Diets: The Scary Facts

65% of UK women are overweight or obese.

Emotional Wellbeing & Resilience

Almost 1 in 6 adults in the UK report experiencing anxiety or depression in any given week.
Emotional wellbeing affects every aspect of our lives - from how we manage relationships and work demands, to how we sleep, eat, and take care of our health. Struggling with low mood, anxiety, stress or burnout can leave us feeling overwhelmed, drained, and disconnected from the things that usually bring us joy or purpose.
Emotional difficulties often undermine our confidence, make decision-making harder, and leave us stuck in unhelpful cycles of overthinking, avoidance, or perfectionism. Over time, this can reduce our resilience and our ability to bounce back from life’s inevitable challenges.
But the good news is that emotional wellbeing can be strengthened. Psychological strategies, mindfulness-based approaches, and hypnotherapy can help you manage difficult thoughts and feelings, build healthier coping habits, and feel more calm, capable and in control.

Improving sleep
A third of UK adults are sleep deprived.
Sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and obesity. Poor sleep is also linked to poor mental health and impairs cognitive skills like attention, learning, and memory.
Poor sleep can make it much more difficult to cope with even fairly minor stressors, makes us view the world more negatively, and increases depression and anxiety.
Sleep problems rapidly turn onto a vicious cycle: stress affects our sleep, which makes us deal less well with stress… anxiety disturbs our sleep which makes us more anxious… Low mood stops us sleeping well which lowers our mood.
But the good news is that there are proven strategies for improving sleep and that hypnotherapy is an evidence-based approach to help you sleep better.
Committing to fitness goals
