Anxiety is a natural response to stress, uncertainty, or fear. It can range from mild unease to overwhelming worry, and while everyone experiences anxiety at times, for some it can begin to take over everyday life.

​

You might feel anxious before a job interview, medical appointment, or social situation, and in these moments, anxiety is perfectly normal. But when worry becomes constant or hard to control, it can feel exhausting, isolating, and all-consuming.

​

Anxiety affects everyone differently. For many, it leads to racing thoughts, physical tension, trouble sleeping, or feeling “on edge” without a clear reason. It often becomes a daily struggle, impacting relationships, confidence, and overall wellbeing.

​

Anxiety is also the core symptom of several conditions, including:

• Panic attacks

• Health anxiety

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Social anxiety disorder (social phobia)

• Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) – where worries span many areas of life, often without a single clear cause

​

People with GAD often feel anxious most days, unable to remember the last time they felt truly relaxed. One anxious thought is quickly replaced by another, creating a relentless mental cycle.

​

With Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I offer a supportive, evidence-based approach that helps you reduce anxiety, regain control, and feel more like yourself again. You'll learn practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, soothe your nervous system, and build emotional resilience—without needing to dwell on the past.

​

This approach can also help with anxiety-related behaviours such as trichotillomania (hair pulling), bruxism (teeth grinding), and general feelings of overwhelm.
