Generally speaking, Anxiety is our body’s natural response to stress or perceived danger. This is also known as the ‘fight or flight’ response, which enables us to react quickly to life-threatening situations. Frequent or chronic activation of this response can have serious consequences for our health.
Many clients who come to see me are suffering from anxiety in some form or another. This can build up over a long period of time without us realising. We then start to feel overwhelmed, out of control and unable to function day to day.
Anxiety can manifest itself in many ways and can exacerbate any physical or mental health condition. It can often lead to more complex issues, such as addiction, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, eating disorders etc.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be very effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders, helping you to understand what happens in the brain in relation to anxiety and enabling you to have a greater awareness of your condition. The techniques used within sessions enable you to release fear and have greater emotional and physical control.

At the end of each session, you are guided into hypnosis, a relaxed state of mind where you are more responsive to the positive, beneficial suggestions that you hear.
The sessions are designed so that you leave feeling relaxed, positive and often unaware of the important changes happening within your brain.
The number of sessions required depends on the individual and the severity of the anxiety. Some may feel improvements after just one session, while others may need several. Typically, a series of 3-10 sessions is recommended for optimal results.
