Anxiety

Anxiety, (including phobias and panic) is probably the most common issue I have helped people with over the years.

We have all experienced the emotion of fear at some point and this is normal. Fear is an immediate response to an external, identifiable threat, typically short-lived and subsides when the threat is removed. Anxiety is a state, rather than temporary emotion and is often related to potential or perceived threats. It can often be about future events or uncertainties, e.g., worrying about the presentation you have to do next month.

I have experienced my own battles with anxiety in the past and so have understanding of how uncomforable it can feel and how it can affect every area of life. As I have found, anxiety does not need to prevent us from living the life we choose. Whether you've been battling it for years or months, there is a way to break free from paralyzing anxiety and start to live again

When I work with people to help treat anxiety I like to start with education. Many of us feel ashamed of anxiety and others have been misinformed, seeing anxiety as dangerous and to be avoided at all costs, but this only hightens our anxiety.

Anxiety is triggered by neural pathways, but what has been learned can be unlearned as our brains are continually learning. I have a variety of evidence based and effective tools that treat anxiety, including hypnotherapy. visualisation, breathwork, CBT, EFT/energy work and somatics. These tools help to rewire the neural pathways in the brain to stop triggering anxiety.

I help clients to become adept at regulating their nervous systems to stay in a calm state more of the time. All clients also have access to my "client resources" area on my website, which includes access to free Hypnotherapy downloads.
