Today is Donald Duck Day. 🦆

Donald Duck has been getting himself into stressful situations since 1934.

He overreacts. He gets frustrated. He worries. He loses his temper. And somehow he keeps finding himself in the same situations over and over again.

Sound familiar?

One of the fascinating things about the human mind is that we often repeat the same patterns too. Not because we're weak or broken, but because the mind tends to stick with what it has learned.

The encouraging news is that patterns can change.

Whether it's anxiety, overthinking, lack of confidence, a fear, or a habit you'd rather leave behind, the mind is capable of learning new responses.

Even Donald Duck might benefit from a little hypnotherapy. 😉

Most people have heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder during the darker months. However, some people experience the opposite.

As the days get longer and brighter, they feel more anxious, unsettled, emotionally overwhelmed or unable to properly relax.

More social pressure, more stimulation, more expectation to feel better because it’s summer.

And yet internally, things can feel worse.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Hypnotherapy can help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety and help you feel more emotionally balanced and in control again.

Panic attacks- gone after just two sessions.

A parent recently left this review after bringing her teenage daughter to see me:

'My teenage daughter was experiencing debilitating panic attacks. After just two sessions with Neville, 3 months ago, they have completely stopped. I highly recommend Neville and his personable, unique approach and practice.'

Three months on, the panic attacks haven’t returned.

I don’t offer long, drawn-out programmes. Most people start to notice real change within a small number of sessions.

If your child or teenager is struggling with anxiety or panic, you’re welcome to get in touch for a brief, no-obligation chat. See link in comments below.

Ever notice how some things just stick with you?

The overthinking, the worry, that edge of anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere.

A lot of it starts earlier than we think.

Today’s Siblings Day, and it’s a reminder of how much our early experiences shape how we respond to things later in life.

The good news is, those patterns aren’t fixed. They can change.

I work with people every week who’ve felt stuck like this for years and things can shift more quickly than they expect.

Fear of flying can feel overwhelming, especially for children.

A recent client came to see me because his 9-year-old son had developed an extreme fear of flying after a particularly bad experience.

Even the thought of getting on a plane felt too much.

During our sessions, I taught him simple visualisation techniques to help his mind respond differently.

Since then, he has successfully completed a holiday and is now looking forward to another flight in a few months.

That shift in confidence can make a huge difference.

If you or your child are struggling with a fear or anxiety, hypnotherapy can help the mind learn a calmer response.

A recent client came to see me with a fear of driving on dual carriageways and motorways.

For a long time she had been avoiding them completely. Even the thought of joining fast-moving traffic brought on anxiety, so journeys became longer and more stressful as she tried to find alternative routes.

After two hypnotherapy sessions, something shifted.

Recently she drove all the way to Liverpool on her own using motorways and dual carriageways; something she hadn’t felt able to do for a long time.

What changed wasn’t her driving ability. She was always capable.

What changed was the automatic fear response that had been running in the background.

Phobias and fears often feel very powerful, but they are learned responses. And because they are learned, they can also be unlearned.

I work with clients in Dartington, near Totnes, and across South Devon who want to move past fears that have been limiting their lives.
