Tracy Daniels Therapies - Hypnotherapy for Positive Change

04/08/2026

Yesterday, I cut some fresh flowers from my garden ready for my clients. Flowers make me feel happy; they lift my spirit and brighten my day. Just looking at them makes me feel good. 😌

I love gardening, connecting to nature, wildlife, and being outdoors. These are things that calm my mind and feed my soul. They’re good for our mental health because they activate our body’s natural healing systems (the parasympathetic nervous system and feel-good brain chemicals) which reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and low mood.

This is the reason that so many mental health units and projects use gardening therapy for their patients/service users. I like to ensure that when clients come to see me, they are surrounded by nature and beautiful plants and flowers.

The flowers are from Coreopsis Early Sunrise. 🌼

It takes many small steps to rewire your brain and make positive changes in life. When trying to change something, get out of rut, shift your mood, break an old unwanted habit or develop a new habit, there will be times when you might find yourself taking two steps forward then one step backward, but if the overall momentum is forward, then you will get there eventually. Many small steps can lead to big changes, provided you are consistent and motivated. Try to be positive and hopeful. ✨

I am available to offer support, if you need it, to take small steps toward the desired changes in your life. 🌸

It is often said that “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” As a carer and a therapist I know the truth of that saying. Yet, so many people, especially women, and especially carers, don’t seem to realise when it is necessary to stop and take a break. The result is burnout! Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and tired all the time. 😔

I’ve been there. I’ve done it and I know what it’s like. You feel that you have to keep giving for everyone else, and you either forget about yourself or you put your own needs to one side, promising that you’ll take better care of yourself at some point in the future. But that point never arrives!

You absolutely have to make time to look after yourself first because unless you do you can’t take care of anyone else without feeling exhausted, irritable or resentful.
It’s okay to look after yourself first.

How are you coping with this heatwave? In my family we are not doing so well because we are sensitive to the heat. I wish I could lie down and be comfortable on a cool granite surface like our cat. Rosie has taken to the island in the kitchen and settled down in front of the fan. Cats are so clever!

Some things that are helping me get through this week that you may find helpful are:

❄️ Taking my portable rechargeable hand fan with me everywhere.

❄️ Drinking lots of water.

❄️ Wearing loose cotton clothes.

❄️ Keeping a fan on overnight in the bedroom.

❄️ Keeping the blinds down and the windows closed during the day, then opening them up for the cooler air to flow in at nighttime.

❄️ Eating fruit and salad - avoiding too much protein, hot and spicy foods.

❄️ Taking a little break whenever possible.

❄️ Placing my hands and wrists in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes.

❄️ Placing an ice-cold flannel on the back of my neck.

I hope you find some of these tips helpful. Stay well, stay cool, and take care of yourself physically and mentally. 💚

Happy Summer Solstice! 🌞Today we have reached the longest day in the northern hemisphere, meaning that the sun is at the highest position in the sky. This is a wonderful time for gratitude, healing, personal growth, and for setting intentions for the rest of the year.

A warm welcome awaits all clients who come to see me in my therapy room where I endeavour to create an oasis of calm - a safe and relaxing space to talk, destress, unwind and reset your nervous system with a pretty garden view. 🌸

June is one of my favourite months of the year when everything is in full bloom. One of my clients said, “I love coming here. Your garden is so relaxing and beautiful.” My garden is a little sanctuary from the world – and my therapy room is a place to reset your mind. 🧠

Whether it is hypnotherapy, mindfulness, or talking therapy that brings to you to see me, I do my best to assure you of peace and quiet in a calm and safe environment. 🌿

This is one of my favourite quotes from Mahatma Ghandi, a gentle yet immensely powerful man and a great thinker. I was fortunate to enjoy a visit to the Ghandi Museum in Delhi when I was there in 2019. 🇮🇳

We cannot change the world unless we begin with ourselves. We may believe that we can’t change ourselves, but we can! In fact, our brains are designed to enable that to happen, and any behavioural scientist will tell you there is plenty of evidence that humans are capable of making positive changes. Of course, we must want to - motivation is essential. ✨

When a person is motivated but needs support, I use a range of skills and techniques drawing upon solution focused hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and counselling to enable each person to make positive and lasting changes and work toward living a calmer, happier life. 🌿
