Are anxious thoughts and feelings affecting your daily life? Maybe you’re feeling anxious about something specific, or maybe it’s more all-encompassing like Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), or panic, or even Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These issues are very common and can be extremely distressing. With the right approach for you it is completely possible for you to overcome anxiety and regain a sense of calm.
It’s normal for people to experience a slight feeling of anxiety and worry from time to time in response to stress and uncertainly. However, when anxiety becomes too frequent or too intense it can have a major impact on your life.
Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of anxiety issues from mild to severe, from specific anxieties and fears such as about an upcoming event, like an exam or interview, to the most extreme forms of anxiety disorders, and fears and phobias.
I am an experienced hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety issues of all kinds, in Luton, Harpenden, and through online hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT Tapping. Having experienced prolonged severe anxiety myself many years ago, I can understand the difficulties you may be experiencing. I offer a tailored approach to help you overcome your anxiety and take back control of your life.
Experiencing Anxiety?
If you are experiencing any kind of anxiety, whether it’s frequent and overwhelming, or just about specific situations, or linked to specific fears, I can help you overcome your issues.
Tailored Anxiety Treatment Plan
I use a personalised, client focused approach, combining hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT Tapping and other tools and techniques to address the root causes of your anxiety. I will also teach you techniques to use on yourself so that you can feel more empowered and in control. With my tailored anxiety treatment, I aim not just to help you to manage your symptoms, but to get to the root of what’s causing your anxiety and to help you to create lasting positive changes in your mindset and your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety can be defined as a feeling of unease, fear or worry which can range from mild to severe. It arises when in your mind you perceive something that you are faced with as a threat in some way, which sets off the fear responses in your brain (fight, flight or freeze) although the threat that your mind perceives might not always be obvious to you at the time, or it may seem irrational, or you may be fearing undesirable happenings that you want to avoid.
Symptoms of Anxiety
There are many ways that people can experience anxiety, mentally, emotionally and physically. Anxiety symptoms that you may experience can include:
- Feeling “on edge”
- A sense of dread
- Excessive worrying
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Rapid heartbeat
- Muscle tension
- Sweating
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleeping difficulties
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Pins and needles
Common Types of Anxiety
Anxiety can take many forms, for example:
- Social anxiety
- Performance anxiety
- Specific fears or phobias
- Health anxiety
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
- Anxiety about driving
You may experience any combination of the above. Anxiety can also be a symptom of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Anxiety and Depression
It’s common for people to experience anxiety and depression in the same period of time, or daily worry and anxiety may lead to depression.
Anxiety and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
If you have been suffering from anxiety for a long time you may have developed a digestive issue such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and this can also be helped with anxiety treatment.
Hypnotherapy for Anxiety
Hypnotherapy has been proven to be highly effective for dealing with anxiety issues. Hypnosis can be wonderfully relaxing and can help you to reduce feelings and symptoms of anxiety and stress, and help you to take back control of your life. Hypnotherapy for anxiety can help you to overcome fears and worries, change negative thought patterns and behaviours, and help you to feel calm, more empowered and in control.
When combined with other techniques that I use such as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Time Line Therapy (a powerful NLP technique) the effectiveness and benefits are enhanced.
Anxiety Treatment with Hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT Tapping
I specialise in helping you to overcome anxiety using a blend of hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) which I tailor to suit you, and I give you a range of techniques to help yourself too, which means you will have your own way of helping yourself be calm and in control.
