As you may know, The Thornbury Clinic sponsor two children in Uganda, Patrick and Miriam. Each year their village is able to have a Christmas party funded by donations.

They have so much fun dancing, playing games and will eat a healthy meal. Just £12 will pay for the meal for one child, a gift, a bar of soap and a large bag of rice to take home.

If you felt able to donate to contribute towards this party it would be greatly appreciated.

We are collecting wrapped toys again this year, to be donated to children who may not otherwise receive a gift at Christmas. If you feel able to contribute to our appeal, please drop your new and wrapped toy into our clinic on Castle Street, or bring it with you to your next appointment.

🌈 WELLBEING WEDNESDAY 🌈
Making Space for Yourself as the Seasons Shift 🍁

As we move deeper into the darker, colder months here in the UK, many people notice their motivation dips, old habits resurface, or stress feels a little heavier than usual. It’s completely natural - with the shorter days and onset of winter bugs, this time of year often asks more from our minds and bodies than we realise.

But it’s also a perfect moment to pause, reset, and give yourself the support you deserve. 😊

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a fresh perspective, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and mindset coaching can help support your wellbeing and create meaningful, lasting change - even during the busiest seasons of life.

Here’s what one of my clients shared recently about their experience:

—

“I had a really positive experience working with Penny at The Thornbury Clinic. She was professional, supportive and helped me make meaningful changes. I felt comfortable right from the start, listened to and understood throughout the process and left each session with new insights and practical tools that made a real difference. I’d highly recommend Penny to anyone looking for guidance or support.”

—

If you’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and in control as we head into winter, I’d love to support you too.

✨ Sessions available in-person, or online

✨ Tailored, practical tools you can use immediately

✨ A calm, compassionate space to explore what you need

👉 CALL 01454 838366 if you’d like to book a session, or schedule a FREE enquiry call with Penny, to understand more or, simply find out whether her approach is right for you. 😊

🌈 WELLBEING WEDNESDAY 🌈

🧠 STRESS AWARENESS DAY

Today is Stress Awareness Day, but as we all know, stress doesn't just show up once a year. Managing stress is a DAILY SKILL - something we BUILD, like strength or stamina, through awareness and consistent practice.

And stress isn’t always loud. It doesn’t always look like panic, or tears. Sometimes it’s:

Feeling 'switched on' all the time
Forgetting things you normally remember
Snapping at the people you care about
Struggling to relax, even when you want to.
🤔 CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF

So, take a moment right now to check in with yourself:

How’s your BODY? How’s your MIND? How’re your ENERGY levels?

Long-term stress drains our wellbeing reserves, which effects our mood, sleep, immunity, patience - everything takes a hit.

By NOURISHING ourselves regularly, we build our resilience to stress, so that when life throws challenges our way, we can cope more effectively 💪.
🌱 This week, I invite you to reflect on what helps you REPLENISH your wellbeing reserves? Maybe it’s:

😌 Time outside in fresh air
😌 Quality sleep (not scrolling!)
😌 Moving your body in a way that feels good
😌 Talking things through with a friend
😌 Setting healthier boundaries
😌 Doing something you genuinely enjoy

👉 Then… choose ONE thing and commit to acting on it: something that feels realistic and nurturing. A consistent wellbeing practice that keeps your own wellbeing reserves topped up, means you will better manage stress in your own life and support your mental health going forward.

If you’d like support managing your stress levels, why not CALL 01454 838366 and book in a FREE enquiry call with our mindset coach and hypnotherapist, Penny, to understand more about how she can help you. 😊
