Anxiety

Overview:

Worried about something happening in the future?
Racing thoughts stuck on a loop?
Feeling the urge to avoid situations just to get some relief?

You may be experiencing anxiety.

There are many forms of anxiety, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety and Health Anxiety, to name just a few.

Anxiety is often experienced as a persistent sense of dread or apprehension. Sometimes it’s triggered by stress, but often the source isn’t clear at all. And even when we do know what we’re anxious about, the intensity of the feelings can feel overwhelming or out of proportion to the situation.

Anxiety tends to feed itself. The more anxious you feel, the more your mind and body stay on high alert - creating a cycle that can be difficult to break. Unprocessed trauma, prolonged stress, and ongoing pressure can all contribute, as can changes in brain chemistry such as low serotonin, dopamine imbalance, and chronically elevated cortisol levels.

Feeling anxious from time to time is part of being human. In small doses, anxiety can even help keep us safe.

But when anxiety begins to interfere with daily life - affecting your sleep, relationships, work, or sense of self - it can start to erode your quality of life and contribute to depression or feelings of hopelessness.

If this resonates, it’s important to know that you don’t have to manage it alone.

The right support can make a real difference.

Facts:

  • Approximately 73% of UK adults have felt anxious at some point in the past two weeks.

  • Anxiety disorders affect an estimated 1 in 10 UK adults.

  • 1 in 5 UK adults experience anxiety most or all of the time.

How hypnotherapy can help you:

During a Hypnotherapy Session, we work with both your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.

You will be gently guided into hypnosis, where you’ll experience a state of deep, blissful relaxation — a space where the nervous system can soften and the mind becomes more receptive to change.

At the heart of this work is a shift from force to flow - from effort, pressure, and inner conflict to ease, calm, and inner peace. When we stop fighting ourselves, space is created for change to unfold naturally and sustainably.

While in hypnosis, you will receive direct suggestions, gently leveraging your brain’s neuroplasticity and encouraging the formation of new neural pathways - an essential part of long-lasting change.

We use ego-strengthening techniques to support a healthier sense of self, increased self-trust, and a stronger sense of inner stability and purpose.

Together, we work to identify and replace negative thought patterns and self-limiting beliefs with more supportive, empowering ones.

We will gently explore your specific triggers, learning how to manage — and often reduce or eliminate - their emotional charge.

Where appropriate, formative memories may be revisited and softly re-coded, allowing the subconscious mind to update old responses that are no longer serving you.

We also identify and challenge any secondary gains - the hidden reasons a pattern may have been unconsciously maintained.

Alongside hypnosis, we explore practical coping tools including NLP anchoring, tapping (EFT), breathing techniques, and grounding practices you can use in everyday life.

Some clients find it particularly helpful to work with their inner child, rebuilding a sense of safety, reassurance, and self-compassion, or to reconnect with their intuition - sometimes referred to as inner guidance - strengthening their ability to trust themselves and their choices.

Between sessions, you will be encouraged to listen to a bespoke audio recording and, where helpful, engage with reflective practices such as a positivity journal to support integration.

When you feel ready to complete your therapy, you will receive a Longevity Plan designed to help embed the changes you’ve made and support you in moving forward with confidence and independence.
