Our phones are designed to keep our attention, but the good news is, our brains can change too. 🧠✨

Small changes to our phone habits can help improve focus, sleep, anxiety levels and our ability to be fully present in everyday life.

Try the 7-Day Reset Challenge on this handout and notice what changes. Less scrolling, more living. 💙

📚 Supporting Children & Young People in Education

The new school year is now underway, and for some children and teenagers, settling back into education can feel overwhelming.

Anxiety around school can present in so many different ways: poor sleep, tummy aches, overthinking, friendship worries, lack of confidence, exam pressure or simply feeling unable to cope with the demands of the day.

Having spent 16 years working in education, supporting young people is an area I feel particularly passionate about.

I use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy to help children and teenagers manage anxiety, build confidence and resilience, improve sleep and feel more in control.

A calmer, more confident school year really is possible.

🧠 What if this autumn you stopped waiting until you felt completely overwhelmed before doing something about it?

Many people come to therapy when they’ve been coping for months , sometimes years.

They’re functioning. Working. Parenting. Getting things done.

But underneath it all there might be anxiety, poor sleep, overthinking, low confidence, panic, difficult memories or simply the feeling that their brain never switches off.

You don’t have to reach crisis point before asking for support.

I use a combination of Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, EMDR and other therapeutic approaches, tailored to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

September can be a good opportunity to make some space for you.

A calmer autumn can start with one conversation. 🍂

🎒 Back to school doesn’t only affect the children.

September can bring a whole mixture of emotions for families.

For children and teenagers it might be:
• Worry about a new school or year group
• Friendship anxiety
• Exam pressure
• Difficulty sleeping
• Low confidence
• Overthinking
• Feeling overwhelmed by expectations

And for parents, the return to routine can bring its own mental load too.

I work with children and teenagers aged 8+, as well as adults, using solution-focused psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to help calm the nervous system, build confidence and develop more helpful patterns of thinking.

Having spent many years working in education, I understand that sometimes a young person doesn’t need to be told to “stop worrying”.

They need practical tools to help their brain learn that they can cope.

🍂 September can feel like a fresh start, but it can also feel overwhelming.

The holidays are ending, routines are returning, schools are going back and suddenly life feels busy again.

If you’ve noticed your anxiety creeping up, your mind racing ahead, or that familiar feeling of “I need to get everything sorted”, you’re not alone.

September doesn’t have to mean putting more pressure on yourself.

Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy can help you:
✨ Calm an overactive mind
✨ Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
✨ Improve sleep
✨ Build confidence
✨ Create healthier habits and thought patterns
✨ Feel more in control again

Sometimes the most useful September reset isn’t changing everything around you, it’s changing how your mind responds to it.

✨ What can I help you with?

Sometimes people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want help with. Other times, they simply know that something needs to change.

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner, I work with adults, children and teenagers with a wide range of challenges, including:

🧠 Anxiety, stress & overthinking
🌙 Sleep difficulties
💭 Confidence & self-esteem
✈️ Fears & phobias – including flying, driving and medical procedures
🫶 Trauma, PTSD & difficult past experiences
📚 Exam nerves & academic pressure
🎭 Performance anxiety – particularly for musicians and performers
🌿 OCD, intrusive thoughts & health anxiety
🍃 IBS and stress-related symptoms
🥂 Changing habits around food, alcohol, sugar, smoking or va**ng
🤢 Emetophobia & travel sickness
🔥 Menopause/perimenopause support
🌈 Support for neurodivergent adults and young people
💫 Motivation, mindset and feeling more like you again

Therapy doesn’t always have to focus endlessly on what’s gone wrong.

We can focus on where you want to be, what you’d like to feel differently, and the small changes that can help you get there.

🎒 Back to school isn’t easy for every child or teenager.

For some, September brings excitement.
For others, it can bring worry about friendships, lessons, expectations, exams or simply getting back into a routine.

Sometimes that worry shows itself in unexpected ways, difficulty sleeping, tummy aches, irritability, avoiding things they normally enjoy, or lots of “what if?” thoughts.

I work with children and teenagers from age 8+, helping them understand how their brain responds to stress and giving them practical tools to feel calmer and more confident.

Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we focus less on what’s going wrong and more on helping them recognise their strengths and move towards how they’d like to feel.

Appointments are available in Hilperton, Bath and online.

September doesn’t have to mean doing more.

As summer begins to wind down, you might notice that familiar feeling creeping in!

The routines are returning.
The diary is filling up.
Work is getting busier.
And your mind is already racing ahead.

But perhaps this September could be less about getting everything sorted and more about feeling calmer, clearer and more in control.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you quieten an overactive mind, reduce anxiety and overwhelm, sleep better and start approaching everyday life from a calmer place.

I have appointments available for September in my peaceful therapy cabin in Hilperton, at The Practice Rooms in Bath, and online.

If you’ve been thinking about getting some support, this could be a good time to begin.

🍂 September can feel like a fresh start.

There’s something about the end of summer and the beginning of September that naturally brings our attention back to routines, goals and the things we’d like to change.

Maybe you’ve spent months thinking…

I need to do something about my anxiety.

I want to feel more confident.

I’m tired of overthinking everything.

I want to sleep better.

I want to feel more like myself again.

Therapy doesn’t have to mean spending months looking backwards or focusing endlessly on what’s wrong.

My approach is solution-focused, helping you understand what’s happening, calm the nervous system and begin noticing and building more of the thoughts, behaviours and responses you do want.

I work with adults, children and teenagers with a wide range of issues, including:

🌿 Anxiety, stress & overwhelm
🌿 Confidence & self-esteem
🌿 Fears & phobias
🌿 Sleep difficulties
🌿 Exam & performance anxiety
🌿 Habits and unwanted behaviours
🌿 Health anxiety & worrying thoughts
🌿 Life changes and new beginnings

September appointments are available at my private therapy spaces in Hilperton and central Bath, as well as online.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll deal with it eventually”, perhaps September can be your eventually. 💛

GCSE Results Day!

GCSE Results Day can bring so many different emotions, excitement, relief, pride, disappointment, worry, and sometimes all of them at once.

For some young people, the build-up to opening that envelope or logging onto results can feel overwhelming.

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, and with 16 years of experience working in education, I understand just how much pressure young people can place on themselves around exams and results.

A reminder for tomorrow:

✨ Your results do not define you.
✨ There is more than one route to where you want to go.
✨ One set of grades cannot measure your creativity, kindness, resilience or potential.
✨ Whatever is written on that piece of paper, there are always next steps.

And for parents, sometimes the most helpful thing we can offer is calm, reassurance and the message: “We’ll work it out together.”

If anxiety, confidence, school pressure or worries about starting sixth form, college or a new chapter are getting in the way, I work with children and teenagers aged 8+ to help them feel calmer, more confident and better able to cope.
