Hello lovelies! You may have noticed that we have cleaned out our store and added a bunch of new products. We're currently focusing on the 5-4-3-2-1 method of grounding. What is sensory grounding? The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a sensory-based grounding technique designed to help manage anxiety and bring your focus back to the present moment. It's a simple exercise that engages all five of your senses. When dealing with a difficult emotion, the person uses cues in their environment to identify: 5 things you can see. 4 things you can touch. 3 things you can hear. 2 things you can smell. 1 thing you can taste. How it helps By focusing on these sensory experiences, you can help interrupt the cycle of overwhelming thoughts and bring yourself back to the present moment. It's a … [Read more...] about Something New and Exciting!

Your consultation is a relaxed, confidential space where we’ll explore your needs, set clear goals, and discuss how hypnotherapy or guided wellness sessions might support you.

How much does a session cost? Pricing varies depending on the type of session or programme—whether it’s one-to-one hypnotherapy, a guided relaxation class, a confidence-building workshop, or something else.

Mindful Monday: Intensive Observations
In today's Mindful Monday we're doing a simple exercise, which you may carry out basically, anywhere. Step 1: Choose an object to focus on. It may be a leaf, a stone, a flower or plant, if you're outdoors. Or a desk, cup or glass., if you're indoors. Step 2: Have a really good look at it. Notice it's shape, colour, texture, corners, where one surface meets another, how the light reflects of its surface. If a man-made object, or something that has been processed in some way, consider how it was made and what processes might be involved.

Mindful Monday: mindful walking
In today's Mindful Monday we're looking at a simple task you can do whilst taking a walk. Step 1 Set off on a short walk; preferably somewhere scenic and quiet, but this isn't essential. Step 2 Now, use your ears and listen to the sounds around you, such as the sound of passing cars, birds chirping in the trees, leaves rustling in the wind, or the sound of people mowing their lawn. Really focus on every noise and consider how loud or quiet it is. Step 3 Use your sense of smell and notice what you can smell. Inhale deeply and see if you can notice the more subtle scents too. You might notice the smell of summer flowers, the scent of a freshly mowed lawn, or food being cooked on a BBQ. Notice all the smells, and register how feint or strong they are, or whether they're pleasant or … [Read more...] about Mindful Monday: mindful walking

Mindful Monday: slow your thoughts
In today's Mindful Monday we're looking at a simple task you can do to slow your thoughts. This task can make it easier to process your thoughts in the longer term, but avoid processing your thoughts during this actual task. Step 1 Set a 20 minute timer for this task. Start by noticing your thoughts, including the speed of them. At first, you might find it difficult to notice them, but you will be able to with some practice. Don't pass judgement on them...just notice that they're there. Step 2 Notice the speed of your thoughts. You will likely find that they're moving quite fast. Again, don't pass any judgement on them. Step 3 Now, imagine those thoughts as little balls bouncing around, bouncing off the walls and each other. Notice how fast they're moving and how chaotic it … [Read more...] about Mindful Monday: slow your thoughts
