A gentle guide for when focus feels far away The ADHD mind isn’t broken. It’s vivid, dynamic, and deeply responsive—often alive with colour, movement, and possibility. But in moments of overwhelm, that richness can feel like too much. Thoughts stack. Feelings collide. And the usual relaxation tools—stillness, silence, breath counting—can feel impossibly far away. Often, this isn’t resistance. It’s saturation - overwhelm. So instead of asking the ADHD mind to “calm down,” we offer it something else: a shift. A sensory anchor. In essence, we meet it where it is, and transform it into something else. Here are a few gentle ways to support calm without forcing stillness: Tip #1: Let movement lead Stillness can feel like pressure. Try swaying, stretching, or walking in loops. Let your … [Read more...] about Calming the ADHD Mind: A gentle guide for when focus feels far away
What hypnotherapy can help with
At the Top of Your Tree? 3 Things You Can Try
Today, I'd like to share a quiet guide for when your resources are maxed out, because there comes a moment—often quietly—when the usual tools stop working. The breath cues feel hollow. The affirmations don’t land. Even rest feels like effort. You’ve tried everything. And still, something aches. This isn’t failure. It’s a threshold. When your resources are maxed out, the nervous system isn’t asking for more input. It’s asking for less. Less stimulation. Less striving. Less fixing. What it needs is permission—to pause, to not know, to not try. Here are three gentle invitations for that moment: #1. Let the body lead Instead of reaching for a technique, notice where your body wants to be. Curled up? Stretched out? Under a blanket? Against a wall? Let it choose. Let it shift. No need … [Read more...] about At the Top of Your Tree? 3 Things You Can Try
Cosy Calm: Creating a Relaxation Corner at Home
Blankets, soft lighting, and a sense of sanctuary—this season invites us to slow down. As the days shorten and the air cools, many of us feel the pull toward warmth, stillness, and gentle rituals. Creating a relaxation corner at home isn’t about interior design or perfection—it’s about crafting a space that feels safe, warm, and yours. Whether you have a whole room or just a quiet corner, here are some ways to shape a nook that welcomes rest. Tip #1: Start with What You Already Have You don’t need to buy anything new. A favourite chair, a soft throw, a lamp with a warm glow—these are enough. The goal isn’t transformation. It’s intention. Choose a spot that feels tucked away, even if it’s just the end of the sofa or a corner of your bedroom. Let it be a place where you can … [Read more...] about Cosy Calm: Creating a Relaxation Corner at Home
Why Hypnotherapy Is the Missing Link in Your Wellness Routine
Reclaiming Calm and Confidence: Why Hypnotherapy Is the Missing Link in Your Wellness Routine In a world that glorifies hustle and productivity, calm and confidence have become luxuries. But what if they weren’t things you had to chase? What if they were already within you—just waiting to be reclaimed? As a senior hypnotherapy practitioner (registered with GHR) with 15 years of experience—and a background in nursing—I specialise in helping clients overcome fears and phobias. But beneath almost every fear I work with, there’s something deeper: a quiet erosion of confidence. That’s why confidence-building is the natural companion to my work, and often the most transformative part of the journey. At Eastthorpe Hall in Mirfield, and online, I offer a blend of hypnotherapy, guided … [Read more...] about Why Hypnotherapy Is the Missing Link in Your Wellness Routine
Even hypnotherapists have to do the work
Reflections on imposter feelings, overthinking, and owning your voice. People often assume that because I’m a hypnotherapist—with over 15 years of experience, a background in nursing, and a room full of calming tools—I must have it all figured out. But here’s the truth: I’m still a work in progress too. I care deeply about my clients. I think about their needs from every angle. I problem-solve, I plan, I prepare. I want every session, every product, every moment in my therapy suite to feel safe, thoughtful, and transformative. And sometimes, that care turns into overthinking. Sometimes, I hesitate to share my voice because I wonder, “Who am I to say this?” Sometimes, I struggle to delegate because I feel like I should be able to do it all myself. These are the quiet echoes … [Read more...] about Even hypnotherapists have to do the work
It’s just a worm!
“It’s just a worm.” But her body didn’t believe that. A few years ago, I worked with a woman who had a strong fear of worms. It had started in childhood—during what was meant to be a playful game. A friend had chased her with a worm, laughing. But for her, it wasn’t funny. It was overwhelming. She froze. She panicked. She felt trapped. And from that moment on, worms became something to avoid at all costs. Even as an adult, she knew it was “irrational.” But her body still reacted—tight chest, racing heart, a need to escape. She couldn’t garden. She avoided walks after rain. And she felt embarrassed by it, which only added to the distress. Here’s what I’ve learned after 15+ years in hypnotherapy and a background in nursing: Phobias aren’t irrational. They’re over-learned … [Read more...] about It’s just a worm!
