People arrive here because something feels stuck, overwhelming, or out of balance — and they want their mind and body to calm down again.
Hypnotherapy can help by working with the brain’s automatic patterns, rather than forcing change through effort or willpower.
Below are the main ways I help people. You don’t need to know exactly where you fit — many people recognise themselves in more than one place.
Anxiety, Stress & Feeling Overwhelmed
Anxiety doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s a constant background tension, a mind that won’t switch off, or a sense of always being on edge.
This can include:
- ongoing worry or nervousness
- sudden surges of fear
- feeling mentally and physically overstretched
Hypnotherapy helps by calming the nervous system and reducing the patterns that keep anxiety looping.

Panic Attacks & Specific Fears
Some people experience anxiety as sudden, intense episodes — panic attacks — or very specific fears that seem to take over in certain situations.
This might involve:
- panic attacks that appear “out of the blue”
- fears that feel irrational but powerful
- physical symptoms that escalate quickly
Rather than battling these responses, hypnotherapy works with the part of the brain that’s triggering them.

Situational Anxiety
For others, anxiety is tied to particular situations rather than being constant.
This can include:
- public speaking or performance nerves
- driving, flying, or travel anxiety
- exam or test anxiety
- blushing or fear of embarrassment
Hypnotherapy helps the brain respond differently in these situations, without needing to avoid them.

Understanding Chronic Stress
Sometimes the problem isn’t fear at all — it’s long-term stress that never quite switches off.
Chronic stress can affect:
- sleep and energy levels
- digestion and gut symptoms
- mood, patience, and emotional regulation
By helping the nervous system settle, hypnotherapy can support the body in moving out of constant alert mode.

Sleep Problems & Night-Time Overthinking
When the mind stays alert at night, sleep can become a struggle rather than a rest.
I help with:
- difficulty falling asleep
- waking during the night
- overthinking or racing thoughts
- anxiety about sleep itself
Hypnotherapy works with the brain’s natural sleep mechanisms, helping rest return without forcing it.

Habits, Addictions & Unwanted Patterns
Some difficulties aren’t about emotion — they’re about automatic behaviours that no longer feel helpful.
This can include:
- smoking or vaping
- alcohol use
- unwanted habits or compulsive behaviours
Hypnotherapy focuses on interrupting these automatic loops and supporting more natural choices.

Confidence, Self-Trust & Emotional Balance
Loss of confidence often follows stress, anxiety, or difficult experiences.
I work with people who want help with:
- low self-confidence or self-trust
- performance pressure
- anger or irritability that feels hard to control
- feeling disconnected from themselves
Hypnotherapy can help restore a steadier internal balance, rather than pushing yourself to “be confident”.

Not sure where you fit?
That’s very common.
You don’t need a diagnosis, and you don’t need to work it all out before getting in touch. Many people begin with one concern and discover others naturally settle as well.
If you’re unsure where to start, you’re welcome to get in touch and talk it through.
