Putting You First

29/12/2023

Cheers to Friday! 🎉

As the new year nears, Christmas this year felt different—my tree's up after a little tussle, but the excitement wasn't the usual high. Surprisingly, it's been a more relaxed Christmas, maybe even therapeutic. So glad it’s passing over and I can get started with the new year ahead.

Here's to finding peace in the quiet moments!

Have you ever considered the power of taking control of your own narrative and how empowering it could be?

For me, this past year has been challenging in navigating relationships with family and friends. I've come to realise that friendships often come in different forms: some for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime. Adopting this new motto has relieved the pressure, stress, and anxiety often associated with friendships.

Family, however, presents a different set of challenges. As I move into 2024, I find myself with fewer connections, but a clearer understanding of where I stand.

Stepping out of the drama triangle and focusing on self has been essential. The games we play can keep us stuck, but as time moves, so do we."

Whats your take on this? What changes will you be making?

🌟 Debunking the Myths of Hypnosis: Let's Talk Collaboration! 🌟

Ever wondered about hypnosis? Let's bust a myth: it's not mind control! It's a collaborative journey where you're always in control. Working closely together, we personalise sessions to match YOUR language, beliefs, and goals. This creates a safe, comfortable space for you to embrace lasting changes that truly resonate with YOU.

As most of you willl know, I have been a hypnotherapist for 7 years or more now, I’ve lost count. I am also a trainee Psychorherapist and bring Coaching, NLP and Timeline therapy into sessions if needed and agreed with the client.

If you are ready to explore the power of hypnotherapy in a whole new light? Let's chat!

Putting You First is a place for you to explore the changes you would like to make and grow. Believe it or not, you are the only expert in your life. So, stop letting others drive or decide which direction you go. Take back control, put yourself in the driver’s seat where you belong, and you decide the destination.

I’m Sarah Louise a certified Hypnotherapist with counselling skills, Timeline Therapist, NLP practitioner and Breakthrough Coach.

I have completed my training with Cruse Bereavement Support, The Safe Project (supporting children affected by Crime) and SOBS (supporting survivors of bereavement by su***de).

I am also in my final year of a level 5 professional diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.

I am a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society (NHS), National Counselling Society (NCS) and fully insured.

I also run events, so please see my events which will be published soon. So, if you decide to sign up to my monthly newsletters, I can keep you informed and up to date.

FREE Coffee morning at Buick Mackane
Saturday 8th October from 10am to noon
Please come and say hi, have a cuppa and take a look around at Buick Mackane. This is a chance for new and potential circle members to meet me, Sarah and other members and have a nose around the awesome space we’ll be using.
Please RSVP by responding to this post in comments.

Would you like to make time to…?

…share what’s going on in your life and how you’re feeling
…connect with other women and feel less isolated
…come together in a friendly and relaxing environment
…discuss subjects that are important to you as a woman
…embrace life, laugh and bathe in fantastic female company
…let go of $hit.

A new series of Women’s Circles is starting in mid-October at Buick Mackane in Newbury. These are simply meet-ups for women where we sit down, talk to each other, listen and share stories about each other’s lives.

There will also be a relaxation element to each gathering, for example, guided relaxation, self massage techniques and breathwork.

There’s nothing complicated or mysterious about Women’s Circles - they are purely women getting together, sitting in a circle and sharing time in a safe space where we can relax together. Expect to leave each circle meeting feeling uplifted, lighter and reassured that you’re not on your own.
