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)

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.

Topic -Breaking Unhelpful Habits
Gentle strategies to change habits that no longer serve you — without pressure, blame, or needing “willpower”
Many of us develop habits as a way of coping with stress, tiredness, or overwhelm. These habits are not a sign of weakness — they are your brain’s way of trying to help you manage difficult situations. However, over time, some habits may stop being helpful or may leave you feeling stuck or frustrated.
This hypnotherapy wellbeing session, with Nicole from Hummingbird Hypnotherapy and LPCF helps you understand how habits are formed and how to gently begin changing them in a realistic and compassionate way.
During the session, you will:
This session is supportive, realistic, and free from judgement. It focuses on helping you work with your brain, rather than against it.
This session forms part of LPCF’s wellbeing programme, supporting parent carers to strengthen their wellbeing, confidence, and resilience.
Free for LPCF members only.
Come exactly as you are — tired, busy, or overwhelmed. You are very welcome.

Topic - Social Media & Your Wellbeing
Understand how scrolling affects your mood and confidence, and learn how to use social media in a way that supports rather than drains you.
Social media can be a valuable way for parent carers to find support, information, and connection. However, it can also sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not “good enough,” especially when you’re already managing a lot.
This hypnotherapy wellbeing session, with Nicole from Hummingbird Hypnotherapy and LPCF, helps you understand how social media affects your brain, emotions, and confidence — and how to use it in a way that protects your wellbeing.
During the session, you will:
This is not about giving up social media. It’s about helping you feel more in control of how and when you use it, so it supports rather than drains you.
The session is relaxed, supportive, and practical. You are welcome to simply listen and take away ideas that feel helpful for you.
This session forms part of LPCF’s wellbeing programme, supporting parent carers to maintain emotional balance, confidence, and resilience.
Free for LPCF members only.
