🧠 Your mind is powerful - more than you know.

It can hold you in fear, self-doubt, or overwhelm…
But it can also help you heal, grow, and move forward.

The way we think shapes how we feel, and how we feel shapes how we live.
That’s why therapy isn’t just about talking - it’s about learning to use your mind as a tool for resilience, clarity, and change.

At TurningTides-Therapy.co.uk, we help you:
🌟 Understand your thought patterns
💭 Build healthier beliefs
🛠️ Find strength during tough times
🌊 Regain control - one step at a time

Hard times are part of life. But you don’t have to face them alone - or unprepared.

🌱 Confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you build.

If you often doubt yourself, worry about what others think, or hold back from opportunities, you’re not alone. Confidence grows from small steps, self-compassion, and learning to trust your own inner voice. 💬💛

Here are a few gentle ways to start:
✨ Celebrate small wins
✨ Challenge negative self-talk
✨ Surround yourself with supportive people
✨ Practice saying yes to new experiences — and no when it matters

At Turning Tides Therapy, I can help you explore what’s holding your confidence back and support you in building it up from the inside out through talk therapy, CBT and/or hypnotherapy.

🧠 You already have the strength — sometimes you just need the space to find it.
📍 In-person and online sessions available.

Message me to arrange a no obligation short call to discuss what you are looking for.

Ever wondered what hypnotherapy is?

https://happiful.com/what-is-hypnotherapy-and-does-it-really-work?fbclid=IwVERDUAOkn_lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR519Ay4aYcU53eK9oV_t0AubIKiGH117AkJ9G2MGgTwYuY4bWugivr90yQWmQ_aem_-ktpytDTJW7w8VfM02Kt_A

Let’s answer your most common questions and break down some hypnotherapy misconceptions

🌀 How does hypnotherapy actually work?

It’s not about being “put under” or losing control - it’s about gently guiding your mind into a deeply relaxed, focused state.

In this calm space, your subconscious becomes more open to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking.

🌿 Hypnotherapy helps you quiet the noise of everyday thoughts and connect with the part of your mind that holds habits, emotions, and patterns. From easing anxiety and stress to building confidence or breaking old habits, it helps you make meaningful, lasting change from within. 💫
Think of it as pressing pause on the chaos - giving your mind the space to reset, rebalance, and heal.

✨ At Turning Tides Therapy, we use hypnotherapy to help you move forward with calm, confidence, and clarity.

💭 Therapy isn’t just for when things fall apart - it’s a space to help you thrive.

Sometimes life becomes a tangle of thoughts, emotions, and expectations. Therapy offers the chance to slow down, reflect, and untangle what’s been building up. It can help you understand yourself more deeply, find clarity, and strengthen your sense of well being. 🌿

Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, loss, or just feeling a little lost - therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, find balance, and build healthier ways to cope and grow.

Because your mental wellbeing matters - and you don’t have to face things alone. 💚

✨ At Turning Tides Therapy, we’re here to help you find calm waters again.

🌟 We all need a sense of purpose 🌟

Purpose gives our lives direction. It doesn’t have to be something grand or world-changing - sometimes it’s the small things that light us up: caring for loved ones, enjoying creativity, learning, helping others, or simply finding moments of peace.

When we lose sight of our “why,” life can feel empty or overwhelming. But reconnecting with purpose can restore hope, motivation, and meaning.

At Turning Tides Therapy, we can help you explore what truly matters to you, so you can create a life that feels more grounded and fulfilling. 🌊

💌 If you’re searching for purpose, you don’t have to search alone - we’re here to walk alongside you.

🌿 Grief is love with nowhere to go 🌿

Bereavement touches us all at some point in life, yet it can feel like one of the loneliest journeys. The waves of sadness, anger, confusion - even numbness - are natural responses to loss.

There is no “right” way to grieve, and no set timeline. Your healing is unique to you. ❤️

What matters most is giving yourself permission to feel, to remember, and to take gentle steps forward at your own pace.

At Turning Tides Therapy, we offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your grief and find ways to carry both your loss and your love.

💌 If you’re navigating bereavement, you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out when you’re ready to see how we can help.

Everyone is always going on about self-care. But why??
Taking time out for ourselves is soooo beneficial. It helps us to stop the merrygo round and hop off for a moment. It gives our brains a break, a chance to stop and realign and be ready to go again.
Self-care looks different for everyone, some people need a holiday once or twice a year, others its going to the gym or being social a few times a week. For others it could be quiet evenings and binge watching Netflix. It doesn't matter what it is, the important thing is you do it and give yourself a chance to stop.

Practicing self-care will:
Reduces stress and anxiety
Improves mental health
Boosts Self esteem and confidence
Prevent burnout
Increases a person's energy levels and productivity.

🔥 Burnout isn’t just being tired 🔥

Burnout creeps in quietly — the constant exhaustion, the lack of motivation, the feeling that even simple tasks are overwhelming. It’s your mind and body’s way of saying: “I can’t keep running on empty.”

It doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’ve been strong for too long without rest.

💡 The first step to healing from burnout is recognising it. The next is giving yourself permission to pause, recharge, and seek support.

At Turning Tides Therapy, we can help you find balance again — so you can reconnect with your energy, your peace, and yourself. 🌊

✨ Don’t wait for tomorrow ✨

How often do we tell ourselves “I’ll start tomorrow”? Whether it’s looking after our wellbeing, setting healthy boundaries, or finding support - tomorrow always seems like the easier option.

But here’s the truth: real change begins the moment you choose it. 🌱 Every step, no matter how small, is an act of self-care and a commitment to yourself.

Why not start today? Reach out, take that first step, and open the door to the positive change you deserve.

At Turning Tides Therapy, we’re here to support you on that journey. 💙

📩 Get in touch today - your tomorrow will thank you.
