Hypnotherapy for anxiety

Imagine feeling peaceful, calm, confident. Being able to trust in yourself. Hypnotherapy can help the feelings of anxiety.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives, when sitting an exam, going on a first date or going for a job interview. When we feel the symptoms of anxiety such as racing heart, shortness of breath or maybe an increase in perspiration, in these situations we know it’s perfectly normal. However, for some people it’s hard to control their worries and these symptoms of anxiety become more constant and start to creep into daily life. Hypnotherapy will help you decrease your anxiety and help restore the balance.

Hypnotherapy for confidence

Confidence is often described as having belief in yourself and your ability to succeed. Confidence always comes from within. Striking the balance between too much and too little confidence can be challenging, but whether too much or too little, all too often life events can impact our confidence. This often means you lose sight of your goals and you miss out on the opportunities you want in life.

Hypnotherapy can help by letting you focus on your strengths and what you can do, not what you can’t. Focusing on all the ‘good things’ allows you to push past the boundaries you are placing on yourself, eliminating self-doubt.

Hypnotherapy for depression

Depression is a common mental health concern and brings about feelings of guilt, low self-worth, low energy and a loss of interest and pleasure in things. Depression affects people in different ways but when it starts to impact your daily life it can help exacerbate the feelings of loneliness.

Hypnotherapy can help by building your confidence, enhancing your feelings of wellbeing, lifting your mood and boosting your feelings of hopefulness.

Hypnotherapy for fears and phobias

Phobias are an intense fear of a particular object or situation. They are almost always a fear that is out of proportion to the real danger. If you have resigned yourself to living in fear and its impacting on your life, hypnotherapy can help by reducing the reaction to the ‘fear’ or ‘stressor’ and help you to begin to think objectively free of fear. Phobias are an intense fear of a particular object or situation. They are almost always a fear that is out of proportion to the real danger. If you have resigned yourself to living in fear and its impacting on your life, hypnotherapy can help by reducing the overall reaction.

Hypnotherapy for fertility and childbirth

Infertility can be a lonely place, with lots of uncertainty, worry and at times, emotional distress. Anxiety increases as a result, and your body and mind are no longer the relaxed environment needed to welcome a much wanted for pregnancy. Even if you require medical intervention to aid a pregnancy, hypnotherapy can help with the feelings associated with your fertility, putting you back in control, helping you to relax, calming your fears and anxieties and balancing your hormones. Hypnotherapy can also be very effective during pregnancy and childbirth, helping you to create an empowering mindset for birth, putting you in control and creating an experience that will include lots of positive memories.

Hypnotherapy for IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system. It can cause episodes of stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. These symptoms come and go over days, weeks and even months. Although usually a lifelong problem, you can introduce some self-help measures, including identifying your triggers. Relief may be subject to dietary changes, regular exercise and of course reducing any stress and anxiety in your life, including finding ways to relax.

Solution focussed hypnotherapy is recognised by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) to be considered for the management of IBS.

Hypnotherapy for insomnia

Insomnia or sleeplessness is where we struggle to sleep on a regular basis, whether that be falling asleep or staying asleep. Insomnia is nearly always followed by daytime low energy, anxiousness and low or depressed mood. Hypnotherapy can help by allowing your body and mind to relax, reducing the anxiety associated with your sleep patterns and increasing the amount of REM sleep you achieve (deep sleep).

Hypnotherapy for motivation

Motivation is the reason behind all our actions and goals. It is what makes you take action. What motivates each of us, will be different, but hypnotherapy can help you develop achievable goals and build a sense of self-belief so you can achieve what you want.

Any increase in motivation is good in life but if you need that extra push to get ahead in business, sport, or school then hypnotherapy will help you take that next step, allowing you to feel energised with a new sense of vigour.

Hypnotherapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common, albeit distressing condition. It is where anxiety is heightened to a level that you can experience obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours.

Obsessive thoughts can materialise as images worries or doubts that repeatedly appear in your mind. Compulsions are repetitive activities that you do to reduce the anxiety caused by these obsessions, for example constant hand washing or checking the door is locked. Hypnotherapy can help by reducing your overall anxiety levels, this in turn enables the obsession and compulsions to reduce leaving you more able to cope.

Hypnotherapy for pain management

Pain is a distressing feeling and is unique from person to person. Pain is usually referred to either being acute or chronic. Acute pain can be mild and fleeting or could be severe and last for weeks or even months. Chronic pain is a pain that is ongoing and lasts for longer than six months.

Often, we rely on pain medication to help us overcome the sensations of pain. Hypnotherapy can help by reducing our fear and anxiety to the pain and form new neural pathways, interrupting the pain signals to your brain. This then by default, aids a reduction in the need for pain medication.

Hypnotherapy for panic attacks

Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense anxiety, that can last anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour. They generate all the physical feelings of anxiety the racing heart, breathlessness, sweating and trembling but also gives a feeling of impending doom, like something bad is about to happen. The symptoms of panic attacks are not dangerous but can be extremely frightening. Hypnotherapy can help you reduce your overall anxiety and will help you to stop attacks in their tracks, allowing you to regain control.

Hypnotherapy to stop smoking

Smoking is the greatest single cause of premature death in the UK, so why do we start and why do we continue? Is it friends, habit or a perceived coping mechanism?

Your sub-conscious is telling you ‘It’s difficult to stop’ ‘It helps me cope’ ‘My nerves are bad’. This false internal chatter just makes you feel you still need that next cigarette, cigar or vape and makes you anxious to stop. In truth, smoking actually exacerbates anxiety and depression, so stopping smoking could help more than just your physical health.

So, if you are ready to stop smoking, hypnotherapy can help you by using positive suggestion and imagination and help you focus on your preferred smoke free future.

Hypnotherapy for stress

A small amount of stress can be good for us and it can motivate us to get things done. When stress starts to become more of a daily life feature, it can become chronic and start to impact us physically and mentally.

Stress is a response to a ‘threat’ situation, whereas anxiety is generally a reaction to the stress. Stress can give us similar feelings to anxiety, and just like with anxiety hypnotherapy can help you regain control and quiet a busy mind, giving the balance needed.

Hypnotherapy for weight management

Do you feel comfortable with food and are you at ease with your eating habits? Do you feel your emotions are at the heart of how you think and feel about food? Do you long to have a healthy relationship with food?

If all these questions resonate with you, then hypnotherapy can help you make more informed and measured choices, by giving you confidence and self-belief. This will encourage you to find the right influences from within, and help you make the changes you need to get the results you want.
