You do not have to keep
managing anxiety
Anxiety is exhausting. The constant overthinking, the tight chest, the sense that something terrible is about to happen — even when everything is technically fine. Your nervous system has learned to stay on high alert, and it can be taught to let go.

Anxiety is not a mindset problem or a sign of weakness. It is a survival response — your subconscious mind working overtime to protect you from perceived threats, whether those threats are real or not.
That is why telling yourself to just relax rarely works. The anxious response lives below the level of conscious thought. To change it, you need to work at that level — which is exactly what I do.
Common types of anxiety I help with
A persistent background hum of worry that never fully switches off. People with GAD often find themselves catastrophising about everyday situations — health, relationships, finances, work — even when there is no real cause for concern.
An intense fear of being judged, embarrassed or rejected in social situations. Social anxiety can make even simple interactions — a work meeting, a trip to the shops, a phone call — feel overwhelming.
Constant, intrusive worry about illness or physical symptoms. Health anxiety can become a cycle of reassurance-seeking that provides only temporary relief before the worry returns.
Sudden, intense episodes of fear that trigger physical symptoms including racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a terrifying sense of losing control. Panic attacks can feel like a medical emergency — but they are treatable.
Anxiety that surfaces specifically around pressure situations — driving tests, exams, presentations, interviews, or competitions — can sabotage performance even when someone is well-prepared.
Signs you may be living with anxiety
- Racing or intrusive thoughts you cannot switch off
- Feeling on edge, restless or wound up most of the time
- Physical symptoms: tight chest, shallow breathing, headaches, stomach problems
- Difficulty sleeping or waking up with a sense of dread
- Avoiding situations that trigger worry
- Irritability or snapping at people you care about
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Needing reassurance repeatedly but never feeling reassured for long
If several of these feel familiar, you are not alone. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people come to me — and one of the most responsive to the approaches I use.
The approach
How I treat anxiety
Rather than asking you to talk through every anxious thought or relive difficult experiences, I work with the subconscious mind directly — where the anxiety is actually held. Sessions are gentle, non-retraumatising, and content-free. We work with the feeling, not the story.
In a deeply relaxed state, the subconscious becomes open to change. I use this window to gently re-pattern the beliefs, associations and automatic responses that keep anxiety running — replacing them with a genuine, settled sense of calm.
Developed by Andrew T. Austin, IEMT uses structured eye movements and precise questioning to work directly with emotional and identity imprints — the deeply held patterns that keep anxiety running. Many clients notice a significant shift within a single session.
Where anxiety has roots in a specific traumatic event, the BLAST Technique helps the brain reprocess those experiences — so the memory remains, but the distressing emotional response no longer fires.

Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Can hypnotherapy really help with anxiety?
Yes. The Royal College of Psychiatrists acknowledges research showing hypnotherapy can help with anxiety, stress and related conditions. While NICE recommends CBT as its primary treatment, hypnotherapy is increasingly recognised as a valuable complementary approach — and many clients find it effective where other methods have not fully worked.
Do I have to talk about what is making me anxious?
No. My sessions are largely content-free. We work with the emotional response itself, not the details of what caused it.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients feel noticeably calmer after their first session. For longer-standing anxiety, the full benefit typically builds over two to four sessions.
Can you help with anxiety in children?
Yes. I work with children and young people using age-appropriate approaches including the Bunny Talks Process. Find out more about children's services
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes — all sessions are available online via video call, just as effective as in-person, from anywhere in the UK.
