Anxiety

How this affects you

Anxiety can show up in many ways - not just in how you feel emotionally, but also in your body and daily habits. You might notice racing thoughts, constant worry, or a sense of dread that doesn’t seem to go away.

Physically, anxiety can bring on symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, tension, or an upset stomach. For some people, it also affects sleep - making it hard to drift off or stay asleep through the night.

Living with anxiety can make everyday situations feel overwhelming. It may become harder to concentrate, make decisions or feel at ease in social settings. You might notice a tendency to avoid certain places or activities. Over time, these patterns can impact your confidence and leave you feeling stuck.

The good news is that anxiety is manageable - and you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, learn tools to calm your mind and body, and gradually feel more in control. Whether you're dealing with occasional anxiety or it's affecting your day-to-day life, there is a way forward.

How I can help as an anxiety therapist

In our sessions we will work together to help you sharpen your focus, manage anxiety, overcome setbacks and unlock your potential.

Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and mindfulness I will support you to build mental resilience, motivation, and confidence - so you can feel your best, consistently and sustainably.

Performance anxiety

Whether you're an athlete, artist, musician, professional, or student, high performance often comes with pressure, self-doubt, or mental blocks.  Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy can be a really effective tool for managing performance anxiety - working together we can create change quite quickly.

Social anxiety

I understand how limiting and overwhelming social anxiety can feel: racing thoughts, fear of judgment, avoiding situations you long to enjoy.

As a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, I combine evidence-based CBT techniques with the power of hypnosis to help you break free from limiting beliefs, build confidence, and feel more at ease in social situations

Eco-anxiety, or anxiety about world events

Feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world?  Eco-anxiety and political stress are increasingly common. When the future feels uncertain, it's natural to feel anxious, helpless, or even hopeless.

As a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, I help you manage these intense emotions, regain a sense of balance, and reconnect with your values using a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and hypnotherapy.

We’ll build practical coping tools and shift unhelpful thought patterns—so you can face global challenges with clarity, calm, and purpose.
