Myhypnotherapy

Self-care isn't selfish; it's essential. Nurturing your mental well-being isn't a luxury but a foundation for a fulfilling life.

Being kinder to ourselves can play a huge part in easing our stress, depression and anxiety. I can help you show yourself the kindness and care you deserve, targeting the stresses or triggers that hinder you.

Prioritise self-care without guilt, and recognise that allowing self-care will replenish your own energy.

Give me a call or send me an email and we can arrange a FREE initial telephone consultation.

'Helping You Help Yourself'

The modern world can make it seem impossible to even think about taking time for yourself, let alone actually doing so.

In fact, prioritising yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed and anxious can often feel like 'another' thing to worry about!

However, by slowing down and taking time to prioritise yourself, you will enhance productivity and ultimately every other area of your life - feeling more confident, empowered, less anxious and overwhelmed.

You'll also realise that the world will keep spinning whilst you take the time to look after yourself.

Please do get in touch and see how I can help you cope with the pressures of today's world.

Balancing work and family responsibilities may leave you feeling overwhelmed, so much so that prioritising ourselves can seem like an unrealistic option.

However, by taking time to prioritise yourself you will benefit in every other area of your life, enabling you to move through your day more efficiently rather than in an overwhelmed state.

Making the decision to help yourself first will be life-changing, but it doesn't have to be "another" daunting thing on the never-ending to-do list.

'Helping You Help Yourself'

Therapy is thought to be one of the best methods for treating mental health conditions, healing trauma, and for helping you overcome negative thinking and behaviour, but therapy is also an essential tool for personal growth too.

Personal growth is an intangible process that can take you from just surviving to thriving.

"Just surviving" may feel fine in the moment, and you may tell yourself that life is as good as it gets, but on some level, you know it’s not fine and something needs to change.

Perhaps you’ve developed anxiety or depression, an addiction or a compulsion?

I can help you learn more about your true self and heal the fears and doubts that keep you from embracing it - ultimately helping you grow.

If you think your trauma made you who you are, think again. While traumatic events may change the course of your life from time to time, they are not responsible for your growth. In most cases, you are.

However, in some cases the effects of trauma can be wide-ranging and can impact a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Symptoms can include:

- Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks related to the traumatic event
- Feelings of guilt, shame, or self-blame
- Difficulty sleeping or nightmares
- Emotional numbness or detachment
- Avoidance of social situations and withdrawal from others
- Difficulties with concentration and memory
- Physical symptoms such as panic attacks, headaches or gastrointestinal issues

If you would like to find out more about how I can help you overcome trauma, please do get in touch for a free consultation.

'Helping You Help Yourself'

Do you frequently feel like you're not reaching your full potential? If so, you need to know what's actually stopping you.

Many times, our biggest obstacle is in fact ourselves - our mindset can hold us back and cause us to feel stagnant.

Sometimes it can be the anxiety and stress in our lives, or certain situations, that stop us from achieving more. It can even prevent us from going out, meeting people and doing tasks and activities that most take for granted.

Our thoughts and feelings about ourselves can also impact the way we live our lives. Not feeling ‘good enough’ and having a low self-worth can make life incredibly challenging.

I'm here to help you overcome the fears, thoughts and anxieties holding you back, helping you feel calm, more motivated, and positive.

Most of us go through life with some thoughts of how we would like to change our lives or ourselves. If you have been inspired by someone who has used therapy and turned their life around, that’s fantastic.

But make sure you run your own race, stay in your own lane and go at your own pace.

Don't run after others because your journey may not be the same, even if you want to get to the same destination.

Call me today or send me an email to arrange your FREE initial phone consultation. Not only will I meet you at the starting line, I’ll be with you along the way and be there cheering you on at the finish line.

Let's have a FREE telephone consultation, and together we can find the positive what ifs that will propel you into a life you want, rather than holding you back in the one you don't.

'Helping You Help Yourself'

Hi, I'm Barbara Shead, and I am passionate about helping people change their lives for the better.

A little bit about me and why I do what I do...

My journey started whilst investigating solutions to my own health issues. I became interested in nutrition, and in 2010 I obtained a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy.

In 2012 I added to my qualifications and training, attaining Diplomas in Hypnotherapy, Hypnoanalysis and an Advanced International Diploma in Psychotherapy, and in 2013 I became one of the first therapists to train with Terence Watts in BWRT® (Brainworking Recursive Therapy) which is a modern, immensely powerful style of therapy that can dissolve fears, phobias, anxieties and more complex problems rapidly, and today I am a BWRT® Level 3 Practitioner, Supervisor and Examiner.

In 2019 I undertook a Master Practitioner Programme in Eating Disorders and Obesity training, enabling me to bring together my nutritional and psychotherapeutic skills and qualifications to assist me to work compassionately and effectively with clients.

If you’re looking for someone to help you become the best version of yourself then you’ve come to the right place.

I have many successful years of experience helping people change their lives, whether it be addressing and working with symptoms of anxiety, removing unwanted habits, beliefs and behaviours, helping clients with diagnosed health conditions or getting back on the right track to healthy eating.

To find out more about the services I offer, visit my website or get in touch for a free initial telephone consultation.

Many Thanks
