Balanced GroupWork

We offer hypnotherapy-based groups and workshops with two specific focuses. You will be able to harness the power of hypnotherapy, bring the control back to you, and build on this new found wisdom applying this to all other areas of your life.

Balancing Birth - One area I focus on is hypno-birthing. Supporting pregnant women and their birth partners as they experience this unique time. We focus on reducing anxiety and the worry around pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. You will receive an excellent foundation of hypno-birthing where you will learn how to use hypnosis to manage the anxiety, pain and also learn coping strategies with all that birth entails. Over 2 days you and your birthing partner will learn about the stages of labour and birth, how to manage the birthing process and coping mechanisms for labour and birth. You will receive a number of MP3's to use over throughout pregnancy and birth and beyond, helping to keep those calming strategies in place. You will also be taught fundamental breathing skills and receive a book on said breathing skills. This will all be backed up from the knowledge and experience I have gathered from my 20 years as a midwife. 

BOOKING FOR MARCH - 1st and 8th 9.30am - 11.30am.

Balancing Babies - A key focus and deep passion of mine lies in supporting and preparing women for the weeks and months after birth. This period can often be bewildering, filled with ups and downs, and at times can feel quite isolating. The effects of labour and birth significantly influence the postnatal period. If you want to feel empowered, supported, and forge new friendships while learning practical self-help techniques to manage stress, fatigue, and loneliness, then this is the perfect opportunity for you! My goal is to reduce the risk of postnatal depression, to reduce anxiety, and to empower women and their partners by creating a welcoming and light-hearted environment where you can relax, be listened to in a judgment-free space, and support one another. Using the foundation of hypnotherapy, you will have 5 weeks of sessions within a small group of pregnant couples, learning about childbirth and self-hypnosis, how the brain and body work together, while benefitting from the consistency of hypnotherapy helping you to find your inner strength and to have control over this all important time. Having been a specialist perinatal mental health midwife and working with women suffering from poor mental health, also as a mother, I know only too well the impact that pregnancy and birth can bring and how long it can impact our lives. You will receive all from the hypno-birthing course and so much more.

Balancing Hormones - Another area I work with is empowering women around the hormonal aspects of our lives. Often this is aimed at menopause, but women can experience hormonal imbalances at anytime during their reproductive lives. These sessions concentrate on supporting, empowering and bringing women together from all aspects of womanhood, to share experiences and knowledge, and to enjoy the sense of confidence and motivation within. You will experience relaxations to bring calm to the mind and rest to the body. There will on occasion be other guests contributing their expertise and experience to support confidence and overall health and wellbeing during these times. 2-3 hour sessions.

These groups are designed to bring people together and to support one another in a compassionate and judgment free environment. You will join new friends in groups of weekly or monthly sessions, each of 90-120 minutes duration. All the sessions offer practical advice and takeaway actions that you can use for yourself at any time.

Fear of flying & Anxieties: After having a difficult year I decided to try hypnotherapy with Penny and it was the best choice I have made for myself! I'm now able to live more in the moment and have a better understanding of how to cope with or even eliminate my anxieties. I also had 2 sessions dedicated to helping to reduce my phobia of flying which helped me tremendously as I was able to get on a plane again without feeling terrified! Pen is always very positive and relaxed during our sessions and always makes me feel comfortable.

Anxiety/Stress: I went to see Penny as I felt stuck, struggling to cope & unable to move on in life. I had 12 sessions.  I had never really done hypnosis before & really struggled to focus on the words as my mind raced everywhere. Penny reassured me it would still work - which it did. It took a couple of weeks to kick in but I really appreciated the time taken to focus on the issues & Penny's positive attitude really filtered through. Slowly my positivity increased, the overthinking eased off & my sleep improved. This allowed me to problem-solve & plan more changes to make. It was like moving a large rock - once we got it moving progress started to happen & towards the last few sessions things started to speed up. I would recommend Penny to anyone who feels overwhelmed or near a crisis point.

Pain: I had 12 hypnotherapy sessions with Penny. The hypnosis was relaxing & reviving and seemed to link with my subconscious & bring me back to positive feelings. I still use the audio which acts as a kick-start if doubts start seeping in. I also found Penny's voice calming & reassuring. I have no reservations in recommending Penny. I liked her honesty in what the therapy could offer. I have been very happy with the outcome of the hypnotherapy.

Stop Smoking: Both myself and my husband decided it was time to stop smoking. My husband had smoked 20+ a day for 35 years and I had also smoked on and off for years. We can both honestly say we have never felt better thanks to Penny, she made us feel comfortable and was very reassuring, after just one appointment we were smoke-free.  We are now looking forward to extra holidays with the money we have saved and also stress free knowing we can travel and not worry about going without a cigarette.

Stress Buster/Body Image: Pen has helped me massively increase my resilience to stress. Tasks which seemed ongoing and impossible became doable. While work may still be stressful, the speed with which I bounce back is great and has allowed me to put in boundaries, both personal and professional. It has increased my self-confidence and assertiveness and has improved my sleep patterns so much. Penny has also taken me through several weight-loss sessions from which I am feeling the benefits and feel now that I am in the right place to start an exercise regimen and take control of my fitness.

Sleep Issues: I was slightly sceptical over hypnotherapy, probably because I was frightened of being made to do something I didn't want to. But my sleeping was all over the place and I'm a constant worrier, so thought I'd give it a go - I am so pleased with how relaxed I felt and how my sleeping has improved. I feel much calmer now and can rationalise things better than before. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with for a variety of problems or habits, and Pen's voice is greatly comforting when I listen to the recording when going to sleep. I know I can come for a top-up whenever I need to.

Public Speaking: I wanted to try hypnotherapy in order to deal with the anxiety I experience before speaking in public. My sessions with Pen have helped me reduce this in such a short amount of time it is really unbelievable how effective they’ve been. I now feel calm and focused and those waves of panic that tripped me up before talking in public have entirely gone away. I can’t stress enough how effective these sessions with Pen have been. She is calm and an intuitive listener who instantly puts you at ease. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending her sessions to anyone.

I would highly recommend Penny for helping and supporting anyone suffering with anxiety. My son Louie was suffering from panic attacks and it was heartbreaking watching him missing out on having fun with his friends because of a general fear something was going to happen. Penny was recommended to us by a friend who’s daughter was suffering from anxiety and was attending sessions with Penny to tackle this and couldn’t talk highly enough of her. So we thought it must be worth a try. Louie started having sessions with Penny and the difference was amazing, he started being more confident and less panicky and slowly started getting back to his usual happy go lucky self, which was a joy to see. I’m sure anyone who has a child, family member or friend that suffers from this realises how stressful this situation can be on a day to day basis. So get in touch with Penny, it could change your life.

From Katie's mum: "Pen, thinking just how bad she was and how far she has come! I have no doubt in my mind that if anyone else’s child is suffering then you are the person to help! We are so thankful".

Hypnotherapy.... The final piece of the puzzle that completed and transformed my life. Amazing!

I had hypnotherapy to help me with my anxiety and depression and honestly, it changed my life for the better. I was in a place where I thought there was no escape from these feelings. However, hypnotherapy turned things around for me greatly. My OCD has also died down massively and it has also helped me through the very rough time at school. I'm extremely grateful for Pen's clear and kind understanding and I strongly recommend this to anyone who is having these similar feelings as well, as it will change your life for the better.
