I specialise in helping clients overcome stress and anxiety to lead calm, happy, fulfilling lives.

What is Anxiety? Anxiety can be defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness or unease about something with an uncertain outcome, and is an over-response to a perceived threat. In other words, getting wound up about something that hasn’t happened and might not happen. If you suffer from anxiety, you probably feel on edge, restless, have trouble concentrating, dwell on negative thoughts and experiences and imagine lots of worst case scenarios.

Anxiety can also cause a seemingly disparate range of physical symptoms such as raised blood pressure, headaches, nausea, insomnia, palpitations and even needing to wee more frequently. Anxiety can be triggered by emotional turmoil, relationship pressures and life upheavals but it’s also a behaviour which is learned from our past experiences. Some drugs and medication can exacerbate anxiety.

How can you help me overcome my anxiety?  I use a number of cognitive and behavioural approaches both pre and during hypnosis to help clients overcome their anxiety.  I also teach self-care and coping skills to ensure that clients can remain calm and  confident when faced with challenging and unexpected situations in the future.
