I bumped into an old client recently, someone I hadn’t seen in years.

When she first came to me, she was feeling a little lost, lacking confidence and self-worth. At the time, her appointments were quite sporadic, and I remember feeling like we hadn’t made much progress together. We never really had the chance to reach the goals she’d set for herself.

But when I saw her again, she said something that absolutely blew me away.

Her words were, “You completely changed my life.”

She told me that the conversations we’d had during our sessions had stayed with her, that they’d quietly shaped the way she thought about herself and her world. Over time, she’d begun to see things differently, make new choices, and build a life she feels proud of.

It was such a powerful reminder that even when we don’t see instant results, the words we share can stay with someone and grow quietly in the background.

You never really know the impact you’re having on someone’s journey, sometimes it just takes time for things to click into place. 🤍

My daughter has been having a bit of a hard time lately.
Things just haven’t been going her way and with that comes a bit of a defeatist attitude that’s hard to shake. (She is a teen after all!😉)

As a parent, you want to help as much as you can, without taking over, it's so important for her to try and find her own solutions. However, I’ve been offering little snippets of positivity and gentle advice. (Sometimes it lands well and sometimes it doesn't! 😳)

The most important thing I’ve tried to share with her is this:
Just because it’s taking time, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Sometimes progress is quiet. It doesn’t always look like success straight away, but that doesn’t mean it’s not unfolding beneath the surface. Seeds take time to grow before we see them bloom. 🌿

I’ve also reminded her that the more you’re thankful, the more you attract things to be thankful for. When we focus on what’s good, even in small ways, our energy shifts and the world starts to reflect that energy back to us. Positivity really does attract positivity.

So for now, we’re both practicing patience, gratitude, and a little faith that better days are on their way. 🤍

I’ve been feeling a little unsettled and out of sorts lately, and I can’t quite put my finger on why…🤔

Maybe it’s the weather 🌧 the darker, drearier days always seem to weigh a little heavier.
Or maybe it’s hormones, because let’s be honest, at my age they seem to have a mind of their own!
It could even be the recent changes in my circumstances, or perhaps it’s a mix of everything.

In truth, we don’t always know why we feel off balance and that’s okay.
What matters most is how we navigate our way through.

When I feel like this, I like to remind myself that emotions are temporary.
And no matter how foggy things feel, I always seem to find my way back again.

So for now, I’m being gentle with myself.
I’m listening to what my feelings might be trying to tell me, maybe they’re asking for rest, quiet, or a little extra self care.

Because it’s not always about finding the root cause, sometimes It’s about pausing long enough to let yourself feel, and trusting that clarity will return when you’re ready to see it. ✨

✨ Setting healthy boundaries ✨

We’ve all been treated poorly at some point and yes, how somebody treats you says more about them than it does about you. However, it’s our job to teach others what's acceptable and what isn't.

When we accept bad behaviour, it tends to continue. However, when we learn how to set clear boundaries, we're able to protect our peace and self-worth.

So here's a few tips that you may find helpful..

🤍 Be clear & consistent by calmly communicating what’s okay and what’s not and sticking to it.
🤍 Learn to say no. You don’t owe anyone a yes at the expense of your wellbeing. Offer alternatives if needed.
🤍 Pause before responding. If someone speaks unkindly, try: “I’ll have this conversation when you’re ready to speak respectfully.” You set the tone.
🤍 Protect your energy. You decide who gets your time and how much.

Healthy boundaries aren’t selfish, they’re self-respect in action.

If you’d like some extra help in building stronger boundaries, I’d love to hear from you.

I hope you found this useful today 😊

When I tell people I'm a hypnotherapist, the usual response is "look into my eyes, not around my eyes, but into my eyes" 😆

There are an awful lot of misconceptions surrounding hypnotherapy, but it's nothing like what you see on TV.

So if you're wondering what Hypnotherapy is;
It's an extremely effective, forward thinking, solution focused therapy.

💫 We learn effective skills and techniques to let go of stress and negativity.

💫 We focus on managing our thought processes, shifting our perspective from negative to positive.

💫 We work together to learn how our brain is functioning in relation to the problem, but also how we can override any unhelpful habits and create new healthier ones.

💫 We focus on building inner strength, confidence and self belief.

💫 We work together to focus on solutions, where we want to be in the future and how to get there.

So there's no mind control involved, no trickery or magic 🔮 Just pure empowerment to create positive and lasting change.

If you would like to know how Hypnotherapy can help you, feel free to get in touch, I would love to help you. 🤗

✨ I had the most wonderful experience recently✨

My dad came to visit me in my dream. He passed away over two years ago now, but the dream felt so real. We were walking and talking, and somehow I knew I was dreaming so I kept willing myself not to wake up in order to keep the conversation going.

I remember telling him how much I missed him, and he looked at me and said, “I know… but I’m better now.” (he was very unwell when he passed and wasn't himself for several years before)

It felt so vivid, so real, like he’d really come to visit me.

I would love to hear if anybody has experienced this? A dream that felt like a message from someone they love? 💫

🎂 It was my 44th birthday yesterday 🎂

I got a few of those funny comments “21 again?” and “fast approaching 50!” and it got me thinking... why do we dread getting older?

Do I mind ageing physically? Yes! 😂
Would I love to reverse the grey hair? Absolutely! 😂

But my mindset around ageing has changed so much over the years. I see it now as such a privilege, because not everyone gets the chance to grow older. So to be here, healthy and living life, feels like something to be deeply grateful for.

So yes, the wrinkles and silver hairs might not be my favourite part, but they come with the gift of more life and for that, I’ll always be thankful. 💛

Maybe it’s time we all start celebrating each birthday as the blessing it truly is, another chance to grow, laugh and live fully 🎊🎉

✨ Protecting Your Peace ✨

When you’re faced with criticism or judgement, it can be hard not to take it personally, especially when it feels unfair or unkind.

It helps to remember that not everything that comes your way needs to be absorbed. Some feedback can be helpful and support your growth, while other comments can feel negative and often reflect someone else’s fears or insecurities.

In those moments, I like to imagine a soft, protective bubble around me. I get to choose what filters in, anything useful or constructive is welcome, but anything that feels personal, harmful, or unnecessary bounces straight back off.

You always have the power to choose what you absorb and what you let go of. And that choice is how you protect your peace. 🌿

I really hope you found this useful today.

It's useful to remember, that your mind believes what you tell it.
So, if we work on making our inner voice more positive, encouraging and supportive, we often find our whole world begins to change for the better.

Keep smiling,
Steph 😊✨
