Two Quick Questions… March 2026
Q: “Two quick questions if I may! Firstly I’m finding that I’ve become increasingly sensitive to all of the energies that my clients bring with them into my healing space. While there are positive aspects to this, I’m finding it quite uncomfortable to be so open to these energies. At times it feels overwhelming, and I’m struggling to stay centred. Also it feels like they leave echos of their energy in the room afterwards. Which essences would help most here? Secondly, one of my clients is struggling significantly with feelings of resentment and a sense that life is unfair. I’m familiar with Willow, but what else would most help her to work with these feelings - she’s finding them really quite distressing!
A: A really good essence to help with the over-sensitivity that you’re feeling would be the Auric Protection essence. You could use both the drops and the spray version - use the drops 3 - 4 x a day and use the spray before and after doing a treatment. This would help you to feel in your own energetic space, retaining the sensitivity that you need as a therapist but not the oversensitivity that is uncomfortable. You could also use a Positive Vibrations Essence spray to clear your working space and your energetic field after a treatment. For your client, a bottle of Self Responsibility Essence would really help her to work with releasing the resentment she’s feeling. And yes she would definitely find a bottle of Willow from the Bach Flower Remedies helpful too.

Oversensitivity & Forgiveness... February 2026
Q: “One of my clients is a senior teacher and she came to me recently feeling in some distress. She’s starting to really struggle to cope with being in school and everything that is going on there. So many of the kids there are facing real difficulties in their lives and she’s finding it increasingly difficult to deal with it emotionally, especially as she feels there is increasingly less quality time to support and help them. She is very sensitive to how everyone feels around her and to the general vibe of the school and finds it difficult to filter it out. She describes herself as like a human sponge! She has a big heart, is passionate and enthusiastic and wants to make everyone’s life better. She’s on something of a mission to raise awareness of the problems that schools are facing. The trouble is she is getting overwhelmed and feels she’s no longer strong enough to do it, it’s just too much for her to fix and it’s making her feel terribly guilty and low. I feel from her, though she’d probably never say it because she doesn’t easily say what’s bothering her personally, that there’s a deep over responsibility, and a real frustration and anger, with how bad things have been allowed to become in schools. She’s overwhelmed so I’m thinking Elm and really struggles with boundaries so Walnut, what else would you suggest for her?"
A: Yes definitely Elm and Walnut would be helpful remedies! Bach Flower Remedies: I would suggest a combination of: Elm (feeling overwhelmed), Vervain (over-enthusiasm), Walnut (protection), Pine (guilt), Gentian (doubt / despair), Holly (anger / frustration), Hornbeam (not feeling strong enough), Agrimony (expression). These will help her to address some of the main issues that she is working with.
Deeper Acting Essences to Help: Auric Protection Spray: this would be a really helpful spray for your client, one she could use before going to school and during the day. It is all about helping to strengthen your aura and it's very helpful if you are over-sensitive to energies, or other peoples thoughts and feelings, or if you have weak energetic boundaries. Alongside the Auric Protection Spray I’d suggest that she has the following combinations:
1 - Forgiveness Essence: this is a really good essence for working with guilt and forgiveness. It works with excessive feelings of guilt, blame, judegment or over-responsibility. It helps to open your heart to make peace with what’s happening so that you can forgive and move on.
2 - Solar Plexus Chakra Essence: this is a very helpful essence for knowing your own space, for self-definition, personal power, will and positive emotional expression. It's very useful if you feel oversensitive or too open to others, have a sense of vulnerability, lack of self worth or difficulties with personal boundaries or anger and frustration.

A Client with a Difficult Childhood... January 2026
Q: “My client had a difficult upbringing. Her parents were not overtly abusive, but she experienced her childhood as oppressive, with little space to express or be herself or be creative without feeling criticised or controlled. She grew up with a strong belief that she wouldn’t be loved or accepted unless she was ‘good’ and conformed to her parents expectations for her. Basically, in her own words, to put herself in a small box of someone else’s making. This has led to a lot of worry and tension in her daily life. She bottles up her feelings and has a persistent fear of getting things wrong or making mistakes and frequently apologises for things she has said or done. She finds it difficult to stand up for herself, as asserting her needs triggers fears of rejection. As a result, she sometimes attempts to subtly control or manipulate people or situations in an effort to secure love and acceptance. She carries a great deal of anger toward her parents and continues to struggle when she is around them. I’ve noticed that when she speaks about her parents, her partner and others in her life, she tends to be quite dismissive or critical, probably some of what she experienced in childhood being played back out. What she would like is support in resolving the underlying anger and resentment she feels toward her parents, and help stepping out of the shadow of her childhood so that she can live as a fuller, more authentic expression of herself. What essences would she find most helpful do you think?”
A: I would start with a combination of Bach Flower Remedies to help her to balance how she is thinking and feeling in the moment.
Bach Flower Remedies: I would suggest a combination of: Centaury, Agrimony, Pine, Holly, Beech, Willow, Mimulus & Chicory. These will help her to address some of the main issues that she is working with.
Deeper Acting Essences to Help: Inner Peace Essence: A good starting place to work with the anger would be Inner Peace. This would help her to release the anger that she feels about what happened in her childhood and towards her parents. Throat Chakra Essence: I would follow this up with a bottle of Throat Chakra, which will help her to release old bottled up emotions and better express herself. It can be a powerfully transformative essence for emotional release and self expression. Heart Chakra Essence: next a bottle Heart Chakra would help her open her heart to herself and find that love for herself from within. This would be a powerful essence to help her with her relationship with herself and with her parents. Baby Blue Eyes Flower Essence: I would suggest using a bottle of this essence alongside the above. It’s a single essence and helps to release and transmute emotional issues suppressed in childhood, and is very useful if you did not receive adequate emotional support in childhood and have grown up with the belief that you are not safe or supported.
