Anxiety and stress go hand in hand if the stress isn’t managed and we don’t recognise the warning signs.

Anxiety can be a useful tool – it helps in a stressful situation by keeping us alert and ‘on the ball’

Unfortunately, when we are exposed to those stressful situations on a daily basis, our brains can get fixed on full alert. This leaves us feeling exhausted and unable to cope with our daily lives.

I’m not coping….

Decision making becomes difficult, when we are under stress, so we start to make the wrong choices, leading to a vicious circle of anxiety, poor nutrition, less exercise, and so on.

Sleep can suffer when we feel anxious, because we can’t still our thoughts for long. Sometimes this leads to a full blown panic attack, which is frightening and exhausting. There may be unwanted physical symptoms such as blushing, sweating, bloating, and perhaps even obsessive behaviours as in OCD.

We all manage stress in different ways

Recent events including COVID-19 have meant an increase in the level of stress that we are subject to on a daily basis. Whilst we are all experiencing these stresses, the effect on each of us is different.

Some may be able to manage, and some may find that anxiety has become an issue which they can no longer control.

I feel anxious all the time..

The way that stress shows itself is also different for everyone. For some it means an increase in physical tension. For others, a flare up of eczema or IBS.

Some of us become more angry, or tearful, fearful or unable to socialise. Unfortunately, these symptoms make it even harder to manage the anxiety, and that’s when we get stuck.

Help for anxiety is here

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool in helping to relieve that stress and to bring anxiety levels down, allowing us to get back in control of our thoughts and emotions and therefore our lives.

We can regain a feeling of calm confidence which has an effect on all areas of our lives.

Each session contains an element of talking – the ‘coaching section’ , followed by the hypnotherapy section, where I carefully use what you have told me to create the change you want.

Hypnosis brings about a very natural state of deep relaxation, very similar to daydreaming,  where the mind is focused and the subconscious is open to suggestion for your benefit.

Online Hypnotherapy for anxiety

Hypnotherapy delivered online has been shown to be just as effective as in person. In some cases, it’s even more effective.

Providing that you have a quiet safe space for an hour, we can work closely together to help you achieve your goals.

I use Zoom for my online sessions, which is secure and reliable.

You can make a booking by clicking this link. If this will be your first session with me, please select the Clarity Session.

You will receive a confirmation email with the zoom link and some tips to make the session go smoothly.

If you would like to talk to me before making a commitment to therapy for anxiety or anything else, please book a ‘Tell me More’ call which is free of charge and with no obligation.

I look forward to working with you.

Best Wishes,

Sally
