Hypnotherapy, Counselling in Psychotherapy and well-being support for individuals privately and in the workplace. Hi, I'm Sarah. Best wishes,
Sarah

I'm a qualified hypnotherapist and a Well-being Support Worker. I'm here to help people work through their worries using hypnotherapy or providing wellbeing support. Whether you're facing tough times or want to make positive changes in your life, hypnotherapy can help with many different things. I have 20 years of experience as a family support worker, helping children and families improve their well-being. I believe that feeling good in life is important for everything—from your health and relationships to your job and home life. When one of these areas is out of balance, it can affect your peace of mind. This is why I wish to continue you using my skills and knowledge, to continue supporting people in the workplace with their well-being worries or experiences. In my previous job, I offered advice, listened with care, and built trusted relationships so people could open up about their concerns. If I couldn't provide the exact help they needed, I would guide them to the right services and support, like making referrals or going to appointments. I'm passionate about helping others reach their goals, grow, and feel positive. I’m here to support you on your journey towards feeling better and achieving success. I love meeting new people, listening to their stories, and offering help wherever I can. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, being outdoors, listening to music, and spending time with my family and friends. I hope I can be the right person to support you through hypnotherapy and/or well-being services. Feel free to explore my website or my Facebook business page and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

🌿 Sometimes, the best thing we can do for our wellbeing is switch off.

Last week, I took some much-needed time away from work and enjoyed a holiday break with my children. Time to slow down, step away from the usual routine, make memories, have some fun and most importantly, recharge.

It reminded me of something I often talk about when supporting others with their wellbeing: the importance of boundaries.

In a world where we're constantly connected, it can be difficult to switch off. Emails, messages, work commitments and that little voice in our heads reminding us of everything we still need to do can easily follow us into our time off.

But having time away from work means just that – having time away.

It's important to allow ourselves permission to: 💚 Switch off notifications and resist checking emails. 💚 Set boundaries around our working hours and personal time. 💚 Spend quality time with the people who matter. 💚 Make memories and enjoy experiences without feeling guilty. 💚 Rest, recharge and do things that bring us happiness. 💚 Return feeling refreshed rather than running on empty.

And this isn't just about taking holidays. It's about recognising that our wellbeing needs looking after throughout the year.

Whether you're employed, self-employed, running a business, juggling family life alongside work or a stay at home parent, it's easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list.

But rest isn't a reward for working hard enough. It's something we all need.

Taking time away doesn't mean we're less committed, less productive or less passionate about what we do. In fact, sometimes stepping back allows us to return with a clearer head, renewed energy and a fresh perspective.

My little reminder to myself, and perhaps to anyone who needs to hear it too:

You don't have to be available all the time. You are allowed to switch off. You are allowed to enjoy your time. And you are allowed to put yourself first.

Because life isn't just about what we achieve at work. It's also about the memories we make, the people we share them with and the moments we give ourselves permission to enjoy. ❤️

Now, back to work, feeling refreshed and ready for what's next!

Have you ever been told, “You’re so strong”?

I have, and it got me thinking. 💭

When someone tells us we're strong, it's usually meant as a compliment. They see how we've navigated difficult times, picked ourselves up, kept going and continued to show up for the people around us.

But sometimes, I wonder… did we really have a choice?

Sometimes, life throws things at us that we never expected, and we find ourselves navigating situations we didn't choose and never asked for. We adapt, we cope, we find a way forward, and we do what we feel we need to do to get through.

From the outside, that might look like strength. But on the inside, it can feel exhausting.

And sometimes, being described as strong can bring an unspoken expectation that we will always be okay. That we can handle anything, that we don't need help, or that we will simply find a way through, as we always have.

But what if we're tired of being strong? What if we need someone to check in on us, to listen without trying to fix everything, or to remind us that we don't have to carry everything alone?

Strength doesn't mean we're not struggling. Resilience doesn't mean we're not hurting. And coping doesn't always mean we're okay. Sometimes, strength is making a different choice, even when the unhealthy option feels more familiar. Sometimes, it's setting boundaries, asking for help, admitting we're struggling, or allowing ourselves to feel what we've been trying so hard to manage, and sometimes, strength is simply getting through the day.

This is something I feel is so important, both personally and through my work in wellbeing. We can become so focused on how others are coping that we forget to look beyond what we see on the surface.

So, let's not assume that the person who always seems strong doesn't need support. Let's check in, make space for honest conversations, listen without judgement and remind one another that vulnerability isn't a weakness.

If you're someone who is always holding things together for everyone else, please remember that you deserve the same care, compassion and understanding that you give to others. ❤️

To those who have listened, checked in, offered a safe space or simply reminded someone that they're not alone, never underestimate the difference you can make.

We may not always choose the challenges life brings us, but we can learn to make choices that support our wellbeing, one step at a time.

💬 What does being strong mean to you? And do you think we sometimes expect too much of ourselves and each other when it comes to strength?

Well, it's been a little while! 👋I think my last Facebook post was around 6–8 weeks ago, and honestly, it's not because I've had nothing to say… It's because I've been so busy getting back into the swing of things! 😂

Sometimes, social media takes a back seat, and life and work take the lead. And that's exactly what's been happening at C.P.G. Therapy and Wellbeing Support.

It's been a really positive, busy few weeks, and I'm incredibly grateful for how things are growing. 💚

✨ Welcoming lots of new clients into C.P.G.

🤝 Networking with some genuinely amazing people and making new connections.

🎤 Delivering presentations and sharing the importance of wellbeing.

🏢 Attending staff days and having conversations about how we can better support people in the workplace.

💚 And, most importantly, doing the job I absolutely love.

Whether it's supporting someone through personal challenges or working with businesses to help their teams feel heard, valued, and supported, I'm constantly reminded why I started C.P.G. in the first place.

Wellbeing is so much more than just mental health. It's about people, relationships, work, family, confidence, and everything else life throws our way. Being able to support people in different ways, and seeing C.P.G. continue to grow, means so much to me.

Running your own business certainly keeps you on your toes, and there are never quite enough hours in the day! But I wouldn't change the journey I'm on. 🥰So, if you've been wondering where I've been… I'm still here! Just busy doing what I love, building connections and continuing to grow C.P.G.

Here's to the next chapter, the opportunities ahead, and the amazing people I get to meet along the way. 💚

What have you been busy working on lately? I would love to hear what everyone else has been up to!

You may have noticed that I've been a little quieter on social media over the school holidays… 💭

And honestly, that's been intentional. ❤️

When my children are off school, my priorities change.

My children come first.
My own wellbeing matters too.
And my clients and the businesses I support will always be a priority.

Social media?

That's the thing that can wait.

Running your own business can sometimes come with the feeling that you should always be doing something…

📱 Posting
💻 Creating content
🤝 Networking
📣 Promoting your business
✨ Staying visible

But sometimes, life needs your attention more.

For me, the school holidays are about spending time with my children, enjoying family time, slowing down a little and making sure I'm looking after my own wellbeing too.

And I've learnt that stepping away from social media doesn't mean I've stepped away from my business.

It simply means I've recognised what needs my attention most at that particular time.

And isn't that what wellbeing is partly about?
Recognising what you need and giving yourself permission to prioritise it.

We don't have to do everything.

We don't have to be constantly productive.

And we don't have to feel guilty for taking a step back.

So, if you've noticed C.P.G. has been a little quieter over the holidays…That's why. ❤️

The children are now back at school, and I'm looking forward to getting back into work, supporting my clients, working alongside the businesses I support and sharing more of what C.P.G. Therapy and Wellbeing Support has to offer.

Because sometimes, the healthiest thing we can do for our wellbeing is simply say:

"This can wait."

What is something you've allowed yourself to put down or step away from when life has needed your attention elsewhere?

I'd love to hear from you. 💬

Well... if you've been trying to get hold of me this week and wondered why I sound like I've swallowed a squeaky toy... now you know! 🙈 I can sympathize with Harry Kane after the Mexico Match🤣

I may have got slightly carried away celebrating England's match on Saturday night. Apparently, cheering at full volume for 90+ minutes isn't the best vocal care plan. Who knew? ⚽😂

The irony isn't lost on me that, as a hypnotherapist, my voice is one of my most important tools. This week has reminded me just how much I rely on it to help people relax, feel safe, and guide them through positive change. Not having my voice at full strength has been frustrating and has meant I haven't been able to show up quite as I'd like.

It also got me thinking about something much deeper.

There are so many times in life when we feel as though we've lost our voice. Not physically, but emotionally.

Maybe you've experienced abuse and felt too afraid to speak.

Maybe someone else has always made decisions for you, leaving you feeling unheard.

Perhaps at work your ideas are constantly overlooked, or at school you learned that staying quiet felt safer than speaking up.

Sometimes it's family dynamics. Sometimes it's relationships. Sometimes it's simply feeling that no one is really listening.

Over time, we can begin to believe our voice doesn't matter.

But it does.

Your thoughts matter.
Your feelings matter.
Your experiences matter.
And your voice deserves to be heard.

One of the most powerful parts of counselling and therapy is having a space where you don't have to fight to be listened to. A space where you can explore your thoughts without judgement, rebuild confidence, and begin to trust your own voice again.

So, while I'm patiently waiting for mine to return (and promising to celebrate England a little more quietly next time... maybe! 😅), I'd love to hear from you.

What helps you feel heard?

Is it talking to a trusted friend? Journalling? Therapy? Setting boundaries? Finding the courage to say "no"? Or something else entirely?

Let's share ideas. You never know who might need to read them today. 💙

Last night, I finally made it back to my networking group after missing quite a few meetings because of work commitments.

I'll admit, I wondered what it would feel like walking back into the room after being away for so long, but I really didn't need to worry. I was greeted by so many familiar faces, and there wasn't a hint of judgement that I'd been absent. It was just lovely to catch up, have some great conversations, and meet some new people too.

What I love most about this group is how welcoming and relaxed everyone is. Whether it's your first visit or your first one in months, you're made to feel like you belong.

Being self-employed can sometimes feel a little lonely, which is why communities like this are so important. Having people around you who genuinely support and encourage each other makes such a difference, and it really feels like being part of a team.

If you've been thinking about giving networking a try, I'd definitely recommend coming along. And if the thought of walking into a room on your own feels a bit daunting, just drop me a message. I'd be more than happy to go with you and introduce you to everyone. 😊

I've been reflecting on last week, and it reminded me just how often life asks us to hold mixed emotions at the same time.

As a mum, we celebrated my son qualifying as a Level 3 Engineer after finishing college—a huge achievement that I'm incredibly proud of. At the same time, we handed back his heart monitor and began the wait for answers.

It struck me that life doesn't always separate the joyful moments from the difficult ones.

We can feel proud and worried.
Hopeful and uncertain.
Grateful and overwhelmed.

As a therapist, I often hear people say they feel guilty for enjoying the good moments when something else is weighing on their mind. Others tell me they think they should be coping because there are positive things happening in their lives.

But emotions aren't a competition, and they don't cancel each other out. We can carry more than one feeling at a time, and every emotion deserves space to be acknowledged.

Sometimes, simply having a safe place to talk can help us make sense of those conflicting emotions, rather than feeling we have to push one aside.

So, if you're finding yourself holding both joy and uncertainty at the moment, know that you're not alone. Both can exist together, and it's okay to make space for each of them. 💙

One of the biggest misconceptions about workplace wellbeing is that it's only needed when someone is struggling.

In reality, the most effective organisations don't wait for burnout before investing in support.

They create opportunities for employees to:
✔ Reflect before stress builds.
✔ Develop resilience during periods of change.
✔ Improve confidence and communication.
✔ Feel supported rather than judged.
✔ Access help early, not only in crisis.

Therapy and wellbeing support aren't simply about "fixing problems". They're about helping people perform at their best whilst protecting their mental health.

When people know they have somewhere confidential to talk, they're often better equipped to navigate both professional and personal challenges.

Supporting wellbeing isn't just good for employees—it's good for culture, retention and long-term performance.

Sometimes the best investment is giving people permission to pause before they reach breaking point.

✨ I have a few therapy slots becoming available over the coming weeks. ✨

If you've been thinking about starting therapy but haven't quite taken the first step, this could be a good opportunity to explore whether it's right for you.

I offer a free initial consultation, giving you the chance to ask questions, share any worries, and see if we feel like a good fit—without any pressure or obligation.

You might be wondering:
• "Will I know what to say?"
• "What if my problems don't feel 'big enough'?"
• "Will I be judged?"
• "Can I actually afford therapy?"
• "What if it doesn't help?"

These are all very common concerns, and having an initial conversation can often help ease some of those worries. It's a chance to talk through what you're looking for, find out how I work, and decide whether therapy feels right for you.

Sessions can also be tailored to suit your needs and circumstances. While some people prefer weekly sessions, others find that fortnightly or monthly appointments work better, whether that's for practical, financial, or personal reasons. Therapy doesn't have to fit one set pattern.

And therapy isn't only for times of crisis. You don't need to be struggling with a specific issue to benefit. Many people use therapy as a space for reflection, personal growth, improving relationships, building confidence, or simply taking time to understand themselves better.

If you've been considering therapy, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message to arrange a free consultation or ask any questions you may have. There is absolutely no obligation—just an opportunity to explore what support might look like for you.

A little personal win this week! 💪

I've recently joined a local gym Curves Ilkeston that works around my busy work schedule and family life, and I'm so glad I took the plunge.

As a therapist, I spend a lot of time encouraging people to look after their mental health and physical well-being, and to stay connected with others. It felt important that I follow my own advice too.

The exercise has been great for my physical health, but what I've really enjoyed is the social side of it. It's nice to get out, meet new people, have a laugh, and be part of a supportive community. Those connections can make such a difference to our overall wellbeing.

And yes, even in the 30°C+ heat this week, I still showed up for my workout and earned this sticker! 🌞🏅

A good reminder that looking after ourselves doesn't have to be complicated—it just has to be something we can realistically fit into our lives and stick with.
