Wellbeing solutions backed by neuroscience in the form of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and NLP. At Wellbeing In Mind Hypnotherapy (Essex), I combine hypnosis with solution-focused therapy and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) to facilitate positive change in a relatively short period of time. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, neuroscience-based approach that combines talking therapy with clinical hypnosis. It is a safe, evidence-based treatment with minimal side effects. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) provides a way for us to understand why we do what we do and how our thoughts, feelings, beliefs and capabilities combine to drive our behaviour. Both modalities offer powerful ways to effect change in a relatively short space of time. I work by blending talking therapy with hypnosis in a gentle and supportive way that is outcome-focused, meaning you don’t have to talk about your problems. Instead, I help you focus on solutions that will move you forwards to a brighter future. Areas covered:
Anxiety, stress, depression, IBS, OCD, panic attacks, phobias, trauma, confidence and self-esteem, pain management, weight management, performance improvement, smoking/vaping cessation, and more. Please be aware that hypnotherapy is effective, however results may vary and success is not guaranteed. A degree of willpower and commitment is required, particularly for addictions, weight management and smoking/vaping cessation.

Today is the day when many of us return to work and school after the Christmas break. Here in the UK, the weather is cold and the amount of daylight barely seems to be increasing. I spotted the beginnings of a snowdrop the other day, but the crocuses and daffodils have a way to go yet.

If this time of year gets you down, know that there are things you can do. Nordic countries (where daylight is even less) have this down to a fine art – you may have come across the Danish concept of “hygge” (pronounced hoo-gah) which is about cosy contentment and wellbeing. In Norway, they talk about “koselig” (social cosiness), whilst the Swedes have “lagom” (balance and moderation). “Sisu” is the Finnish term for grit and perseverance (paired with comfort from nature and sauna), and in Iceland, it’s “þetta reddast” (pronounced thetta red-dast) which means it will all work out.

What all of these philosophies have in common is an acceptance of what is, a trust that things will be ok and a connection between the self, others and the environment. Whilst we don’t have a neat word or phrase to encapsulate this approach in the UK, the kinds of things we can do to embody it include:
- Taking walks in nature
- Spending time with loved ones
- Appreciating the necessity of this time of year as an important phase in the cycle of renewal and regrowth
- Nourishing ourselves with nutritious and warming food
- Wrapping up in a blanket with a good book and a hot drink
- Creating a cosy atmosphere with softer lighting or candles

If you would like some help finding calm, balance and wellbeing, then a few sessions of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can make a huge difference. Message me to find out more.

Continuing the “Ask me anything about how I work!” theme…

Q: Do you give recordings for me to listen to at home?

A: Yes. If you have an Initial Consultation with me then I will send you a 25-minute recording to use at home when going to sleep. It’s a guided relaxation that triggers a natural shift in brainwave patterns from a fully alert state to feeling much calmer, thereby creating an optimal environment for sleep. It also helps your subconscious to come up with solution focused strategies. As such, regular use of the recording reinforces the work we do in the sessions.

Keep smiling – it makes people wonder what you’re up to!
When we smile, we release positive neurotransmitters that make us feel good.

The poison? Negative thinking and self-criticism.

The antidote? Gratitude and appreciation.

It’s easy to get caught up in unhelpful thinking loops and critical self-judgement. It grabs our attention and obscures our view, so that we miss all the little moments of positivity and joy. In isolation, the good things might not seem like much, not really worth our attention, but they add up and can easily outweigh the not-so-good.

Why not try writing down at least three positives each evening before bed – things that went well, achievements, moments of laughter, anything you feel grateful for. Over time, you will be training your brain to look for the positives and your wellbeing will improve.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a method for getting help with mental and emotional problems in a way that doesn’t involve analysing or even discussing those problems. Instead, we focus on solutions. It’s incredibly effective for a wide range of issues and it even works when you want to improve your performance, regardless of whether that’s on the sports field, in business or anywhere else.

Message me to book a free initial consultation in January. Available in Tollesbury, Maldon or online via Zoom.

Ask me anything about how I work!

Q: What kind of training and qualifications do you have?

A: I trained initially as a life coach and subsequently completed more than 30 days of classroom training before qualifying as an NLP Master Practitioner. I then followed that with 20 days of classroom training to become a certified clinical hypnotherapist with an HPD (Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma level 4) and a DSFH (Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy). Alongside all of this, I have completed hundreds of hours of client work. I am a member of various professional bodies and registers, all of whom have done due diligence to confirm my fitness to practice.

In other words, you can be rest assured that I am appropriately qualified and experienced!

Young children are like little sponges, soaking everything up. You think you’re doing a good job of hiding your fears and anxieties but they’re actually not that easily fooled. Maybe it’s time to take the bull by the horns and become a role model for how you want your children to grow up – confident, independent, able to weigh up situations and have healthy boundaries.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you do this – get in touch today and book a free consultation.

Our brains are made up of around 100 billion neurons (the cells that communicate messages all over the body to enable us to do everything we do). It used to be thought that by the time we reached adulthood, our brains were fixed and incapable of change. Nothing could be further from the truth. Following the discovery of a concept called “neuroplasticity” we now know that our brains continue to create and reorganise neural pathways throughout our lives, enabling us to learn and adapt in response to our experiences.

Leveraging neuroplasticity supports neural fitness and reduces age-related cognitive decline. Activities that help to boost neuroplasticity include learning new skills, creative pursuits, exercise, sleep, games and puzzles, mindfulness.

Did you know that chronic stress can compromise your immune system?

When we feel stressed or anxious, our bodies release cortisol and adrenaline, enabling us to act instantaneously to fight, flee or freeze in the face of danger. However, most of the “threats” we face on a day-to-day basis aren’t going to kill us, so the fight/flight/freeze response isn’t needed and the stress chemicals hang around in the body causing inflammation. This adversely affects our immune system, making us more susceptible to illness – you may have noticed how easily you pick up infections when you’re feeling run down. Recovery time can also take longer.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps to lower stress levels and ease the pressure on your immune system.

Q: Can hypnotherapy help with my concern?

A: In all probability, yes! Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is great for issues like anxiety, phobias, confidence, low self-esteem and sleep problems. It is also hugely effective for trauma, addictions, IBS, performance improvement and management of chronic pain, as well as smoking or va**ng cessation.

I was five minutes into my step aerobics workout when it came to me – the answer to today’s BBC Breakfast GCHQ advent calendar quiz! Having started the week protesting that “my brain doesn’t work like that,” I am finding that actually it does…but only when I give it the space to do so.

Figuring out the answer was a process going on in the background, whilst my conscious mind concentrated on where to put my feet in time to the music, without tripping over my step and landing flat on my face. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works in a similar way, by helping you access the vast intellectual resources in your subconscious without your conscious thought processes getting in the way.
