Does this sound like you ?
Your mind won't switch off,
especially at night!
You feel tense, on edge or tired from being 'on' all the time.
You replay conversations, or imagine everything that could go wrong.
You avoid things, places or people because of how they make you feel.
A harsh inner voice that tells you that you're not good enough.
You know you're probably fine, but your body doesn't believe you.
Anxiety is something the mind and body learned to do, and learned patterns can be changed.
Why telling yourself to stop worrying doesn't work
Anxiety is the body's alarm system doing its job, just too often. When it stays switched on, you can feel it in your body (a racing heart, a tight chest, a churning stomach, poor sleep) and in your thoughts, which loop and look for danger.
Avoiding what worries you brings short term relief, but it teaches your mind that the threat was real, so the cycle repeats, and because the alarm sits below your logical thinking, knowing you're safe often isn't enough to switch it off. Thats why this isn't about strength, digging deeper, or trying to power through or suppress, its about changing how your mind and nervous system respond.
How hypnotherapy can work
My work combines psychology, a deep understanding of the nervous system, and hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed, yet focused state in which you stay aware and in control. It gives you a calm space to practice new responses and loosen old patterns.
Between sessions, coaching gives you practical tools to use in everyday life. Together we will:
- Take control of the inner critic, the bully in your mind.
- Interrupt negative thought loops before they take hold.
- Teach your body to settle, using the breath, mindfulness & somatic practices.
- Build the confidence to face things you've been avoiding.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you stay aware and in control throughout. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state, and you can simply stop at any time.
No therapist can promise a result, and everyone responds differently. What I can promise is a plan tailored to you, with steps to help you to move forward with the change that you are seeking. Hypnotherapy is collaborative, and requires both your commitment and mine.
Hypnotherapy isn't a substitute for medical care, if you take medication, do not make any changes to this without talking to your GP.
Most clients choose a package of 6 sessions, usually weekly, so that skills and confidence are built. Some start with a single session so that they can understand what to expect. The minimum amount of sessions I would recommend would by 3, and for most fears or phobias and less complex cases this can often be sufficient.
