The triggers that cause anxiety are different for everyone and each individual will experience anxiety in a different way. Generally though, anxiety is experienced when you feel that you do not have the resources - personal or otherwise - to meet the demands being made on you. In other words you feel out of control or powerless to act.

Whether you’re employed, self-employed or unemployed, a mother looking after demanding children, a carer or a teenager finding your path in life, anxiety can take its toll and needs to be dealt with before it gets out of control.

Hypnotherapy can help you to relax deeply, easing the symptoms that are triggered by stress or anxiety. Implanting confidence-building suggestions while you are in a state of hypnosis will help you to respond to the world from a place of calm and confidence so that you are better equipped to deal with potentially stressful situations. Using NLP, you will learn powerful visualisation techniques that will help the feelings of  anxiety to diminish or even disappear altogether and it can programme in a new, more positive response to stress.

Sometimes and where possible, we will look at practical solutions to confront the problem causing the stress, at changing the environment or the situation. Where it is not possible to make such changes, the stress may be managed by using CBT to correct self-defeating thought patterns and alter your interpretation of the situation and how you feel about it.
