🌿 A little update! 🌿

I’m so happy to share that my in-person sessions have finally moved to my new therapy space — a beautiful old Georgian house that we're gradually bringing back to life.

The therapy room itself is all ready and feels calm, light and welcoming, though the rest of the house is still very much mid-renovation (so please excuse any slightly less polished corners!).

It already feels like the perfect space to settle, reflect and breathe — I can’t wait to welcome you in. 💚

📢 We have just launched an urgent fundraiser to secure the future of Breathworks.

Right now, Breathworks is facing a particularly challenging time. Demand for our support has never been higher - more people are living with chronic pain and long-term illness, yet fewer can afford to access help.

We need to raise £50,000 by 31st December to safeguard our charity and continue reaching those who need us most.

Every donation counts - if everyone in our community gave just £5, we’d reach our target.

Can you be one of our early supporters?

Donations made in the first 48 hours give our campaign crucial momentum - helping our campaign reach more people and inspiring others to give.

Thank you for your support - every donation brings us closer to a future where no one faces pain and illness alone.

Barriers to mental health...
To live mentally healthy lives, our physical and emotional needs must be healthily met. Human givens practitioners look to see what might be preventing this in their clients’ lives and to help them address it. Maybe their home or work situation is emotionally toxic or their environment is physically unsafe, leaving them insecure. Or maybe their psychological resources, designed to help meet needs, are not functioning properly, because of past trauma or poor diet or unhelpful conditioning. Or maybe they never learned the social skills to enable them to meet their needs. All these need resolving during the therapy.

Heal, reclaim balance and flourish with human givens therapy.

📘 🧠💤
HG College have just released a free online course exploring the science behind dreams. It offers a fascinating look at what modern research tells us about why we dream, the role of REM sleep, and how our unconscious mind processes experience.

An excellent resource for anyone working in mental health, coaching, or personal development — or simply curious about the inner workings of the dreaming brain.

🧠💤 Highly recommended!

The power of 7:11 breathing...

On our Human Givens College training courses, we teach a technique known as 7:11 breathing, because it’s the most powerful technique we know.

Here is how you do it, and it is as easy as it sounds:
Breathe in for a count of 7.
Then breathe out for a count of 11.

If you can, breathe in and out through your nose, not your mouth.

Make sure that your diaphragm (tummy) swells out when you breathe in and collapses again when you breathe out. If your chest and shoulders are going up and down, that is shallow breathing, which you want to avoid when panicky.

If you find it easier, breathe in to a count of 3 and out to 5, or whatever suits you best – as long as the out-breath is longer than the in-breath.

Continue in this way for 5-10 minutes – or longer if you have time – and enjoy the calming effect it will have on your mind and body. An added bonus of 7:11 breathing is that the very act of counting is a distraction, helping take your mind off worrying concerns.

The 7:11 breathing technique has been used for thousands of years throughout the world.

A great article, with some avenues you can filter into practicing self hypnosis.

I find sceptics often make the best clients of hypnotherapy - they listen to the science and try it out, and as it works they really make it their own!

Forget the swinging pocket watches, scientists are now praising hypnotherapy as a powerful tool to fight mental and physical pain.
