About me
I'm Hazel, a qualified and registered hypnotherapist based in Rochford, Essex, offering support online and in-person across the UK.
I specialise in helping people with:
Agoraphobia, Anxiety, and Panic
Anxiety can hit you in many ways. It can make everyday situations feel overwhelming and frightening. You may find yourself avoiding places, feeling trapped by fear, or caught in sudden waves of anxiety with thoughts spiralling.
If you are trapped inside your own home by waves of panic. I am here to listen and support you.
I am a former sufferer of anxiety attacks. I know the sudden, overwhelming wave of nausea, the physical distress, and the sheer desperation of feeling trapped without an easy escape. Your brain is stuck in survival mode. As a qualified, registered hypnotherapist providing anxiety support in Essex, an UK. I focus on helping people break the cycle of fear.
We use guided gradual exposure at your pace to help you regain control. This can be done through guided imagery, working towards real exposure once you feel ready. Some clients do not feel ready or confident enough to work face to face or online, therefore we can have our initial session on the telephone if this is something you prefer.
Sleep difficulties and Insomnia:
Sleep difficulties such as insomnia, waking in the night, or struggling to switch off are often linked with anxiety and stress, and can quickly become a cycle that affects daily life. I support clients experiencing these difficulties by drawing on hypnotherapy alongside CBT-I informed approaches to help break this cycle and restore more natural, restful sleep patterns. This can include sleep diary analysis and sleep restriction. Please book a free call for detailed information.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.

Session Fees & Support Options
I offer flexible and structured support so you can choose what feels right for you at your own pace.
Single sessions are £60.00. These are suitable if you prefer occasional support or want to take things one step at a time.
Structured 6-session support pathway: (£50 per session Block booking discount). This is the most effective option for agoraphobia and anxiety work, as it provides consistency and allows us to build trust, calm the nervous system, and create steady progress over time.
Sustained, Long-Term Support: Because agoraphobia takes time to fully untangle, you will never be rushed. After completing your initial 6-session pathway, any further sessions you need drop to a reduced rate of £45.00 per session. We can continue weekly or fortnightly for exactly as long as it takes to fully reclaim your freedom. You are never locked in, and you can move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you
