Hypnotherapy for Anxiety
A Completely Natural Remedy Available Now!
Feeling anxious from time to time is a natural part of life for many individuals. However, for some, anxiety transcends occasional worry and evolves into a pervasive condition that stifles their ability to lead a fulfilling and dynamic life.
This heightened state of anxiety might be creating barriers in your professional environment, stifling your potential and progress. Perhaps it’s even casting a shadow over your social life, preventing you from engaging in and enjoying the kind of social interactions you long for.
If you find that anxiety is a constant, unwelcome companion in your life, you’re likely all too familiar with the profound impact it can have. It’s not just about feeling nervous or worried; it’s about living in a state of perpetual apprehension that hinders your every step, making even simple tasks seem insurmountable.
We use hypnotherapy for anxiety to treat the following
Anxiety, a condition that weaves its way through the tapestry of our lives, manifests in various forms, each with its distinct characteristics and triggers. Understanding these different types of anxiety is the first step towards managing them effectively and regaining control over one’s life.
Agoraphobia: Often misunderstood as a simple fear of open spaces, agoraphobia encompasses a much broader range of anxieties. Individuals with agoraphobia experience intense fear or anxiety in situations where escape might be difficult, or help might not be available in the event of a panic attack. These situations can include being in crowded areas, travelling on public transport, being outside the home alone, or even being in vast, open spaces.
The fear is so overpowering that people with agoraphobia often go to great lengths to avoid these situations, in some cases becoming unable to leave their homes. The condition can severely restrict one’s lifestyle and independence, leading to a significant decrease in quality of life. Agora phobia is probably the most common issue we treat with hypnotherapy for anxiety.
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): This form of anxiety is characterised by persistent and excessive worry about a multitude of things, from health and work to routine daily activities. Those with GAD often find themselves in a relentless cycle of anxiety that is disproportionate to the actual source of worry, making it difficult to relax or concentrate.
Panic Disorder: Characterised by sudden, intense episodes of fear or discomfort, panic disorder leads to physical symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, and a feeling of losing control or impending doom. These panic attacks can occur unexpectedly, heightening the individual’s sense of anxiety about experiencing another attack.
Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia): This type involves an overwhelming fear of social situations or performing in front of others, leading to avoidance behaviours that can severely limit one’s ability to interact in social settings. Individuals with social anxiety are often excessively concerned about being judged or embarrassed in front of others.
Specific Phobias: A specific phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a particular object or situation, such as heights, spiders, or flying. The fear goes beyond what’s appropriate and can cause individuals to go to great lengths to avoid their specific fear, significantly impacting their daily lives.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Although often classified separately, OCD is characterised by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) that the individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): PTSD can develop after exposure to a traumatic event, such as warfare, natural disasters, or personal assaults. Symptoms include reliving the trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of situations that bring back memories of the trauma, heightened reactivity, and severe anxiety.
Recognising these different forms of anxiety is crucial in seeking appropriate help and support. Effective treatments, including cognitive behavioural therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, can help manage the symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected by anxiety disorders.
But there is good news for you!
Anxiety can be managed and reduced – using non-invasive, all-natural techniques that will empower you to overcome your fears and give you back the freedom to enjoy life that you once had.
Do you recognise these symptoms?
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Feeling out of control
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain, pounding or tightness
- Feelings of nausea
- Hot flushes or feelings of fever
- Your mind racing out of control
These are common sensations for those who suffer with higher than usual levels of anxiety. Sometimes they can be caused by a physical condition – and we would recommend you speak to your GP to rule this out – but very often that’s not the case.
If you’re grappling with chronic anxiety, the sensations you experience are often the physical manifestations of an underlying issue deep within your thoughts and feelings. When this happens, the distress and discomfort experienced are not mere emotional states but are indicative of conditioning that you may have experienced during your life.
The silver lining in this is that conditioning and the beliefs that it sets up can be addressed using hypnotherapy for anxiety without resorting to medication or invasive procedures. By using hypnotherapy for anxiety resolution we can help you to retrain the brain and re-assess previous conditioning, offering relief and a path towards regaining control over your life.
Imagine living anxiety-free from now on – how much better would life be then?
In fact, anxiety is a natural (and sometimes beneficial) sensation. Anxiety can warn us of dangerous or threatening situations – it can protect us from harm. And it can be a common side effect associated with emotions such as excitement and exhilaration. But when anxiety takes over, that’s a problem. Hypnotherapy for anxiety helps you to give the anxiety feelings proper perspective.
The good news is that it’s no longer a problem you have to cope with.
Techniques such as NLP and hypnotherapy for anxiety have been proven time and again to help people overcome their anxiety, and give them the tools and freedom to live a calm, relaxed and fulfilled life.

- Clinical hypnotherapy for anxiety has shown promising results in treating depression, anxiety, and somatisation syndromes. According to a rapid response in The BMJ, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy can enhance treatment outcomes by 70% and lead to long-term remission compared to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alone, as shown in a meta-analysis of 18 studies. Hypnosis sessions can also address associated issues like phobias, substance abuse, eating disorders, low self-esteem, and social behaviour patterns at a subconscious level. Techniques used in clinical hypnotherapy, such as reframing, ego reinforcement, and metaphor, can have a profound long-term impact. Moreover, the overall treatment duration with clinical hypnotherapy tends to be shorter than with CBT sessions.
These findings suggest that hypnotherapy could be a valuable tool in mental health treatment, offering an alternative or complementary approach to traditional therapies. Further research could provide more insights into its efficacy and potential to improve patient outcomes in various mental health conditions.
