beautifully explains the 5 Principles of Good Sleep Health â and they align closely with what I see every day in my practice.
⨠Sleep improves when you:
âď¸ Value it
âď¸ Prioritise it
âď¸ Personalise it
âď¸ Protect it
âď¸ Trust it
So many people try to force sleep â worrying, clock-watching, and getting frustrated when it doesnât happen.
But sleep isnât something you can control with effort alone. Itâs a natural process, and the mind plays a huge role.
đ¤ Thatâs exactly what my Sleep Well Program supports.
Through gentle, evidence-based hypnotherapy, we calm the nervous system, reduce sleep anxiety, and help your mind relearn how to switch off â naturally.
If youâre lying awake feeling exhausted, wired, or fed up of âtrying everythingâ, this could be the missing piece.
đ Watch the video
đ Then message me or comment SLEEP if youâd like to know more about my Sleep Well Program
You deserve rest â not another battle at bedtime đ
Giving up alcohol could add years to your life by slowing down your biological clock.

This January, many people are taking a step back and reflecting on their relationship with alcohol â not out of guilt or pressure, but from a place of curiosity, self-care, and wanting to feel better in themselves.
If Dry January has led you to realise that alcohol is having more of an impact on your mood, energy, sleep, health or confidence than youâd like⌠my Rethink Your Drinking Program is here to support you.
This gentle, hypnotherapy-based program is designed to help you:
⨠Reduce the habit-pull of alcohol
⨠Change unhelpful drinking patterns
⨠Feel calmer and more in control
⨠Reconnect with your wellbeing and self-worth
Rather than relying on willpower alone, we work with the subconscious mind â helping you shift thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and automatic responses around alcohol in a safe, compassionate way.
Many clients describe feeling clearer, lighter and more empowered â not just during Dry January, but long after.
If youâre ready to make positive, lasting changes to your relationship with alcohol this year, Iâd be delighted to support you đ

New Yearâs Eve can bring excitement for some â and overwhelm for others.
If youâre not in the mood for resolutions, loud celebrations or âbig change energyâ⌠thatâs OK. âşď¸
There is power in:
⢠Rest
⢠Reflection
⢠Quiet decisions no one else can see
⢠Choosing your well-being without making loud announcements
Hypnotherapy is often less about becoming someone new â and more about coming home to yourself. đŤ
Wishing you a gentle transition into the year ahead đ
Anthony Hopkins told those who are struggling to âchoose lifeâ as he celebrates 50 years of sobriety. Posting on Instagram on Monday (29 December), the 87-year-old wished a happy New Yearâs to his followers before reflecting on a near-death experience caused by a âdrunken blackoutâ whilst ...

Holiday Self-Care Message đđĽ°
The holiday season can feel overwhelming at times, and itâs perfectly okay to slow down and give yourself a break.
When life gets busy and stress starts to build, take a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with simple joys â like fresh air, a smile, or time with someone you care about.
Looking after your mental wellbeing is a valuable gift you can give yourself and others.
So let yourself enjoy the season in your own way, without trying to make everything perfect. âşď¸

Itâs interesting to think back about the cues that determine your path in life. I stumbled across the whole notion of hypnotherapy when I was expecting my first child back in 2001.
I was booked in to take a tour of the Crowborough Birthing Centre and I arrived very early and my midwife was about to head into watch a presentation about hypnobirthing, a concept I had never come across. Because I was so early, I was invited in to watch and found the whole thing thoroughly fascinating, but I was very advanced with my pregnancy and not at all anxious about childbirth and I did not pursue it any further.
Several weeks later at another hospital visit - where you get paired up with other expectant parents - I was chatting with a dad-to-be, who was telling me about an introduction to hypnotherapy course that he had just taken part in. It seemed to be quite a random avenue for this young man to be exploring and it piqued my interest and so I asked for the details of the course and I signed myself up just a few months after I had my daughter. I enjoyed it so much that I joined the 2 year Diploma later that year. Thankfully my daughter was a great sleeper and so I was able to study around her nap times or I would take her to the local creche and study!
I find being a Hypnotherapist thoroughly rewarding. Helping teach individuals new skills and coping mechanisms and helping them to live the life they deserve, by helping remove emotional or behavioural obstacles.
