Sharper Focus, Calmer Nerves, Better Results When it comes to performance, talent and training matter—but so do your thoughts. Nerves, doubt, overthinking, and fear of failure can derail even the best preparation. Hypnotherapy helps athletes quiet the noise, build laser-like focus, and access the calm, confident state where their skills show up reliably under pressure. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, returning from a wobble in form, or just want to feel steadier on competition day, hypnotherapy can give you practical mental tools to perform at your best. What is hypnotherapy (and what isn’t it)? Hypnotherapy is a guided, deeply relaxed [...]

Fear of Needles (Trypanophobia):

Jessica 2025-10-03T13:08:17+00:00

Why It happens—and how hypnotherapy can help many people, needles aren’t just “a bit unpleasant.” They trigger a full-body alarm: racing heart, sweaty palms, dizziness, nausea, tears—or a complete shutdown. If that’s you, you are not alone. Around 10–20% of adults report significant fear of injections or blood tests, and for some it stops vital healthcare in its tracks. Good news: needle phobia is highly treatable. Hypnotherapy can help you update the fear response quickly and gently, so you can attend appointments calmly, make informed choices about your health, and get on with life. What needle phobia actually is: A learned, protective [...]

Dentistry

If you have a fear of dentists or needles then here is my story about how I went from fear to relaxation. Now: I have had crowns completed and lots of dentist work done without so much as flinching, in fact I find it all rather calming, here is my story. Once upon a time.... From childhood and having a horrendous dentist, think brown rotten teeth and not listening to me when i tried to communicate that what they did was painful to being an adult and taking my business card to a dentist appointment because I'd be shaking [...]

Animal therapy

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:32+00:00

Animal Assisted therapy within My Exceptional setting involves therapy but with an animal present in the room that is used to add to the calm, safe atmosphere. Our animals are trained to stay calm and relaxed, to bring balance and a sense of security to the room to aid the person in their recovery. It is suitable for people who are comfortable with an animal presence and would benefit from having a positive animal energy. They can either be in the room, or available for reassuring cuddles. It is in addition to the therapy session and over time we plan [...]

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction: Let’s Talk About It Erectile dysfunction (ED) is far more common than most people realise — yet it’s something many men suffer from in silence. Because it’s rarely spoken about, ED can leave men feeling isolated, embarrassed, or even ashamed. But here’s the truth: you’re not alone, and it’s absolutely something you can get help with. Why ED Happens ED can be caused by many different things — sometimes physical, sometimes emotional, sometimes a bit of both. Physical factors might include: Circulation problems or high blood pressure Side effects of medication Hormone changes Lifestyle habits like smoking, drinking, [...]

7 Practical ways to help your child or teenager to cope with stress

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:32+00:00

Make sleep a priority Teenagers need a minimum of 8 hours up to about 10 hrs a night, with most research favouring over 9 hours. This is critical to their ability to cope, learn and manage stress. Sleep helps with weight management, stress and anxiety, ability to cope, ability to learn, ability to concentrate. Don’t laugh as there are ways to get your kids to agree to this, but electronics in bedrooms has a negative impact on sleep cycles. There is no research that I can find anywhere that says ‘watching tv or playing Xbox or watching you tube videos’ [...]

Health is a relationship between you and your body Terri Guillemets Fears and Phobias Fears and phobias have a similar physiological response to stress and anxiety, except they are stimuli-specific. NLP, EFT, CBT and especially hypnotherapy have fantastic results with treatment of fears and I'm currently running at a 100% success rate. Below is an example of the fears that are treated, call me to discuss. Crophobia: Fear of heights Aerophobia: Fear of flying Amaxophobia: Fear of driving Aquaphobia: Fear of water Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders Astraphobia: Fear of [...]

Stress and anxiety

Health is a relationship between you and your body Terri Guillemets Stress and anxiety Stress and anxiety are perfectly normal, healthy states to be in occasionally, especially when you are in real danger. The problem arises when you enter this state even when you are not in danger, but your body and brain perceive the danger as real and so put your into this highly unpleasant state that has nowhere to be released and can cause damage to your mental and physical health. Suffering with [...]

Depression, Stress, Anxiety, Insomnia

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:32+00:00

Yep, I got the t-shirt for all of these in my teenage years. Yet I was excellent at hiding them and putting on a mask, a front. I don’t think any of my friends would know that I was too scared to order a takeaway, I was too scared to go to a new exercise class by myself, I turned down many a social invite for fears, all those what if’s floating around my head that I couldn’t control and would run away with my confidence. Using various techniques, I work with people and their fears, anxieties, worries, negative thoughts [...]

Smoking

Jessica 2020-01-31T13:51:33+00:00

As an ex-smoker, 6 attempts where I think I tried everything, every time I stopped smoking I was so jealous of smokers and all I could think about was smoking again, and start smoking again I did. Ultimately it was my mindset that truly changed. On my final attempt I had something significant to move away from and something really great to move towards. I no longer felt jealous of smokers, instead I felt pity that they didn’t have the freedom that I had found. Freedom from smoking is a package of several sessions and by the end you will [...]
