Autumn Approaches

We are all back from our summer holidays, ready for that busy period through to December and Christmas. The nights are starting to draw in incredibly quickly and autumn is around the corner. How does this affect things from a counselling and hypnotherapy point of view? Holidays can be stressful - particularly if they involve unwanted demand. We automatically assume that chilling by the pool is the panacea, but if you don’t want to be there and you would rather be doing something else - then negative stress responses kick in. Also, extended periods with your loved ones can expose cracks in relationships; more couples seek counselling after summer holidays and Christmas than any other time of the year. If you need help with your relationship either individually or as a couple - our counsellors can help. If stress continues to be an issue even after a break and you are looking down the barrel of yet more unwanted work, call us for stress management - this can be done, again, individually or as a group in a workshop. This can be a stressful time of year, with money worries creating unwanted demands upon you. Counselling can help you focus on what really matters and empowers the client to make choices. I believe that when it comes to stress, choosing to take a certain course is important.

This is also the time of year that spiders, wasps and other creepy crawlies come into the house. If you can’t stand the thought of being in the same room as something that crawls around, scared of looking into the bath - you may be pleased to know that this phobia or irrational fear can easily and straightforwardly be dealt with using hypnotherapy. Those of you wanting to catch some late “Indian Summer” (from North America not India apparently) by catching a plane - but are scared of flying - I have helped quite a number of people to overcome their fear and enjoy a well deserved break.

So for hypnotherapy for phobias or counselling for stress or relationships in Bramhall, Stockport, Cheshire ~ give us a call at Calm Minds.
