Hello and welcome
When you're carrying so much responsibility that your health, energy and enjoyment of life are suffering, it can be hard to see a way forward. But the pressure you're experiencing doesn't have to define who you are or how you live.
At Elizian Days, I look beyond the difficulties you're facing to understand what matters to you, what you'd like to change and how you'd like your life to feel. Together, we explore what's holding you back and find that first glimmer of possibility.
Drawing on clinical hypnotherapy, Hypno-EMDR, Restorative Yoga, mindful breathing, movement and relaxation, I create personalised ways to work with both mind and body. It's about finding the right combination of approaches to help you reset, recharge, build confidence and take positive steps forward.
Whether you're navigating a demanding career, managing anxiety or a particular fear, or working through a health challenge or recovery, my approach is tailored to your individual circumstances. We focus on recognising your strengths, exploring what's possible and finding manageable steps towards the changes you want to make.
Alongside personal and workplace wellbeing programmes, I share practical ideas through my newsletter, social content and free resources to help you pause, reset and recharge, making more space for the things you enjoy, at work and at home.
FAQ
How can I manage work-related stress? When the pressure at work starts affecting your sleep, energy, health or enjoyment of life, it's important to find ways to take care of yourself. Working life in today's corporate world can be tough. A little pressure can sharpen your focus, help you perform at your best and meet deadlines. But when that pressure becomes sustained, it can start affecting your productivity and wellbeing. You might also find yourself in an unsustainable pattern of working, with your boss and colleagues continuing to add to your workload precisely because you're so efficient. Managing work-related stress means making sure your workload is reasonable, creating wellbeing strategies that work for you and building your own toolkit of ways to unwind. That might mean taking microbreaks during the working day or finding ways to switch off and make the most of your evenings and weekends. At Elizian Days, I combine clinical hypnotherapy, mindful breathing, relaxation and movement to help you find practical, personalised ways to stress less, breathe more and feel more like yourself again.
How can I stop thinking about work when I'm trying to switch off? Do you find yourself replaying conversations, worrying about tomorrow or mentally working through your to-do list long after you've finished for the day? Sometimes, trying harder to stop thinking only keeps your attention on those thoughts. Instead, try changing what you're doing. Step away from your desk, take a walk, slow your breathing or take a few minutes to pause. Working with the body as well as the mind can help you settle and create some distance from persistent thoughts. Hypnotherapy sessions and relaxation techniques can be tailored to help you develop ways to put work to rest at the end of the day and focus your free time on the things you love.
Why am I exhausted but can't sleep? It's frustrating to feel completely exhausted, only to find your mind becoming busy the moment your head hits the pillow. Stress, worry and the pressure to fall asleep can all contribute to difficulty settling at night, although sleep problems can have many causes. Rather than forcing yourself to sleep, it may help to focus on allowing yourself to rest. Gentle breathing, relaxation and self-hypnosis can help you create a calmer bedtime routine. Elizian Days offers personalised support for better sleep and deep rest. If your sleep difficulties are persistent, it's important to speak to your GP to explore possible underlying causes.
Can hypnotherapy help with stress and anxiety? Hypnotherapy may help some people manage stress and anxiety by encouraging relaxation, exploring unhelpful patterns of thinking and developing different responses to challenging situations. At Elizian Days, I use clinical hypnotherapy alongside other mind-body techniques where appropriate, tailoring sessions to your individual needs and goals. Whether you're finding it difficult to switch off, feel that anxiety is controlling your life, or have a particular fear or phobia that's limiting what you can do, we can explore whether hypnotherapy is suitable for you. Hypnotherapy isn't a replacement for medical or psychological care where that is needed.
Can hypnotherapy help with fears, phobias and unwanted habits? Fears, phobias and unwanted habits can affect your confidence, wellbeing and the choices you make in everyday life. Clinical hypnotherapy may help you explore and change some of the thoughts, feelings and learned responses associated with these difficulties. At Elizian Days, I work with people experiencing fears such as flying, heights, public transport and spiders, as well as those who want support to stop smoking or vaping. We'll explore what you would like to change and whether hypnotherapy is an appropriate approach for you.
What makes the Elizian Days approach different? At Elizian Days, I believe there's more to you than the difficulties you're experiencing. Even when life feels challenging, you may have more strengths and resources within you than you realise. My approach is to listen, understand what you're experiencing and explore what you would like to change. Rather than focusing solely on the problem, we'll also look at how you would like life to be and the small, positive steps that can help you move towards it. I draw on clinical hypnotherapy, Hypno-EMDR, Restorative Yoga, mindful breathing and movement, choosing techniques that suit your individual needs. We'll review your progress together and adapt our approach as necessary. My work is shaped by professional training and my own experience of navigating significant life challenges. I understand how difficult it can be when you can't see a way forward, and how much difference finding that first glimmer of possibility can make. It's about helping you stress less, breathe more and find your shine again.
Do you offer online and in-person sessions? Yes. I offer online hypnotherapy sessions across the UK, as well as in-person appointments in Kensington, Wimbledon, Central London and the Dedham Vale and Colchester area of North Essex. We can discuss which format is most suitable for your needs and the type of support you're looking for.
What happens when I first get in touch? You don't need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before contacting me. I offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory consultation by telephone or Zoom. It's an opportunity to talk about what you're experiencing, what you would like to change, explore the options available and ask any questions you may have. We can also see whether we would be a good fit to work together. Following our conversation, I'll send you a short, personalised proposal outlining the approach I would recommend for your individual needs and goals.
