Clinical Hypnotherapy for Anxiety Relief Breaking the Stigma

​Anxiety is a key feature of social disorders such as obsessive disorder and specific phobias to name a few. Most people feel anxious from time to time.  Anxiety can get in the way of many life situations. From social anxiety disorders to panic attacks, post-traumatic stress or phobias, the symptoms of anxiety can vary considerably from person to person and this is exactly why our clients are always treated as individuals. We all encounter anxiety at various times in our lives, which is a natural reaction to stress, uncertainty, or new experiences. However, for some individuals, anxiety can impact daily living. Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health issues, believed to affect about 30% of people at some stage in their lives. As humans, we have evolved mechanisms for self-protection. One such mechanism is the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ response. When our brain detects a threat, it releases hormones to prepare us to flee, fight, or freeze. For many, this response is triggered even when no physical danger exists. Although these anxiety symptoms can be extremely intense, they vary greatly among people, including social anxiety disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and phobias. This is why we provide each client with a personalised treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. Since anxiety can stem from various underlying causes, it is crucial to customize treatments for each person, as a single approach may not work for everyone.
