Emma Reynolds Therapy

2 years ago I developed a business, designed to help patients to receive care and surgery more quickly, I wanted to help in time of NHS crisis, as you can imagine, that took up so much of my time that I didn’t have time to work in therapy anymore.

I can honestly say it has been a mammoth 2 years and while I have built a business I have simultaneously had to deconstruct and rebuild myself (Those in business will understand what it takes to keep moving forward)

While that business is still going strong, and while I still give it 100%, I can no longer give it me.

I have a fantastic team around me and they are ready to release me for some time each week to spend more time doing what I need to do to live the life the business was designed to support

So now I have been gifted this time back, and as is typical I have filled it with learning as this gives me purpose, but something has been missing and I haven't quite known what.

I set up my other business to make a difference to the lives of patients, which it does, but I do not see that impact directly, and I unashamedly want to see the difference being made, I thrive on knowing I have helped

I’m now using some of the time to start seeing clients again, because I just miss it. I’m not going to be charging lofty fees as this is not my sole income, I will simply work with 3-4 clients each week, and will stick with a flat fee of £49 a session. I will also be open to recommendation on 1 person each week who needs help but just cant afford it, to whom I will offer their sessions free of charge. (just drop me an email with an explainer and then we will arrange next steps)

I can help with:
Burnout
Depression
Stress
ADHD Coping Skills (I do not offer diagnosis)
Isolated Trauma
Severe phobia

I can help by using:
Talking therapy
Hypnotherapy
EMDR
IEMT (eye movement therapy)
Coaching (Business)
Or by Just being a safe space with a quiet ear….or a combo of all of the above.

Look forward to hearing from you

Really interesting, I assume then that the response of the other senses/instincts must be far quicker to respond to danger, to keep us alive...yet we rely on our brain more...hmm so many questions about responses that are quicker triggering rage, etc... really interesting, thought provoking, work

Are We Living In the Past? New Study Shows Brain Acts Like A Time Machine That Brings Us 15 Seconds Back A new study suggests that people do not see the world in real-time as the brain keeps people seeing what happened 15 seconds ago to create the illusion of stability.

It has been a long while since I posted, I have simply been so very busy.

I have had the pleasure of helping so many people in recent years, alongside offering training to colleagues....alongside my other clinical business, it has been hugely rewarding but I have taken my eye off the habits of self care.....I know, after all that I say about the importance of looking after oneself in order to help others.. 🤦

I ignored the little health messages, I kept saying yes, when I should have said no, and it finally affected my health enough that, this week, I ended up in hospital...

Silly me..

Initially I kept thinking about who I needed to call to rebook, what meetings I needed to rearrange, and heard myself offering appointments within a day or 2.

Madness....I have now realised that, I need to take time to acknowledge my current health situation, I need to take time to heal and recover, and I need to respect this very loud warning....I need to look at the daily habits that haven't supported me in the life that I choose.

While I am incredibly sorry that this means I will be taking 1-2 months away from therapy and training work, and will not be able to see clients in this time, I hope that people understand, that if I do not take my wellness seriously, then I cannot offer the best of myself to others.

I look forward to offering available dates as winter comes to a close

Happy & Healthy New Year to you all

Emma

I have received quite a few requests to return to 'in person' sessions

I have, in the last few weeks agreed to this with one or 2 clients.

So I am now opening 2 more slots on Wednesday afternoons, in person.

Please can you send me a what's app message or give me a call if you would like to secure one of these.

I will still be available online for other clients on Tuesdays.

Please be advised, I am only available on these days due to significant workload throughout the week

Little prompts like this are really useful to help adults and children with ADD/ADHD, to communicate their thought processes, but also to remind themselves why they do what they do.

It's a shame that many girls and women do not realise that they may be living with ADD/ADHD, and that during certain points of the month, they can be hyper sensitive to hormonal changes.... By understanding this, they can release embarrassment, shame, and a belief that they are 'broken'

I will be starting a new podcast season soon, and I will be focusing on women's cyclical issues such as PMDD, PME, menopause alongside ADHD/ADD and how this can impact their cycle.

If you have a story that you would like to share, please get in touch so that we can discuss whether you rake part in a group or individual podcast...I'd love to hear from you x

Hi all.

I know I have mentioned Byron Katie before, and she certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea....

However I find the simplicity of 'the work' to. E so effective in training our brain to shift from one that ruminates to one that finds peace.

She has been doing a few sessions free and here is another.

I am going to be running some workshops soon, based on the work, but I will do ity way, by adapting her work and examining more about why we function the way we do,why we may be addicted to our behaviours, even when they make us unhappy, and how techniques.like the work can help us to train ourselves to simply let go.

In the interim, here is BK
