Heal Anxiety - Hypnotherapy & Other Tools that Work

ANXIETY

Anxiety and depression have become almost endemic in our modern world. What may have once felt like background stress — that constant hum of pressure — can quietly build until it erupts into full-blown anxiety.

You might notice your body sounding the alarm: a racing heart, tight belly, dry mouth, trouble sleeping. Everyday situations that never used to phase you — a crowded train, a call centre queue, a demanding boss — now feel overwhelming. It’s not that life got harder; it’s that your system is maxed out.

What’s Really Happening?

At its core, anxiety is your body stuck in “fight or flight” mode. The nervous system, flooded with adrenaline and cortisol, is primed to run from a threat — even when that threat is an email, not a tiger.

Over time, this can become a feedback loop: you feel anxious, then feel anxious about feeling anxious. For many, anxiety stems from trauma, chronic stress, or overwhelming life conditions. For others, it’s hardwired — a genetic or personality-based sensitivity to threat.

How Hypnotherapy Breaks the Cycle

Hypnotherapy can be an incredibly effective tool for anxiety — because it works directly with the unconscious mind. That’s where your triggers live. That’s where automatic patterns form. And that’s where deep, lasting change can begin.

In a relaxed, trance-like state, I help you rewire your nervous system — teaching the body how to switch off the fight-or-flight response and access calm. Through gentle, targeted suggestions, we can install new habits of safety, regulation, and ease.

This isn’t just mental. These changes affect your neural pathways, your neurotransmitters, and your physiological responses. Within the trance state, we can also connect with the part of you that feels anxious — the inner child, protector, or wounded self — and offer it what it needs. This internal dialogue can create profound emotional relief and deep healing.

Tools We Use: EMDR & NLP

Once we’ve identified your specific triggers — whether it’s public speaking, flying, a phobia, or trauma — we may integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) or NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

• EMDR is powerful for trauma. It helps separate the emotional charge from a distressing memory so you can move forward without reliving it.

• NLP helps retrain your brain to respond differently to triggering events. It’s imaginative, practical, and often surprisingly enjoyable.

Releasing Anxiety from the Body

Anxiety lives in the body. Maybe yours feels like a tight knot in the belly, a spinning sensation in the chest, or nausea that won’t pass. Through body-based awareness techniques, we’ll locate where you hold the tension — and learn how to gently release it.

Clients often describe the sensation as “a spring uncoiling” or “pressure lifting.” I’ll also teach you techniques to monitor and regulate this area yourself — giving you tools to stay in control, long after the session ends.

Trancework & Inner Healing

A Holistic Approach

I work with you holistically. That means looking at lifestyle, diet, sleep, and potential medical factors. Are you consuming too much caffeine? Did you know SIBO overgrowth and Pyrroles cause anxiety? Could your medications be contributing to your symptoms?

You are not broken. Your anxiety is a response — not a flaw. And with the right support, it’s entirely possible to retrain your nervous system, create new patterns, and feel like yourself again.
