It’s the idea that we shouldn't just "survive" the cold month...

Over the land freckled with snow half thawed
The speculating rooks at their nest cawed
And saw from elm tops delicate as flowers of grass
What we below could not see, Winter pass

Myth-busting hypnotherapy: clear facts for curious patients and professional referrers. 1) Myth: Hypnotherapy controls your mind. Fact: You remain fully aware and in control throughout — hypnotherapy supports focused relaxation to access helpful insights. 2) Myth: It’s unsafe or unregulated. Fact: At regulated counselling practices we follow strict ethical and safety standards; treatment is tailored and consent-led. 3) Myth: It’s a quick fix for deep issues. Fact: Hypnotherapy can speed progress for some concerns but is most effective when integrated into a broader, evidence-based therapeutic plan.

I met a client who arrived deeply sceptical about hypnotherapy but willing to try. With a gentle, non-judgemental approach, we combined counselling and hypnotherapy to build practical tools for anxiety. Over weeks they reported fewer panic episodes and steadier days—sleep improved, work felt manageable again, and confidence grew. If worry is limiting your life, compassionate support can change that.

Are you feeling it too? The genuine urge to bunker in, a growing need for rest, a deep desire to seek comfort? As the days become shorter and the cold descends, hibernation mode sets in. While seasonal change is a normal part of the natural world, many of us expect to have the same levels of energy all year round. The result is that our incessant drive to grow and out-perform can often leave us feeling frustrated and disheartened with our lower levels of energy and reduced productivity.

This is an inspirational book to read at the time of year. I think this book will be very important to me this year

Hypnotherapy helps shift stress into strength by calming the nervous system and rewiring unhelpful thought patterns in a safe, non-judgemental counselling space. A short anonymised vignette: one client with panic symptoms learned breath-focused trance techniques and reported fewer panic episodes after six sessions. Evidence: (1) guided relaxation reduces physiological arousal, and (2) suggestion-based therapy supports cognitive reframing.
