Hypnotherapy for anxiety
When your mind keeps scanning for danger, hypnotherapy helps your body learn that it can stand down.
Anxiety can take over a whole day
You might be dealing with constant worry, a racing heart, a knot in your stomach, panic that arrives from nowhere, or a dread of situations you used to handle without thinking. Some people look calm from the outside while feeling flooded on the inside.
I work with generalised anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, work stress and burnout, and fears and phobias.
How hypnotherapy helps
Anxiety is not a character flaw. It is a protective system that has become oversensitive. In hypnosis, deeply relaxed and focused, we can work with that system directly rather than just talking about it.
- Teaching your body to settle quickly, so calm becomes a skill you can use
- Changing the automatic reactions that set off worry or panic
- Building new, more helpful responses to the situations that trouble you
- Practical tools and recordings to use between sessions
Results vary from person to person, and I will always be honest about what is realistic for you.
What to expect
We begin with a free chat. If we go ahead, sessions are relaxed and conversational, followed by guided hypnosis. You stay aware throughout and you are always in control. Many people notice a difference in how they feel within the first few sessions, and we review progress as we go.
If you are also seeing your GP or a mental health team, hypnotherapy can sit alongside that care.
Questions about this
Can hypnotherapy help with panic attacks?
Many people find it helpful. We work on calming the body's alarm response and changing what triggers it. If you have not had your panic attacks checked by a doctor, it is sensible to do so.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on you and what you are dealing with. We agree a plan after the free chat and review it as we go.
Is hypnotherapy a replacement for medication?
No. Please never change or stop medication without speaking to your doctor. Hypnotherapy is a complementary approach.
