Self Care: How to look after yourself in unfamiliar times
March 31, 2020
Self care is something that can easily drop off the radar at the best of times, and so in these unfamiliar times, it has never been more important to recognise that in order to give our best to others, we must also be doing something for ourselves. As well as prompting those who are ‘near and dear’ to us to look after themselves, we must be doing the same for ourselves. It is all to easy...
New year...new beginnings
December 27, 2019
A new year means new beginnings and fresh starts, an opportunity to embrace new perspectives when considering the future and all the wonderful possibilities it holds for you. Whether you are someone who avidly creates a list of New Year resolutions, or maybe the holiday season has offered you some time to reflect about what you would like to achieve. Many of us begin a new year with hopes and desires to commit to change, to...
7 Steps that can change your life!
October 31, 2019
Feeling discouraged? Feelings of overwhelm that come in waves? You aren't alone! All of us struggle with these feelings at times. Feelings of overwhelm and discouragement are particularly common at times of uncertainty in our lives, perhaps when there is a problem whose solution is not immediately obvious or achievable. Frustratingly, these feelings of overwhelm can leave us with racing minds, sleeplessness and fear about 'bad' outcomes and can result in us not taking appropriate...
World Mental Health Day musings...
October 10, 2019
So this Thursday I will join many around the world by wearing yellow to raise awareness of the need to attend to our mental health. With approximately 1in 4 people in the UK experiencing mental health problems each year*, and 1 in 6 people in England experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety or depression) in any given week**, it is essential that we start paying more attention to ourselves. We need to start...
Sticking with it through tough times
September 22, 2019
It’s easy to have faith when everything is going well, when life seems to be giving us an easy time. It is much harder to have faith when you are facing challenges in your life, which is of course when you need to apply your faith most of all. It is easy to be positive in when everything is going well, and much harder when challenges are thrown our way, but again, that is precisely when that...

Why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy? The benefits of focusing on solutions
August 20, 2019
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a highly effective form of therapy, which is attracting clients looking for support with mental and emotional struggles as well as physical ones. Cat, who specialises in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, explains, ‘We know that illnesses caused or made worse by stress are on the increase.* People process stress in different ways and conditions such as anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and migraines are known to be exacerbated by...
Mood food - how diet can affect your anxiety and what you can do about it
July 31, 2019
We have long been aware that a junk-filled diet is linked to poor physical health: lethargy, malnutrition and weight gain, which has recently been in the headlines, particularly with the current controversial advertising campaign from Cancer Research UK urging our nation to tackle childhood obesity. In more recent years we have become increasingly aware that a diet loaded with sugar, fat and processed foods has been linked to poor mental health. Anyone who has experienced...
Self-care - what is it, when and why do I need it?
June 4, 2019
So many of us are good at looking after other people - our children, our partners, our parents even our pet, but often we don’t employ those same skills to care for ourselves. All too often we offer excuses; ’I am too busy at the moment,’ or ‘I have too much on right now’ but taking care of yourself is in actual fact more important than taking care of others. Taking care of you ensures...
How do I find the right therapist for me?
June 3, 2019
How do I find the right therapist for me? Complementary therapies have become very popular, and as a result there are a wide range of therapies and therapists available to choose from. So how do you know which is the right one to choose for you? It is important to note that many therapies are so far unregulated by law, or are only subject to voluntary regulation, which can make it hard to identify those who are...
Why quality sleep will transform your life
June 1, 2019
We all know how important sleep is but do we invest enough in ensuring we get the ‘best’ sleep we can? We spend approximately one third of our lives asleep - so far that’s about 15 years for me - and yet when we sleep badly rarely do we do much about it. Sleep allows our bodies to grow (when we are young), repair, replenish, reboot and optimally enhance all major organs and brain processes. Conversely, lack...
