Hypnotherapy for Stress & Emotional Wellbeing

Ongoing pressure can affect mood, energy and relationships. Hypnotherapy may help you relax, process difficult feelings and develop practical ways of coping.

Hypnotherapy may help with this, but I do not claim it cures medical conditions. We will always talk through whether it is a suitable approach for you.

When pressure builds up

Ongoing pressure can affect mood, energy, sleep and relationships. Work demands, caring responsibilities, money worries, or a run of difficult events can leave you feeling overwhelmed, tense or emotionally drained.

How hypnotherapy may help

Hypnotherapy may help you relax, process difficult feelings and develop practical ways of coping. Deep relaxation can give your mind and body a break from constant alertness, and many people find the techniques useful to practise between sessions.

A collaborative approach

Every person’s stress is different, so there is no set script. At your consultation we talk about what is weighing on you, how it shows up and what you would like to change. We then agree an approach together. As a registered mental health nurse, I also keep an eye on whether additional support, such as from your GP, might help.

Looking after yourself

Therapy works best alongside the basics: regular sleep, movement, time outdoors and connection with people you trust. If stress is affecting your health or you are struggling to cope, please speak to your GP. In an emergency, call 999 or Samaritans free on 116 123.

Common questions

Is stress the same as anxiety?

They overlap. Stress is usually a response to pressure, while anxiety can continue even when the pressure has gone. We will talk through what you are experiencing at your consultation.

What happens if I do not want to continue?

You can stop at any time. There is no pressure.

What to expect

Sessions take place online by secure video, on Thursdays, and last around 45 to 55 minutes. Your first consultation is free and confidential. We talk through what brings you to therapy and whether hypnotherapy is right for you. You stay awake, aware and in control throughout.
