Calm, professional support for stress and anxiety when life feels overwhelming
When life feels overwhelming, painful, or hard to make sense of, you need more than reassurance. You need a calm, experienced professional who can help you feel safe enough to think and feel clearly again.
At Awaken the Change, I work with adults facing stress, anxiety, loss, and complex mind–body symptoms, offering psychologically informed hypnotherapy, counselling, and coaching alongside appropriate medical care. My focus is on helping you reduce distress, regain stability, and move forward at your own pace, in a supportive, ethical, and professional space.
Hi, I’m Linda,
I know that it’s difficult to make stress, anxiety and worry go away on its own. I’ve experienced it and so many of my clients confirm this. Life is so busy and demanding. I really get it.
You want to improve yourself but its hard as you struggle to find a way to feel better. But research and evidence shows that the way you deal with difficult times can make a big difference to your future health and happiness. Contact me.
Hypnotherapy and Counselling can help you:
- Combat fears and phobias
- Let go of stress and anxiety
- Beat panic attacks
- Stop worrying
- Relax and enjoy life
- Build your confidence and self-esteem
- Overcome blushing and shyness
- Reduce test anxiety
- Master public speaking
- Improve your performance
- Cope with grief
- Stop smoking
I’m a specialist in helping people with anxiety who want to change.
I can support you by providing hypnotherapy and counselling. I’m a highly qualified and experienced clinical hypnotherapy practitioner and counsellor, and you can read more about me and my many qualifications here. I also have a blog if you want to get to know me better.
My hypnotherapy sessions are developed around bespoke programmes, so you get so much more than hypnotherapy or counselling alone. You get quality sessions that are built on research and evidence. I specialise in helping people to relieve stress and anxiety or to cope after a loss, so you know that you are getting an expert in the field.
My programmes are designed especially for you and your situation. Often, I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with hypnosis as it’s been proven to give better results for some people. I know that your problem is important, so I really listen to you and help you find the solution.
I’m a supervisor, mentor, and trainer.
As I have been in the helping professions for many years now, I have gained a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience. I have also studied hard and consider myself a life-long learner, so I now want to share this with other therapists.
Consequently, this has led to me to teaching, supervision, mentoring and the development of courses and books on all subjects related to my work. Check my qualifications here. For group or individual supervision please contact me for an informal chat first or browse through my books, courses and resources for therapists.
Finally, when you choose my service you will soon discover that as a retired nurse with over 30 years working in helping professions, I am passionate about what I do because I want you to feel better.
