Overcome Anxiety and Stress
Struggling with constant worry, panic attacks or overwhelming anxiety? Anxiety hypnotherapy addresses the root causes of anxiety at a subconscious level, helping you regain calm, control and confidence. Effective treatment for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks and phobias.
​
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for addressing various types of anxiety, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, driving anxiety, health anxiety and phobia-related anxiety. By guiding individuals into a relaxed state, hypnotherapy helps to uncover the root causes of their anxiety and promotes a sense of calm and control.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress or danger, characterised by feelings of worry, fear, or unease. It becomes a problem when these feelings are persistent, overwhelming, and interfere with daily life, often occurring without a clear cause or trigger.
​
Anxiety is the most common mental health problem - over 30% of people in the UK experience anxiety at some point in their lives. Many people suffer silently, believing anxiety is just part of their personality. However, anxiety is treatable, and hypnotherapy offers one of the most effective approaches to lasting relief.
​
Common Anxiety Symptoms
Physical symptoms: Increased heart rate and palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating and dry mouth, muscle tension and chest tightness, nausea and digestive problems, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, difficulty sleeping (insomnia).
Psychological symptoms: Excessive worrying and overthinking, racing thoughts that won't stop, restlessness and feeling on edge, sense of impending doom or panic, difficulty concentrating, irritability and mood swings, dissociation or feeling disconnected, low mood and depression.
If you experience these symptoms regularly, anxiety hypnotherapy can help you regain control and find lasting calm.
Types of Anxiety Treated with Hypnotherapy
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Do you worry constantly about everything? Generalised anxiety disorder involves persistent, excessive worry about multiple aspects of life - work, health, relationships, finances - even when there's no obvious reason for concern. GAD creates constant background tension that's exhausting and interferes with daily functioning.
​
Anxiety hypnotherapy for GAD addresses the subconscious patterns creating persistent worry, helping your nervous system return to a calm baseline rather than remaining in constant high alert.
​
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety involves intense fear of judgment, embarrassment or humiliation in social situations. This can affect work presentations, meetings, social gatherings, eating in public, or even making phone calls. Social anxiety hypnotherapy identifies the origin of these fears and updates your subconscious programming, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident in social situations.
​
Health Anxiety (Hypochondria)
Health anxiety involves constant worry about having a serious illness, often misinterpreting normal body sensations as signs of disease. This creates a cycle of anxiety that actually worsens physical symptoms. Hypnotherapy for health anxiety addresses the root fears driving health obsession and helps restore a balanced perspective about your body and health.
​
Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder
Panic attacks involve sudden, intense episodes of overwhelming fear accompanied by severe physical symptoms - racing heart, chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness, feeling like you're dying or losing control. Fear of having another panic attack often develops, creating panic disorder.
​
Anxiety hypnotherapy for panic attacks identifies what triggers panic responses and retrains your nervous system to respond differently, breaking the panic cycle.
How Does Anxiety Hypnotherapy Work?
Accessing the Subconscious Mind
Hypnotherapy works by helping individuals access a deeply relaxed state where the subconscious mind becomes more open to positive change. In this focused state, you're guided to explore and resolve the root causes of your anxiety.
During anxiety hypnotherapy sessions, you remain fully aware and in control. Hypnotherapy is simply deep relaxation combined with focused attention - not unconsciousness or loss of control.
​
Identifying Root Causes of Anxiety
Most anxiety has origins in past experiences, often from childhood or significant life events. Your subconscious learned to respond with anxiety to protect you, but this protection has become excessive and unhelpful.
​
Anxiety hypnotherapy helps you identify when anxious patterns began, understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, recognise the original experiences that created anxiety responses, discover subconscious beliefs maintaining anxiety, and process and release emotional roots of anxiety.
​
Reframing Negative Thought Patterns
Anxiety involves automatic negative thinking patterns - catastrophising, always expecting the worst, and imagining terrible outcomes. These thought patterns happen subconsciously and feel completely real, creating genuine fear responses even when there's no actual danger.
​
Using techniques that address the root causes of anxiety, exploring past experiences and reframing anxious thoughts, hypnotherapy helps you change negative automatic thoughts, reduce the intensity of anxiety triggers, build stronger resilience to stress, form balanced responses to situations, and regain a sense of control and calm.
​
This therapeutic approach reshapes how your subconscious perceives and responds to potential stressors, meaning you naturally feel calmer without having to constantly manage anxiety.
​
Reducing Physical Anxiety Responses
The physical symptoms of anxiety - racing heart, shallow breathing, muscle tension - result from your nervous system's fight-or-flight response activating inappropriately. Anxiety hypnotherapy retrains your nervous system to distinguish real danger from perceived threats, respond proportionately to situations, return quickly to calm after stress, maintain a relaxed baseline rather than constant tension, and reduce or eliminate panic attacks.
