Hypnosis for anxiety offers a gentle and effective method for individuals to explore unconscious patterns while facilitating relaxation, calm and stress reduction.

Anxiety

Struggling with anxiety in today’s fast-paced world is increasingly common. The surge in anxiety has been exacerbated by factors like COVID lockdowns, along with high expectations in all areas of our lives from caring for our families and succeeding at work to keeping up with our health and fitness routines.

I see anxiety as a natural response, our body’s way of safeguarding us and something we can manage with the right help and practices.

How I work with clients struggling with anxiety

Through a blend of hypnotherapy and coaching, rooted in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I work with clients to:

better understand anxiety and its origins
overcome the struggle with anxiety and anxious thoughts and feelings
better understand their triggers and thought patterns that lead to anxiety

I teach my clients a range of effective tools that can be used throughout their lives when they face challenges and situations that might otherwise trigger their anxiety. Where appropriate, I teach clients self-hypnosis so they can practice self-soothing in the comfort of their own homes.

Digestive issues/IBS

I specialise in addressing the root causes of digestive concerns by exploring the intricate connection between the mind and gut.

Working together with my clients, we look into what triggers digestive and IBS symptoms and explore the role of the mind-gut axis in these issues. Through a combination of hypnotherapy, education, and coaching, I guide clients towards understanding and addressing the underlying factors contributing to their discomfort.

I prioritise creating a profound sense of safety within body and mind. This nurturing environment becomes the foundation for healing. I understand that a safe space is essential for healing the mind and body.

For a deeper understanding of my hypnotherapy approach, particularly in addressing the relationship between anxiety and digestive issues, I invite you to explore my blog.

Hypnosis for IBS and digestive issues can provide relief, by targeting the mind-body connection, helping individuals manage symptoms and reduce stress-related digestive discomfort.

Chronic Pain

Empower yourself in overcoming chronic pain. When traditional medical solutions fall short in addressing your pain, my specialised approach focuses on chronic pain and autonomic nervous system disorders.

I work specifically with neuroplastic pain, also known as Mind-Body Syndrome (MBS) or Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS). Neuroplastic pain is an understanding that chronic pain in the body can be triggered by unnecessary danger signals; what I like to describe as a false alarm set off by the brain, in an attempt to keep us safe.

In my work I recognise that psychological factors, emotions, and stress can contribute to real physical pain. I believe that in some people (myself included) the brain amplifies or creates pain signals as a response to emotional or psychological stressors, even in the absence of significant physical injury.To help clients experiencing neuroplastic pain, I use a combination of:

hypnotherapy
education and coaching
mindfulness
pain reprocessing and
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

Following a medical diagnosis of no structural injuries or issues, a mind-body approach can be highly effective in reducing or eliminating pain from these conditions.

Hypnosis helps rebuild healthier brain pathways, providing relief and regaining control over your life. It fosters a sense of calm and safety.

This video explains neuroplastic pain and my approach to working with clients.  You can also find more information in my blog article “Healing Chronic Pain – Understanding Mind Body Syndrome (MBS)”.

Building Confidence

Building confidence isn’t about fixing you — it’s about understanding what’s been getting in the way and working with it, together. Confidence often drops when your system has learned to stay small or careful, even when that’s no longer needed.

We’ll work as a team, using both coaching and hypnotherapy to support change at the right pace for you. Coaching helps us make sense of what’s happening in your everyday life, while hypnosis allows us to work with the deeper patterns that influence how safe it feels to speak up, be seen, or trust your choices.

As we go, confidence starts to feel less like something you have to prove and more like something you settle into. You may notice yourself responding differently, feeling steadier in yourself, and less knocked around by doubt or outside opinions.

Goal Setting

Setting goals can feel lonely when you’re doing it on your own. When pressure, uncertainty or fear creep in, it’s easy to stall or give up. This is where working together makes a real difference.

We’ll clarify what matters to you and shape goals that fit your life, your values, and your capacity. Coaching gives structure and direction, while hypnotherapy supports the parts of you that might tighten up around change or success. If resistance shows up, we work with it rather than pushing through.

You won’t be left to figure things out alone. We’ll adjust, refine and pace things together so progress feels supportive, not stressful. Over time, taking action feels more natural and less like a constant inner battle.

Overcoming Self-Doubt

Self-doubt can feel incredibly personal, but it’s often a learned response and something that developed for a reason. In our work together, we approach it with curiosity and kindness rather than judgement.

Through hypnotherapy, we gently work with the subconscious beliefs and emotional responses that keep self-doubt running in the background. Coaching helps us notice how those doubts show up in daily life and how they affect your choices and confidence.

The aim isn’t to get rid of doubt altogether, but to loosen its grip so it no longer runs the show. Together, we build your ability to trust yourself, make decisions with more ease, and keep moving forward — even when uncertainty is present.

Blood Sugar & Diabetes Support

Living with blood sugar challenges or Type 2 diabetes can feel overwhelming and, at times, discouraging and trying to make positive changes and stick with them day to day and into the long term can be difficult.

 

I work alongside your medical care to support lifestyle changes such as nutrition, healthy movement, stress regulation, sleep, and self-care. Coaching and hypnotherapy are used to help reduce overwhelm, calm the nervous system, and embed changes in a way that feels realistic and sustainable, rather than driven by pressure or perfection.

 

This approach is not about quick fixes or rigid rules, but about supporting your body and nervous system so healthier choices become easier to maintain over time.

PCOS Support

As someone who was diagnosed with and has recovered from PCOS, I deeply understand how it can affect many areas of life — from hormones and cycles to energy levels, weight, mood, and self-confidence. Managing PCOS often involves ongoing lifestyle adjustments, which can feel frustrating or overwhelming without the right support.

I offer coaching and hypnotherapy to support lifestyle changes that align with your needs and goals. This may include stress management, nervous system regulation, sleep, movement, or nutritional support. Rather than focusing on willpower, we work with your nervous system to reduce self-blame and create changes that feel more gentle and sustainable.

This work is designed to complement, not replace, medical care — helping you feel more supported and less alone as you navigate PCOS.

Lifestyle Change

Many people know what they want to change, but find it hard to follow through — especially when stress, hectic schedules, emotional patterns or past experiences get in the way.

 

Through coaching and hypnotherapy, I help you understand the patterns that influence your habits and decisions, so change feels less like a battle and more like a natural progression. This may include working with your stress responses, improving habits, building confidence, mindset adjustment, and nervous system regulation.

 

Lifestyle change doesn’t need to be about pushing harder or being more disciplined but rather creating supportive internal conditions so change can happen more gently and sustainably.
