There are several recognised types of anxiety disorders, the charity MIND be classifies them as:

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) which is a disorder that involves excessive worry over non-specific events and/or situations
• Panic disorder – sudden attacks of intense terror and apprehension
• Social Anxiety Disorder – fear of being negatively judged by others
• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) anxiety from a previous trauma. Often leads to flashbacks.
• Specific Phobias -sudden attacks of intense terror and apprehension;
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) – compulsive thoughts, behaviours or actions that are repetitive in nature;
• Health Anxiety – Obsessing about health, assuming any ache or pain is something serious, and researching symptoms and ailments

The good news is that whatever the nature of your anxiety and whatever the causes and triggers – anxiety has a proven track record in responding very well to Advanced Hypnotherapy, N.L.P. and Mindfulness. Using a combination of these therapies – you can have the resources to feel calm, confident, in control and feel more optimistic about the future.

The subconscious is the part of the mind that stores all your experiences with associated emotions, learned habits, limiting beliefs and behaviours. It’s also the part that is responsible for protecting us. The emotion that drives anxiety is fear, so anxiety is a natural response because your subconscious is protecting you from a perceived danger. The trouble is, it’s as though the “red alert” signal is set to go off at a very low and inappropriate level.

Hypnosis is a perfect state for discovery and learning. It enables you to communicate with the subconscious, to reset the red alert signal to a more healthy level. You can discover and release what was driving your anxious state and replace old habits of thinking and unwanted responses with useful thought and behaviour patterns. You practice these new and preferred ways of thinking and behaving by listening to the recordings which are provided, repetition reinforces the therapy.

The process is safe, effective, enjoyable and really quite empowering for you. It’s a source of immense satisfaction to me when client’s leave feeling free from those old, unwanted fears and responses that restricted their enjoyment of life in the past.

My approach is open, friendly and empathetic, you can be at ease to be yourself and there’s plenty of time allocated to each client so that we can complete whatever it is that needs addressing at each session. I work in a logical, methodical way with sensitivity, at a pace and using methods which suits you.

Of course life will still throw challenges your way but you’ll be more able to deal with them in a much more calm and resourceful way.

I’d love to hear from you so we can talk about how I may help you make the changes that matter to you. I’m happy to explain more over the phone on 07754180049 or you can complete the contact form.

In the cave-man times we had an internal alarm system designed to protect us from the dangers surrounding us in the wild. When faced with danger this system gave us a boost of adrenaline, increasing the heart rate and boosting the amount of oxygen to our limbs so we were better able to fight or run from danger.

Instead of being used to avoid immediate danger, this system is sometimes inappropriately activated during normal, everyday situations.
