Ever feel like you’re just faking it at work, at home, or in life? That’s imposter syndrome - and it’s surprisingly common.

Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk shows how simple changes in your body language can shift how you feel about yourself. Combine that with hypnotherapy, and you can start rewiring old beliefs that hold you back.

Curious how this works in practice, and how you can start reclaiming your confidence? Check out my latest blog for a deep dive.

Discover how hypnotherapy helps overcome imposter syndrome by reprogramming subconscious beliefs and using body language to build authentic confidence, inspired by Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk on presence and power.

Back from southern Spain after a lovely few days of catching up with old friends.

I feel like October was basically a whole month of connecting with friends from my whole life, and as a result I actually feel more connected with myself!

Changes of scene and company seemed to have reset everything - my energy, perspective, even creativity feel renewed, with the depth and laughs I’ve shared with these totally ace women ✨

So grateful for this lovely feedback 💛

Sleep is one of the first things to unravel when we’re stressed or anxious - and one of the hardest things to put right once we’re in a negative cycle.

Yet, when we start sleeping well again, everything else begins to follow: mood, focus, resilience, even physical health.

Hypnotherapy can help calm the mind and retrain the body’s natural rhythm, making rest feel safe again.

If you’ve been struggling with poor sleep for months or even years, please know you are not stuck, and it can get better.

Hypnotherapy for sleep (and more) is available at and online.

We’re often told that the secret to success is more willpower.
But the truth? Willpower alone rarely works for long.

Most of us motivate ourselves with the ‘stick’ - pushing harder, criticising ourselves, or feeling guilty when we don’t follow through. But neuroscience shows that this kind of pressure activates the brain’s stress response, which actually makes it harder to stay consistent.

The alternative ‘carrot’ is rooted in positive emotion.
When you associate your goals with encouragement, calm, and small wins, your brain releases dopamine, strengthening the neural pathways that build confidence and motivation.

Confidence isn’t something you wake up with, it’s something you wire in, one small success at a time.

I’ve written more about this gentle, evidence-based approach in my latest blog, including how to start applying it in your own life.

So often, we set goals by focusing on what we want - a new job, more confidence, better sleep - without thinking about how we want to feel when we get there.

In my latest blog, I explore a kinder, more effective approach to goal-setting - one that’s backed by psychology and builds confidence along the way.

It’s always so lovely to hear how clients are finding their sessions!

Hypnotherapy is such a personal journey, and seeing calm and confidence grow over time is the most rewarding part of what I do. Thanks for the feedback!

It’s been a couple of weeks of goodbyes, new beginnings, and sea air - here’s a little round-up of life lately 🌿

Lately you’ll have found me walking the coast path, sea-dipping, loving food (a recent discovery with was pistachio profiteroles!) and generally heading into autumn with coziness and sparkle.

If you’re new here - hi, I’m Ellie. I’m a hypnotherapist based in Wadebridge, helping people find calm, confidence and clarity when the noise in their head gets a bit too much.

It’s been a good week in the therapy room:

✨ 3 Initial Consultations
✨ 1 Smoke Quit session
✨ 5 ongoing clients working through anxiety, IBS and imposter syndrome.

A big change in my routine this month - I’ve started working part-time at in Bude, and it’s been such a fun change of scene! It was definitely a wrench to say goodbye to the lovely team after seven years, but luckily they don’t get rid of me that easily - I’m still there each week for hypnotherapy sessions. 🌿

I’m feeling really grateful for the balance of it all – a bit of sea air, some sunshine, loving friends, and meaningful work with people who are ready to make change.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change too, drop me a message and say hi.

Many of my clients come to me saying the same thing:
“I’m exhausted, but I can’t switch off.”

Anxiety and sleep problems often show up together - one feeds the other until it feels like your body has forgotten how to rest.

In my latest blog, I explore why this happens, how hypnotherapy helps calm both mind and body, and a few simple ways to start improving your sleep tonight.

If you (or someone you know) often lie awake replaying the day or worrying about tomorrow, this one’s for you.

Do you ever find that as soon as your head hits the pillow, your mind starts racing?
You’re not alone - anxiety and sleep problems often go hand in hand.
