Did you know solution focused hypnotherapy can be very very helpful in weight management! If you tried every diet going, but nothing seems to work! Perhaps you are eating for an emotional need rather than a physical hunger! Here is a testimonial from a lady that I helped on her journey with weight loss!

“ losing weight doesn’t make people happy but making people happy does help them lose weight”.

Sarah – Yaxley
After years of trying every diet, slimming class, weight gain / weight loss and overall misery I felt about ​myself and my relationship with food, I had to try a different approach. I approached Vicky to see if clinical ​hypnotherapy could help me. Like many I was sceptical and nervous. Vicky immediately put me at ease ​and there to help and not judge me. With specialist techniques, Vicky has showed me how to retrain my ​mind and remove all the negativity I had about myself and my relationship with food. For the first time in ​40 years, I am in control, and I can’t begin to explain how good that feels. If you want to change your ​relationship with food, lose weight and become a healthier, happier person then speak to Vicky”.

How is your sleep? We all need between 7-9 hours sleep a night and we should feel refreshed in the morning. If we have a lot going on in our lives and a feeling lots of stress and anxiety during the day, it can be difficult to get a good nights sleep. There is a portion of our sleep called REM which should be about 20% of our sleep pattern!

During REM our brain works harder than it would do in a maths exam! In REM you process all of your thoughts of the events of the day either exactly as it happened or metaphorically. It is our brain’s sorting and filing system.

So if we have a very busy brain and are feeling very anxious, letting everything in life really get on top of us we will be trying to overdo our REM. The brain cannot allow us to just keep going as we also need restoratative (deep) sleep so to get us out of REM it wakes us up!

You know when it’s your mind waking you up because you wake up wide awake and can feel quite miserable. Often we can’t easily get back to sleep again and even if we do, we won’t have dealt with everything that is going on in our mind.

Lack of sleep leads to a residual anxiety. To find out more about your sleep and how we can get your sleep patterns working more effectively through clinical hypnotherapy just drop me a message or book in for a free initial consultation.

Good morning everyone ☺️. I hope you are having a great weekend so far. Did you know that I offer a free initial consultation which lasts about 40/45 minutes. This allows us to meet and decide whether we are the right mix to work with one another and whether you feel I am the right therapist for you.
Therapy is a very personal thing and no one type suits everyone but when we meet, I will talk to you about what you’re experiencing and explain to you what we can do to move you forwards.

You can then take some time to have a think and about it and whether or not you want to book in for sessions. So why not message me today and I’ll get you in the diary!

Life can be full and busy, and it is very easy to slip into survival mode without quite noticing. Many people I work with describe feeling as if they are pushing through each day on autopilot. They often tell me they no longer feel like themselves. In my blog, I will explain how to recognise overwhelm, low mood and chronic stress, and how hypnotherapy and psychotherapy can support you to feel steadier and more in control again.

I’ve spent over a decade as a Pilates instructor, helping clients strengthen their physical health. Over time, I realised many of them were silently struggling with emotional and mental challenges that Pilates alone couldn’t fix. I saw the need to offer something deeper.
Having faced anxiety myself, I experienced first-hand the transformative impact of Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy. Inspired by those results, I retrained at the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy School—considered the UK’s gold standard in hypnotherapy education—and launched my practice in early 2024.
Helping people live lighter, calmer, more joyful lives isn’t just my job—it’s my purpose.

If you want to know more about Solution focused hypnotherapy and how it can help you message me to book a free initial consultation ☺️

It’s what we tell ourselves that really affects us in our daily lives…… if we tell ourselves we feel anxious, worried or fed up then that’s exactly how we’re going to feel……. Whereas if we tell ourselves we feel calm, relaxed and in control of ourselves in our lives……. Then guess what? That’s how we’re going to feel!”

 What we think and say to ourselves affects the way we feel physically, those unwanted negative thoughts and feelings will generate unwanted emotional physical responses in our bodies, so what we tell ourselves really does have a tremendous impact on my lives and determines not only how we feel but ultimately what we can or can’t do!!

If you need help with that inner voice, if your “self chat” it’s really getting you down let’s change this!

I sometimes get asked: Does clinical hypnotherapy really work for anxiety?

Yes, solution-focused hypnotherapy is a highly effective approach for reducing anxiety. By combining relaxation techniques with positive mental rehearsal and brain-based education, it helps clients understand their anxiety, reduce symptoms, and build lasting coping strategies. Many of my clients report improvements within just a few sessions. You can read their success stories on the testimonials page.

We are all human and we are not perfect. It’s normal to have days when we don’t feel our best. We are designed to feel a full range of emotions and feelings. But when these feelings continually tip over to the negative and do this for a prolonged period of time then our mind senses that the world is a dangerous place to be and triggers our stress response. Bringing about anxiety, stress, depression, and anger.

We need to break this cycle and start to literally rewire our brain to see and appreciate the positives because they are always there.

This is something we often need help with and if you need help to change where you are now then please get in touch .
