That critical inner voice can be exhausting.

The one that replays conversations, questions your choices, or warns you about what might go wrong.

Trying to argue with it rarely helps. What’s often more effective is interrupting the habit - and then deliberately shifting towards a more supportive inner response.

I’ve written a short blog on how to quiet the inner critic and build a calmer, more helpful inner dialogue, using simple NLP-informed approaches and hypnotherapy.

Most people know what to eat.
The challenge is when stress and habits take over.

Hypnotherapy can help change the automatic patterns running in the background, so healthier choices feel calmer and easy to sustain.

A recent client comment: “Cravings and emotional eating are a thing of the past”.

If food feels emotionally loaded rather than simple, get in touch to find out how I can help.

Hypnotherapy isn’t about being “put under”, losing control, or being made to do anything you don’t want to do.

You’re aware, present, and always in control.

Going into a trance state is actually something we do several times a day without realising it - when watching TV, scrolling on your phone, or getting absorbed in a book.

In a therapeutic setting, it’s that same feeling of relaxation and focus - only this time, your attention is directed towards a conversation that supports positive change.

So rather than losing control, what often happens is this:

🌟 your mind becomes quieter

🌟 old automatic patterns can be identified and released

🌟 you gain more choice in how you respond

Clients often describe coming out of a hypnotherapy session feeling “lighter” - calmer, clearer, and more themselves.

If you’d like to experience what it feels like for you, and let go of whatever’s been holding you back, feel free to get in touch.

PMDD can make life feel like two very different versions of you.

For around two weeks of the month you function, connect, cope… and then the shift arrives and it can feel overwhelming, emotional and unlike “you” at all.

PMDD is a cyclical pattern in the mind and body. One of the most supportive things you can do is to help your nervous system feel safer, calmer and less reactive during the luteal phase.

Hypnotherapy can help by:

✅ reducing emotional overwhelm

✅ calming the stress response

✅ softening the inner critic

✅ bringing steadiness and self-compassion back into the month

We can also uncover the root cause of the PMDD and gently release that so that you can feel like you throughout your cycle.

If PMDD is draining your energy or confidence, feel free to reach out. I offer fully personalised hypnotherapy sessions designed to bring clarity and emotional steadiness.

January often arrives with pressure: new goals, new routines, new expectations.

But real change happens when your inner world softens - not when you force yourself into a strict plan.

Hypnotherapy works beautifully because it gives the mind a calmer starting point.

When you feel steadier, everything else becomes easier: sleep, food choices, confidence, boundaries, motivation.

Instead of “new year, new you”… try:

✨ new year, kinder you.

A version of yourself with more calm, clarity and inner kindness.

If you’d like a gentle reset session this January, feel free to get in touch - I’d love to support you.

If you’re wanting to eat more healthily this year, willpower isn't your best tool.

Your brain chooses what feels familiar or soothing - even when your conscious mind wants something different. Rather than seeking to restrict your food choices, it's better to change the emotional patterns underneath your choices.

Hypnotherapy can help you:

🍓 stop emotional or stress-led eating

🌶 end cravings

🍒 feel in control around food

🍅 choose nutritious foods through desire not force

Healthy eating becomes easy when your subconscious mind is aligned with your goals.

If you’d like support with healthier habits this year, visit my website https://clearskies-hypnotherapy.com/weight-loss/ or get in touch for a free call.

For many people, anxiety isn’t just about worry.
It’s about responsibility.

Feeling like you should hold things together.
Feeling you need to cope alone.

Feeling you’re never quite doing enough - even when you are.

In hypnotherapy, we gently uncover where those beliefs began.

And when we update them, something powerful shifts - not just logically, but emotionally.
One client said after her session:
“I feel more at ease, more myself, and I’m setting boundaries for once in my life!”

If those words speak to you, you might like this short case study on my website:

💛 Hypnotherapy doesn’t change who you are.
It helps you become more yourself - and let go of anxiety.

If your mind goes into overdrive the moment your head hits the pillow, hypnotherapy can help.

Often, it’s because a part of your mind has learned that nighttime is when worries surface. That part of your mind is trying to protect you. It thinks replaying the day, planning tomorrow, or worrying about things will somehow keep you safe.

With hypnotherapy, we retrain the mind to understand that night-time = rest, safety and repair.

Once your nervous system believes it’s safe to rest, sleep begins to come naturally and without effort.

💤 If sleep has become a struggle, DM me for details on how hypnotherapy can help.

Most people don’t struggle knowing what they should eat. They struggle with why they eat.

Stress eating. Reward eating. “I’ve blown it now” eating. “I’ll start again Monday” eating.

It’s rarely about food - it’s about emotions, habit loops and old, unconscious patterns. In hypnotherapy, we don’t shame or control your behaviour; we gently change the beliefs behind it.

When your unconscious mind starts to associate healthy eating with nourishment, pride and self-care - rather than deprivation - the shift feels natural and easy.

It’s not about willpower. It’s about identity and compassion.

If you’re tired of the push-pull battle with food and self-criticism, we can change that pattern - kindly, easily and quickly.

We think thousands of thoughts a day - most of them old, repetitive and unhelpful.

When you’re tired or stressed, those thoughts get louder and harder to switch off.

Hypnotherapy helps you quiet the noise, create space, and remember that you get to choose which thoughts to engage with.

“The negative chatter in my head has finally turned down,” one client told me. “I feel safe and calm inside.”

If your mind feels too full to function, hypnotherapy can help you find stillness again. You can read more or get in touch via my website - link in bio 🌿
