## Posts
- [Hypnosis Can Help You to Lessen Your Stress](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/lessen-your-stress/): Stress is a constant presence in our lives, often lurking beneath the surface without us even realising its full impact. It has become such a normal state for many that we fail to recognise when we are carrying excessive stress until it starts to take its toll.
- [Why Gastric Band Hypnosis Is So Successful](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/why-gastric-band-hypnosis-is-so-successful/): The Reason Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Solutions Are So Successful
- [Economic Recovery: A Healthy Outlook for a Better Future](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/economic-recovery-for-a-better-future/): Despite the Prime Minister’s prescriptions for economic recovery, 2023 is predicted to be a year of inflation and recession.  Like long covid, the symptoms of the ailing financial crisis are going to be prolonged and nasty.
- [Parenting anxious children](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/parenting-anxious-children/): ‘We’re only as happy as our unhappiest child’  is a refrain that rings true for many parents desperately seeking help for their beleaguered offspring.  More to the point, ‘Anxious children make parents anxious’. And the reverse is also true. A parent's anxiety can have an impact on his or her child.
- [Wedding Bells or Divorce Hell?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/wedding-bells-or-divorce-hell/): There are no reliable statistics yet to back this up but I speculate that, for as many couples who have had to delay saying ‘I do’ because of lockdowns and coronavirus restrictions, there are just as many married couples saying ‘I don’t’ and heading for the divorce courts.
- [Using hypnotherapy to quit smoking](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/using-hypnotherapy-to-quit-smoking/): In spite of knowing the risks, many smokers find it difficult to quit smoking. They frequently try many times, yet are consistently unable to give it up long term. Individuals smoke for a variety of reasons - perceived stress relief, the feeling of boredom, as a social thing or simply out of sheer routine. Whatever the reason, stopping can prove virtually impossible for many.
- [Stuck in a Rut?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/stuck-in-a-rut-boredom/): February can be a particularly gloomy month.  Grotty weather and dark days make it easy to slip into the habit of inertia that’s hard to break.  The perception that doing nothing is relaxing is flawed.  Whilst we all need downtime, too much of it can be bad for both our mental and physical health, thus making us feel like we're stuck in a rut.
- [Overweight Truths – Muffins anyone?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/overweight-truths-muffins-anyone/): All calories are not equal.   There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to controlling weight.  Fat doesn’t make you fat.  Stress and sleep deprivation do make you store fat.  Willpower doesn’t work.  Overweight people are not greedy, lazy or stupid.   There’s no such thing as naughty food.  Diets don’t work.  Exercise doesn’t make you thin.
- [Good Grief](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/good-grief/): In her wisdom, she described how ‘grief is the price we pay for love’.  Indeed, the only way to avoid grief is to avoid love.  Not a healthy strategy for a happy life.  Many will still be grappling with their losses as the impact of covid wanes.  Its consequences for those left behind are profound and far-reaching.  
- [Tell Me Sweet Little Lies](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/tell-me-sweet-little-lies/): Who doesn’t tell the odd whoppa now and again?  It’s not just politicians who are economical with the truth.  We’re all prone to telling the occasional fib although it’s generally accepted that honesty is the best policy and lies are a bad thing.
- [Lifestyle Changes with Hypnotherapy](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/lifestyle-changes-with-hypnotherapy/): It's possible to change your life whatever time of year it is with the help of Tunbridge Wells hypnotherapist Karen Martin who can help guide you towards making lasting improvements in your quality of life.
- [Sun, Sea and….Holiday Stress!](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/sun-sea-and-holiday-stress/): If you haven’t had a ‘proper’ holiday since 2019, you may be joining the rush for sunnier climes and a well-deserved break this Summer.  There’s been little respite from the gloomy outlook of the last couple of years and a decent holiday is just the antidote.  Or is it? Holiday stress is caused by the expense and high expectations.
- [How hypnotherapy could help a lack of confidence](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/help-a-lack-of-confidence/): So many aspects of our lives are affected by a lack of confidence. It has an effect on how we contend with talking in public or even just how we talk to a friend one on one. We need this skill to allow us to take opportunities we may otherwise ignore.
- [Anxiety Rings, Bangles and Bows](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/anxiety-rings-bangles-and-bows/): I see a lot of stressed people in my hypnotherapy practice.  The first session can be nerve-wracking for those who don’t know what to expect.  And so, when they sit down, sitting still isn’t an option.  Hair twiddling, toe-tapping, knee jiggling and hand wringing are all signs of the body releasing tension through repetitive movement.  If they had anxiety rings or a necklace to fiddle with, they’d find it much easier to walk into the unknown.
- [Tame your Temper](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/tame-your-anger/): Have you noticed there is a lot of anger these days?  Social media is awash with angry rants about anything and everything.  And nobody could accuse our news feeds of sending out positive vibes in the daily misery bulletins about conflict around the world.
- [Drama and Crisis – Anticipating Fear](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/drama-and-crisis-anticipating-fear/): ‘Anxious dread’ is how a radio report from the Ukranian frontline described the mood in a city under fire.  Whilst most of us are fortunate to have no experience of living in a war zone, we all have that anticipatory fear at times, but we all spend some time anticipating fear.
- [The Winning Team – What Is Success](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/success-for-the-winning-team/): The mark of success is to be on a winning team.  We celebrate collective achievements in sport, business and politics.  When England’s lionesses brought home the EUFA cup, they became national heroes and temporarily lifted us out of the gloom of impending recession and depressing global news.
- [Rise of the Entrepreneur](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/rise-of-the-entrepreneur/): Successful entrepreneurs understand themselves well enough to know their strengths, surround themselves with good people with complementary skills, do enough research to take calculated risks and are determined, tenacious and resilient.  It also helps if they have a passion for their product or service.
- [7 Simple Ways of Restoring Harmony and Balance in Relationships](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/7-simple-ways-of-restoring-harmony-and-balance-in-your-relationship/): Relationships work when you're singing to the same tune and dancing in step with each other.
- [Happy Christmas To Me! – Build Self Esteem](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/happy-christmas-to-me-build-self-esteem/): One of the joys of the festive season is choosing carefully curated gifts for those we love.  However, people-pleasing sufferers of low self esteem can go to extremes of generosity and care.  Those who don’t value themselves look for ‘other esteem’ by meeting the needs of others and disregarding their own.
- [A Nation of Losers – Lose Weight with Hypnotherapy](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/a-nation-of-losers/): Kent based specialist Karen Martin explains how she helps failing dieters to lose weight with hypnotherapy by changing thoughts, feelings and eating habits.
- [Reasons to be Cheerful](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/reasons-to-be-cheerful/): Gratitude literally changes your mind by directing attention towards the health and wellbeing you already have.  This makes it easier to improve every aspect of the quality of your life by maintaining what’s already good about it and aspiring to achieve more of the same.
- [Friend or Foe](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/social-isolation/): Given that absence makes the heart grow fonder, now is a good time to show appreciation to true friends.  Investing time and effort in maintaining these friendships pays dividends in the joy of knowing you can trust someone who appreciates your friendship as much as you do theirs.
- [Manifestive spirit](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/manifestive-spirit/): Lockdown blues have inspired a revival of the manifestation movement.  This self help method of tapping into the power of positive thinking found popularity with publishing sensation ‘The Secret’ more than a decade ago.
- [Back to work](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/back-to-work/): Now the wheels of commerce and industry have started turning again, there will be many offices, factories, shops, restaurants and bars where the doors will stay shut and the lights out.  The social and economic landscape has changed in a way that affects us all and we’re only now starting to emerge blinking into a post Covid world.
- [A healthy outlook for a better future](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/a-healthy-outlook-for-a-better-future/): Despite the Chancellor’s prescriptions for economic recovery, unemployment is estimated to hit 12 per cent or four million by the end of 2020 and more than a million job losses are predicted by the middle of next year.  Like long covid, the symptoms of the ailing financial crisis are going to be prolonged and nasty.
- [Piling on the Pounds During Lockdown](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/weight-loss/): Hypnotherapy creates subconscious changes in motivation, improving impulse control and focusing on the delayed gratification of achieving a healthy, lean fit body whilst sorting out the mindless tendency we all have to be sabotaged by our emotions.
- [The S Word](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/the-s-word/): In the long dark hours of a Spring night, a 17 year old boy takes his own life in a Tunbridge Wells park and the coronavirus claims another tragic victim.
- [The anti-viral properties of human kindness](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/mental-health-awareness-week/): The Mental Health Foundation is making kindness the subject of its Mental Health Awareness Week in a timely campaign which I hope will help remind us, when lockdown is history, to make kindness its legacy.
- [How to stop the killer cravings…](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/how-to-stop-the-killer-cravings/): I must confess, I’m not immune. Sugar addicts and carb junkies beat a steady path to the door of my hypnotherapy practice for help with changing habits and ridding themselves of excess fat. And, generally speaking, I’m able to give them good advice from the perspective of someone who has a healthy relationship with food but is just as susceptible to cravings as they are.
- [Back to school (virtually)](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/back-to-school-virtually/): If pressing the pause button on the pressures of life in the outside world is a positive experience, then it’s important to make sure that, when the reset button is activated, those positives continue post lockdown. When back to school means back to the school run and the pressures of playground and classroom instead of lessons in pyjamas at the kitchen table, let’s hope that parents and children have a renewed respect for the sterling job our amazing teachers do. Children may appreciate the schooldays which have been so rudely interrrupted more and parents may be grateful to have had the pleasure of so much time with children who will all too soon be off leading their own lives.
- [Anxiety advice](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/anxietyadvice/): Goodness me! The internet is suddenly awash with experts on anxiety. Having trawled through some of their offerings, a lot of the advice out there is pretty obvious to me. But then I am, and have been for many years, busy helping people manage their anxiety.
- [This is going to Hurt (a bit)](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/this-is-going-to-hurt-a-bit/): As far as our primitive survival instinct is concerned, any pain is bad or dangerous.  It doesn’t compute that medical science has given us the means to live longer and be healthier and that some of the ways it does that will hurt.  It is this neurology that also objects to the drawing of blood, which can be a very specific form of needle phobia based on the fundamental fear that, if we’re bleeding, we might die.
- [Festive Family Fortunes](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/festive-family-fortunes/): The cliches ‘home is where your heart is’, ‘you can’t choose your family’ and ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ are never more true than at Christmas and show how mixed blessings can be at this time of year. 
- [Don’t be CAD](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/dont-be-cad/): We are all swept along on this tide of uncertainty and have the choice of sinking, paddling a new course or drifting..  This is a good time to set sail for calmer water and take on board new ideas and opportunities created in this strange time. 
- [The Last Furlough](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/the-last-furlough/): It is only now as measures taken to protect people financially during lockdowns are being lifted that the true personal cost of the pandemic will become clear.  Adjusting to the consequences is going to test the mental health of the nation.
- [Dating Dilemmas](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/dating-dilemmas/): The dating world makes love, trust and commitment elusive as so many make promises they have no intention of keeping.  While dating apps are no longer exclusively for casual hook-ups and have evolved into a universal go-to for those seeking relationships, the rules are unclear and expectations often unrealistic.
- [Are we nearly there?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/are-we-nearly-there/): Any crisis accelerates change.  Economically, socially and technologically, there will be global developments in infrastructure.  This will potentially lead to better ways to work, live and benefit from scientific progress post pandemic.
- [How hypnotherapy can help you stop snacking](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/say-no-to-snacks/): Stop those Snack Attacks with Hypnotherapy Our supermarkets are absolutely rammed with a smorgasbord of both sweet and savoury snacks to tempt the taste buds of every shopper.  And who, these days, doesn’t fill themselves up with one of the handy treats stacked high by the queue to pay for fuel at the filling station?
- [The Price of Lockdown](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/the-price-of-lockdown/): The media is awash with doom and gloom about the economy. And much of what is reported is so baffling it makes no sense in terms of the price of lockdown on us as individuals. When figures are bandied about in the billions, it’s difficult to relate that in real terms to the difference it makes to our bank balance.
- [Confidence on Valentine’s Day](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/confidence-on-valentines-day/): Many people lack confidence when dating.  If you are looking forward to that special Valentine's Day date with trepidation and would like more confidence on the day and in the future, hypnotherapy could be the answer.
- [12 Top Tips to Help Someone Close to you Manage their Anxiety](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/helpwithanxiety/): As a busy hypnotherapist, I spend a lot of time helping people cope with anxiety. The progress we make is sometimes undermined by those closest to them thinking they can just get over it or telling them to ‘pull themselves together’.
- [Grown Up Thinking About Childhood Mental Health](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/grown-up-thinking-about-childhood-mental-health/): Childhood mental health services are in crisis.  When a child who feels helpless, hopeless and out of control is brave enough to tell their parents, only to discover that they can’t find a way to solve the problem either, the world very quickly becomes a much scarier place. Small issues can become huge and unmanageable if they’re not effectively and quickly nipped in the bud. It can take months or sometimes even years to get access to Children’s and Adolescent’s Mental Health Services (CAHMS). And this underfunded division of the NHS is buried in an avalanche of acute cases which it doesn’t have enough resources to deal with.
- [Banish Back to School Blues](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/banish-back-to-school-blues/): Tunbridge Wells based hypnotherapist Karen Martin spends a great deal of her working day helping children, teens and adolescents. So, she's busy at this time of year helping to banish back to school blues.  Karen’s passion and expertise in this field have enabled her to help many hundreds of young people and she has established an enviable reputation as the ‘go-to’ therapist for young people and their parents.
- [The true value of investing in hypnotherapy: can you afford NOT to?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/invest-in-hypnotherapy-can-you-afford-not-to/): Although hypnotherapy offers a profound improvement in quality of life, many still see it as a luxury. So the spending on food, booze, cigarettes and retail therapy continues, while investing in hypnotherapy is regarded as an extravagance.  However, research has shown that hypnotic strategies can help with issues such as weight control, addictions like smoking, alcoholism and gambling, depression and anxiety. Can you really afford to not try it out?
- [Exam Results](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/exam-results-2/): There is a world of opportunity for those who are brave enough to challenge themselves to be the best they can be.
- [What’s love got to do with it?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/whats-love-got/): Overpriced cellophane wrapped unscented roses that droop before they open, gooey heart shaped calorie laden puddings and crappy jewellery flogged in the backs of Sunday supplements that would make Gerald Ratner blush with shame.  All this and more is ours at an inflated price in the celebration of true love.
- [Creating a Less Stressed Life](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/a-life-less-stressed/): It's easy to dismiss commonly expressed laments about being over-stressed but most of us are aware that we would be happier with a less stressed life. We all buckle under the strains and difficulties of daily life from time to time. Our world is a busy one.
- [Our Top Five Fears](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/top-five-fears/): Everyone is afraid of something. It doesn't matter where you live, the year you were born, your skin colour or creed, our top five fears are a natural component of the human experience. They part of our primeval, genetically determined survival instinct. Without them, our chance of recognising danger and avoiding it or defending ourselves would be considerably reduced. The whole point of those top five fears is to keep us safe.
- [Overcome Interview Anxiety with Hypnotherapy](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/interview-anxiety/): The fear of interviews prevents many hopefuls from performing well at job interviews and some will avoid them completely, losing the chance to go for that dream job. There are many hypnotherapeutic strategies that help beat interview anxiety, providing life-changing opportunities for career advancement and job satisfaction.

So, some women with anxiety don’t ever want to step outside their comfort zone.

- [Hypnotherapy for Children](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/hypnotherapy-for-children/): Hypnotherapy for children works really well as they are generally brilliant at making changes.  They spend far more time than adults in an unconsciously creative, imaginative state.  This makes it easy for them to follow hypnotic strategies applied in an age-appropriate and relevant way.
- [Hypnotherapy For Insomnia](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/insomnia/): Do you dream of a good night’s sleep?  Insomnia is a form of torture for very good reason.  It sends us all a bit bonkers.  Lack of sleep has many and varied causes and it’s no good just telling yourself to go to sleep, it happens spontaneously when you’re not paying any attention.

Just complete the simple form below to request your free consultation and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours.
- [Solutions for anxious children](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/solutions-for-anxious-children/): Anxiety is tough for children. They don’t understand it, they don’t know why they feel the way they do and they don’t always have the ability to articulate those feelings. So it can easily get worse as confusion and uncertainty set in. Even though they may be told ‘don’t be silly, it’ll be alright’, they know they’re not alright. And by now they’re feeling silly as well as getting more and more anxious about being anxious.
- [Do anxious parents create anxiety in children?](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/anxiety-in-children-worries-parents/): Children are like emotional sponges, soaking up the feelings of those closest to them. So when there is anxiety in children it’s not surprising especially when there is parental anxiety to which they are particularly sensitive to. It’s normal to feel anxious about the stresses of daily life at times and, even if your kids don’t know the cause, they will very likely be aware that something is bothering you. That may be because you’re disorganised or forgetful, antisocial, unhelpful or just plain grumpy.

- [Control Anger](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/hypnotherapy-for-anger/): Anger has far reaching consequences which we never think of when overpowered by it. Anger can ruin relationships and your health. Hypnotherapy for anger helps you take control of your emotions and rein in the rage.
- [Manage Pain](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/manage-pain/): Hypnotherapy makes it possible to give birth and undergo surgical or dental procedures and manage pain. It effectively relieves what is described as the 'fear, tension, pain' cycle which can aggravate or cause discomfort in the body. It also has some proven benefits in accelerating healing after injury or surgery.
- [Improve Sports Performance](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/improve-sports-performance/): It's no secret that Olympic athletes, Grand Slam tennis players and Open Championship golfers often improve sports performance by incorporating imagery and mental rehearsal into their practice routines. What is less well known is how effective hypnosis can be in this process. Self-hypnosis enables you to imagine yourself rehearsing and refining the perfect swing, scoring the perfect goal or running the perfect marathon.
- [Fight Addictions](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/fight-addiction/): What’s your poison? Or, put another way, how do you self-medicate for the disappointments and disasters of daily life? Addictions are the toxic remedy of choice for far more people than you could possibly imagine. They are one of life’s guilty secrets and technology and affluence make them easily available to all.
- [Prepare for Dental Treatment](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/dental-treatment/): It was only a generation or two ago that dental treatment meant teeth were removed and replaced by dentures in young adults to save them the pain of decay. And braces were the badge of the plain, buck- toothed child who suffered the discomfort and indignity of tight wires and teasing.
- [Overcome Your Fears](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/hypnotherapy-for-phobias/): Irrational and outside of our conscious control, when a phobia is triggered our imagination runs riot creating an extreme emotional reaction. Hypnotherapy for phobias uses your brilliant, creative mind to replace the fear with alternative ways of thinking, feeling and responding, restoring calmness and control.
- [Reduce Anxiety](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/hypnotherapy-for-anxiety/): In its many and varied forms, anxiety is part of daily life for many and Karen has enabled hundreds of sufferers to manage their symptoms using hypnotherapy for anxiety. Her hypnotherapy for anxiety programme is a range of techniques which have proved to be fast, effective and permanent.
- [Hypnotherapy For Stress](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/hypnotherapy-for-stress/): Stress doesn't discriminate against age, sex, race or occupation and its grip tightens as the social and economic pressures of 21st century life increase. However, hypnotherapy for stress can really turn things around.
- [Beat Exam Nerves](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/exam-nerves/): The symptoms of exam nerves make it difficult for the most diligent of students to make the grade. The primitive fight or flight response to perceived danger sends oxygenated blood to arms and legs so we can fight or run away from predators.
- [Weight Control using Hypnotherapy](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/weight-loss/): Those who received the hypnosis lost more weight than 90 percent of those not receiving hypnosis and maintained the weight loss two years after treatment ended.
- [Hypnobirthing](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/hypnobirthing/): What is clear from research findings is that hypnobirthing is a safe and effective way to decrease the perception of pain whilst increasing your ability to manage the sensations of labour.

- [Stop Smoking With Hypnotherapy](https://www.hypnotherapykent.co.uk/stop-smoking/): Stop smoking therapy takes only one session and works because the power of your subconscious mind can influence the way you think, feel and behave, making it much easier to stop. Using will-power alone to try and stop can create irritability, mood swings, bad temper, cravings and possible weight gain. Hypnotherapy has been proven to be the best method of stopping smoking in surveys by Which? and New Scientist magazines. These findings were the results of in-depth studies of all methods of stopping smoking, including Nicotine Replacement Therapy.
