Topic -Stopping the Spiral
Learn how to notice when your thoughts are going downhill and use easy techniques to pause, reset, and steady yourself.
Many parent carers describe how quickly worries can build — one thought leads to another, and before you know it, everything can feel overwhelming. This is sometimes called a “spiral,” and it’s a very normal response when you’re under ongoing stress and responsibility.
Our hypnotherapy wellbeing session with Nicole from Hummingbird Hypnotherapy and LPCF, is designed to help you recognise these moments earlier and learn simple, gentle ways to pause and regain a sense of calm and control.

Topic- Being Kinder to Yourself
Explore self-compassion without guilt — letting go of harsh self-talk and learning to treat yourself with the same kindness you give others.
Parent carers often give so much of themselves to supporting others that their own needs and wellbeing can come last. Many also carry an inner voice that is critical, blaming, or unkind — especially during difficult moments.
This gentle hypnotherapy wellbeing session with Nicole from Hummingbird Hypnotherapy and LPCF, helps you understand why this happens and how to begin developing a more supportive, compassionate relationship with yourself.
During the session, you will:
This is not about expecting perfection or asking you to do more. It’s about helping you feel calmer, more balanced, and better supported emotionally.
The session is relaxed, supportive, and practical. You are welcome to simply listen and take what feels helpful for you.
Being kinder to yourself isn’t selfish — it helps you protect your wellbeing so you can continue supporting your family in a sustainable way.
This session forms part of LPCF’s wellbeing programme, supporting the emotional health and resilience of parent carers.
Free for LPCF members only.
Come exactly as you are — tired, busy, or overwhelmed. You are very welcome.

Topic-Preparing for Holidays (Without the Overwhelm)
Tools to help you plan, cope with change, and manage expectations so holidays feel more manageable and less stressful
Holidays and special occasions can bring added pressure for parent carers. Changes in routine, increased expectations, and uncertainty can make what should be an enjoyable time feel stressful or overwhelming.
This supportive hypnotherapy wellbeing session with Nicole from Hummingbird Hypnotherapy and LPCF, is designed to help you approach holidays feeling calmer, more prepared, and more in control.
During the session, you will:
The session focuses on realistic, practical approaches — not perfection. Small changes in how you prepare and respond can make a big difference to how manageable holidays feel.

This session is part of LPCF’s wellbeing programme, supporting parent carers to feel more confident, resilient, and emotionally supported throughout the year.
