Phoenix Holistic Health

Phoenix Holistic Health Holistic health service for those wanting an alternative way to heal their mindset and bodies. Hi and thanks for finding out more about my page and me. What?

My name is Lesley Ford and I am the founder of Phoenix Holistic Health UK Ltd. I came into the holistic therapy world in the late 1990's when I was suffering from M.E. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) within which I had a period of 2 years having to go shopping in a wheelchair as I had no energy to walk long distances, and after my GP told me that there was no specific treatemt for this condition and

the only options for me was to go on anti-depressants, I started to investigate how else I could help myself recover. My journey back to full health was a long one (9 years in total) as I was stubborn and would not listen to my body! I suffered from panic attacks, migraines, no or very low energy, attention deifict and I could only focus on looking at pictures, no text, and eventually a friend recommended I see a homeopath. was my reaction! I had no idea what that type of therapy was!! My first experience with my 'homeopath' was something I had never experienced before with any health professional, someone sitting there and listening to me for once, he took my 'full case' and worked out my constitutional remedy and my recovery started. My recovery took about 18 months to 2 years to become what I would say 'being fully back to normal' but each small step was attributed to Homeopathy, and as such, I decided to look for a short course to help my young family at the time whenever they became ill, alas there were none and all I could find was a 4 year part time course to become a Registered Homeopath, so I trained and qualified in 2005, I then went on to study my Post Graduate in Homeoapthy for another 2 years. I worked full time in another business role whilst still practising in a very part time capacity within my practice. It was in 2019, that I was made redundant from my full time business role and I decided that now was the time to launch my dream of my full time practice to help others. Phoenix Holistic Health UK Ltd was set up in December 2019 and I now also have added Coaching to my skillset, covering NLP, (Neuro Linguistic Programming, Law of Attraction, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique- also known as Tapping. I am happy to say that I now enjoy FULL health and have done so for many years now and am honoured by the fact that I am here to help others heal themsleves. When I was at my lowest health I had to give up my job and had very little finances to cope and having to find more money for holistic treatment seemed daunting at the time, and so, with that in mind, I have set up a monthly payment option for those that want the treatment but with flexibility on payment. BONUS- also included in the monthly payment plan is the basic 18 remedy kit (RRP 29.99) for you to keep at home , and comes to you after the first monthly payment has been received. You can also pay per treatment if you wish. Coaching 1-2-1 and mindset courses are available, please ask for more details, where I explore with you your limiting beliefs and values that are embedded in your subconscious mind and may have been holding you back from achieving your own dreams in your life. Wishing you a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by, if you would like to have an informal chat about how I can help you gain optimum health or a better mindset, then please do contact me for a free chat.

Have you got a mind gremlin causing chaos?

We all have one. That little internal voice that stalls progress, fuels overwhelm, or keeps you second-guessing yourself.

👉 The perfectionist.
👉 The peacekeeper.
👉 The procrastinator.

Recognising your gremlin is the first step.
Disrupting its pattern? That’s where real change begins.

Which one feels familiar to you?

Triggers aren’t always bad.
They’re reminders.

When anxiety, cravings, or old fears get “set off,” it isn’t weakness — it’s your unconscious showing you where the pattern lives.

The key isn’t avoiding triggers.

It’s rewiring your response so they no longer control you.

The Pretender Gremlin loves to whisper right when you’re stepping up.

It says:
“Who do you think you are?”
“You’re not ready for this.”
“Any minute now, they’ll find you out.”

It feeds on doubt, thrives on comparison, and drains confidence from even the most capable people.

But here’s the twist — the Pretender Gremlin only appears when you’re growing.
It doesn’t show up when you’re stuck. It shows up when you’re expanding beyond what’s familiar.

So if that voice has been loud lately, maybe it’s not a sign you’re faking it.
Maybe it’s a sign you’re levelling up.

At Phoenix Hypnotherapy in Cheltenham, Gloucester, and surrounding areas, I help people retrain the Pretender Gremlin — transforming self-doubt into self-trust.

I spoke with someone recently who said,
"I don’t even know who I am anymore. I used to be confident, creative… lighter somehow."

And it reminded me of something I once read —
how centuries ago, artists would paint over their own canvases.

Sometimes out of necessity.
Sometimes to hide a piece that felt too raw or too revealing.

The original painting didn’t vanish — it was just covered.

Many of us do the same thing in life.
We paint over parts of ourselves to keep the peace, to fit in, or to protect something that once felt too tender to show.

But those hidden parts never stop existing.
They’re still there, waiting quietly beneath the surface.

And when they start to reappear — through gentle change, through healing, through permission — that’s not creating something new.
That’s restoration.

Most people believe they’re afraid of change — on some level.

That they don’t like new things.
That they struggle to let go.
That they prefer the familiar.

But in reality, most people don’t resist change.
They resist uncertainty.

It’s not the new job that feels uncomfortable.
It’s not the new relationship.
It’s not the new routine.

It’s the space in between —
where the old identity no longer fits,
and the new one hasn’t settled yet.

That in-between phase is where the mind feels least safe.

Because certainty gives the mind something to hold onto.
Even if what’s familiar isn’t ideal, it’s known.
And the unconscious mind prefers known discomfort over unknown possibility.

This is why people often stay in situations that don’t serve them.
Not because they’re happy —
but because they know how to survive there.

It’s not change that needs managing.
It’s uncertainty.

The story you repeat
Your mind believes what you tell it.
Repeat a story of doubt and you’ll shrink.
Repeat a story of strength and you’ll rise.
What story are you choosing today?

The inner critic isn’t the truth — it’s just one voice in your head

We all have an inner critic.
That voice that says “You’re not good enough” or “Why even bother?”

But the critic isn’t the whole story.
It’s just one voice in your head.

Hypnotherapy helps quieten that critic and strengthen the other voices — the ones that build confidence, calm, balance, and support with things like slimming, anxiety, sleep, and emotions.

The inner critic doesn’t get the final say unless you let it of course!

The Forget-Me Gremlin is polite. Too polite.

It says:
“Sort everyone else first.”
“I’ll rest later.”
“It’s fine, I’ll manage.”

It looks generous. But what it really does is run you empty.

You can’t pour from an empty cup — and eventually, the cracks start to show.
Exhaustion, resentment, anxiety — all the things that creep in when you’ve ignored your own needs for too long.

Here’s the truth: self-care isn’t indulgence.
It’s maintenance.

At Phoenix Hypnotherapy in Cheltenham, Gloucester, and surrounding areas, I help people retrain the Forget-Me Gremlin — rebuilding healthy boundaries, balance, and self-respect so they can give from strength, not depletion.
