Anxiety is a normal and natural response to stress, danger, or a perceived threat. Anxiety can range from mild to severe and can be temporary or chronic.
While some level of anxiety is a normal and healthy response to stressful situations, excessive or persistent anxiety can become problematic and interfere with daily life. In such cases, anxiety can be classified as a mental health disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or social anxiety disorder, among others. These conditions can be treated through therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
Stress and anxiety affect more and more people every year and leads to a situation where they are unable to cope in life as a direct result of high levels of stress. High levels of stress and anxiety can lead to other health problems such as poor sleep, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), panic attacks, phobias, OCD, or migraines.
Many people suffer unnecessarily in silence, without realising that there is a simple help at hand. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy sessions are positive, relaxing, and highly effective in lowering high levels of stress and helping clients cope better.

| How can Hypnotherapy help with anxiety? |
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool in helping to manage anxiety.
During a hypnotherapy session, I will guide you into a relaxed state of mind, similar to a meditative state. This relaxed state will help you access your subconscious mind, which is where the roots of anxiety may be rooted. We will then work together to explore and reframe your unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about anxiety and reducing the power and impact it has on your life.
Hypnotherapy can also be used to teach relaxation techniques and coping mechanisms for managing anxiety. I can teach you self-hypnosis or guided imagery exercises that can be used to calm the mind and body during times of anxiety or stress.
During the sessions you can learn about how anxiety and stress are created and why it is so easy to fall in the vicious circle that it is so difficult to break. By understanding the brain science and the mechanism of anxiety you can also prevent anxiety from building up and troubling you in the future.
Overall, hypnotherapy can help anyone with anxiety by providing a safe and supportive space to explore and work through their anxiety. It can also provide tools and techniques to manage and reduce anxiety symptoms, leading to a better quality of life.
