It feels like only 2 minutes ago I shared this when we last has a heatwave 🤔

Certain antidepressants can affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature and may increase the risk of overheating or dehydration during hot weather.

Common examples include:
💊 Sertraline
💊 Citalopram
💊 Escitalopram
💊 Fluoxetine
💊 Paroxetine
💊 Venlafaxine
💊 Duloxetine
💊 Mirtazapine

This doesn’t mean you need to worry or stop taking your medication. It simply means taking a little extra care when temperatures climb.

☀️ Stay hydrated
☀️ Keep as cool as possible
☀️ Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat
☀️ Pay attention to how your body is feeling

I’ve shared videos about this before with practical tips for managing your mental health during these hot spells - I’ll repost these in my stories.

🔂 Please share this post with anyone you know who takes antidepressants or other medications.

Many people are unaware of this potential effect and a little awareness can go a long way in helping people stay safe and comfortable during warmer weather.

Take care and keep safe 💕

Ever noticed how your brain can turn a ‘what if?’ into a full-blown disaster movie? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Worry can feel like you’re preparing yourself for every possible outcome, but often your brain is simply trying a little 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 to keep you safe.

And when you’re already anxious, knowing something logically probably won’t happen doesn’t always stop your brain from worrying about it anyway.

📺 Watch this to find out why your brain does this, and what you can do about it.

Is it just me that shouts ‘COWS!’ when I spot them on a drive?! 🐄

Because honestly, I hope I never become too grown-up for that kind of joy.

🧠 Our brains are naturally drawn to novelty, and noticing something different, unexpected or enjoyable gives us a little dopamine boost.

It helps engage the brain’s reward system and can shift our attention away from stress and towards what’s happening right here, right now.

And no, I’m not saying a good cup of coffee or a field of cows is going to solve all your problems 😂

But regularly noticing the small things that bring you joy can be a really positive habit for your mental health.

So keep the parts of you that get excited about the little things.

👉 And if you like your mental health content with a bit of neuroscience, a bit of humour and plenty of ‘Yep, I do that too’ moments, follow along.

Why would a Hypnotherapist tell people NOT to work with them? 🤔

Because the right therapist isn’t the right therapist for everyone.

And that’s exactly how it should be.

There are a lot of misconceptions about hypnotherapy. That it’s mind control. That it’s a quick fix. That you’ll lie back, I’ll wave a magic wand and you’ll leave completely transformed without lifting a finger.

If only it worked like that!

The reality is much more empowering.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is grounded in neuroscience. It’s about helping your brain build new, more helpful pathways through repetition, relaxation and practical strategies. My role is to guide you through that process, but lasting change happens when we work together.

If you’re curious about hypnotherapy but aren’t quite sure what to expect, this carousel is for you.

Save it for later, share it with someone who’s always wondered what hypnotherapy is really like, and if you have any questions, pop them in the comments. I’m always happy to answer them.

One of the things I’ve learnt from working as a Clinical Hypnotherapist is that anxiety doesn’t discriminate.

I’ve worked with people navigating trauma, grief and incredibly difficult life experiences.

I’ve also worked with people who, from the outside, seem to have everything they could ever want.

Loving families. Successful careers. Financial security. Good friends.

Yet they often tell me the same thing:
‘𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙄 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮... 𝙨𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨?’

🧠 The truth is, our brains don’t decide whether we’re ‘allowed’ to feel anxious based on our circumstances.

My therapy room has always been a judgement-free space.

You never need to convince me that your anxiety is ‘bad enough’ or that you have enough reasons to be struggling.

❌ Together, we don’t spend session after session analysing everything that’s wrong.

✅ Instead, we focus on understanding how your brain works, recognising the strengths that have got you this far, and helping you move towards feeling calmer, happier and, as so many of my clients put it:

‘𝙄 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.’

I’ve written a new blog post explaining why anxiety can show up even when life is going well, the neuroscience behind it, and why it’s much more common than you might think.

One week (or more!) into the Summer Holidays... how’s everyone doing?

Maybe you’ve had some lovely family moments ☺️

Maybe you’ve already heard ‘I’m bored’ approximately 642 times 😬

Or perhaps you’re wondering how there are still so many weeks left 🙈

If you’re feeling more frazzled than fulfilled, you’re definitely not alone.

The Summer holidays often bring a huge increase in the mental load.

You’re juggling childcare, work, meals, outings, keeping everyone entertained... all whilst trying to find five minutes to yourself.

No wonder your brain feels overloaded 🤯

I originally wrote this blog last summer, but after so many conversations in my therapy room over the past week with parents feeling overwhelmed, I realised it’s just as relevant now. So I thought it was worth sharing again.

In it, I explain:
🧠 What’s happening in your brain when the mental load ramps up
😳 Why this time of year can feel so overwhelming

I also share some simple, practical tips to help you feel calmer and enjoy the rest of the holidays without putting pressure on yourself to create the ‘perfect’ summer.

If the first week or two has left you feeling like you need a bit of a reset, I hope you’ll find it helpful 💕
