Fears | Anxiety | Panic | Phobias | Stress | Burnout | Emotional Dysregulation

Hello

If you’re struggling with fear, anxiety, or stress, and finding that it’s beginning to stop you from living the life you want and deserve, or you may have already tried different approaches without getting the lasting change you were hoping for.

Sometimes, the answer isn’t another single technique or approach. An integrative approach can bring together different therapeutic methods, carefully selected around you, your experiences and what you want to achieve.

Rather than trying to fit you into a standard programme, we can explore what may be keeping you stuck and consider which combination of approaches may be most appropriate for you.

Understanding Anxiety and Stress
For some people, anxiety develops gradually through prolonged stress, repeated experiences or periods of overwhelm. For others, it may be connected to a particular event, relationship, childhood experience or difficult period in life.

You may look perfectly fine on the outside while internally feeling exhausted from managing anxiety, panic, intrusive worries, physical symptoms or fear.

Perhaps you worry about having another panic attack. You may constantly monitor your body for signs that something is wrong, feel frightened by sensations that you once barely noticed, or find yourself avoiding situations because you are worried about what might happen.

You may have stopped driving, travelling, going to supermarkets or restaurants, attending social situations, or visiting places where you feel you might not be able to escape easily.

And even when you know logically that you are safe, your mind and body can continue to respond as though you are in danger.

If anxiety, panic or fear has begun to restrict your life, this is where I can help.

The NeuroH Method
I have developed The NeuroH Method as a personalised, integrative approach for people experiencing anxiety, panic, phobias, agoraphobia, stress and emotional overwhelm.

Clinical hypnotherapy is at the core of my work, alongside carefully selected therapeutic techniques chosen according to your individual circumstances, needs and goals.

Rather than simply treating a symptom or following a predetermined programme, we explore the patterns that may be maintaining your difficulties. These can include thoughts, emotions, learned responses, physical sensations, behaviours and avoidance.

The aim is to help you develop a different relationship with these responses, so that anxiety and fear have less influence over the choices you make and the life you live.

Where appropriate, I may also use content-free approaches, meaning that you do not necessarily have to repeatedly describe or relive distressing experiences in order to work towards change.

For some people, change can begin relatively quickly. Others may benefit from longer-term support, particularly where difficulties are longstanding or more complex. There is no predetermined number of sessions.

My approach is warm, friendly, professional and non-judgemental. I believe that every person is different, and that effective therapy should be personalised rather than based on a rigid, one-size-fits-all programme.

Your wellbeing and sense of safety are always central to the work.

The techniques I use are always considered in the context of the individual rather than applied automatically.

A Personalised Approach
There is no single explanation for why someone experiences anxiety.

For one person, it may have developed through prolonged stress. For another, it may follow a particular experience, relationship, period of difficulty or learned pattern that has continued over time.

We will explore what is happening for you, what you would like to change and what you hope to achieve.

I do not believe that therapy should create dependency. My aim is to help you develop greater confidence in your own ability to cope, make choices and move forward.

I have studied at the NCH-approved Surrey College of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy and Swansea University.

My wider professional background allows me to draw from a range of approaches rather than relying on one technique for every person.

I work with clients throughout the UK online and also offer 1:1 sessions in West and South West Wales.

Your First Step
Free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone consultation
I understand that asking for help can feel daunting, particularly if you have been struggling for a long time.

Before committing to therapy, we can talk about:

What you are experiencing
How it is affecting your life
What you would like to change
What you hope to achieve
Whether my approach is suitable for you
There is no pressure to book therapy.

The consultation is simply an opportunity to ask questions, be heard and explore whether we may be a good fit.

If we decide to work together, your first therapy session includes a full personalised assessment. This gives us the opportunity to understand your symptoms, patterns, triggers, experiences and goals before deciding on an appropriate way forward.

Moving Towards Greater Calm, Confidence & Freedom
My goal is to help you move towards greater calm, confidence, choice and freedom, so that anxiety, worry and fear no longer have to dictate the life you live.

Individual experiences and outcomes vary, and no particular result can be guaranteed. Where appropriate, I may recommend seeking additional support from your GP or another suitably qualified healthcare professional.

Free 20-Minute Consultation

Purely focused therapeutic experience designed to help you release stress, dissolve limiting beliefs, and gain clarity. Many clients leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control, even after just one session.

90-Minute Premium Session
A deeper dive into what’s been causing distress or unhappiness in your life, an unrushed journey into your mind and emotions. Through the power of rapid  and additional therapies, we gently release emotional blocks, reframe limiting beliefs, and create space for clarity, calm, and renewed confidence.  The value in this approach is time

I work with a limited number of clients each week, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized guidance while ensuring a balanced, mindful approach that supports your well-being throughout our work together.

Hypnosis – Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and deep relaxation. During hypnosis, you may become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and imagination, making it easier to consider positive changes and therapeutic suggestions.

What does hypnosis feel like?
Everyone experiences hypnosis differently. You may feel deeply relaxed, calm and comfortable, while still being aware of what is happening. Some people describe it as similar to daydreaming or becoming completely absorbed in a good book or film.

Am I in control during hypnosis?
Yes. You remain in control throughout the session. Hypnosis does not take away your ability to think, make decisions or choose whether to accept a suggestion.

Can I be made to do something against my will?
No. Hypnosis is not mind control. You cannot be forced to do something that goes against your values or wishes simply because you are hypnotised.

Will I be asleep?
No. Although you may feel extremely relaxed, hypnosis is not sleep. You can hear the therapist and respond if you wish.

Will I remember what happens?
Usually, yes. Most people remember the session. You remain conscious and aware, although you may become so relaxed and absorbed that some parts of the experience feel less important or vivid afterwards.

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?
No. You cannot become permanently stuck in hypnosis. It is a temporary state, and you can naturally come out of it whenever you need to.

Can everyone be hypnotised?
Most people can experience hypnosis to some degree. However, everyone's experience is different. Being willing to participate and allowing yourself to become relaxed and focused can make the experience easier.

Do I have to believe in hypnosis for it to work?
No. You don't have to "believe" in hypnosis. Having an open mind and being willing to participate is generally more important than having a particular belief about hypnosis.

Is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is generally considered a gentle and non-invasive therapeutic technique when carried out appropriately by a suitably trained practitioner. Your practitioner should discuss your individual circumstances and whether hypnosis is appropriate for you.

What can hypnotherapy help with?
People seek hypnotherapy for a wide variety of goals, including confidence, relaxation, stress management, unwanted habits, fears and phobias, sleep difficulties and making positive behavioural changes. Suitability varies from person to person.

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Some people may feel they have achieved their goal after a small number of sessions, while others may benefit from additional support. Your practitioner can discuss this with you based on your individual circumstances and goals.

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?
Your session will normally begin with a conversation about what you would like to achieve. Your practitioner may then guide you into a comfortable, relaxed and focused state before using appropriate therapeutic techniques and suggestions. The session will finish with you being guided back to your normal level of alertness.

Can I talk while I'm hypnotised?
Yes. You can speak and communicate during hypnosis. You don't have to remain silent or completely still.

What if I don't go into a deep trance?
Hypnosis doesn't have to feel dramatic or extremely deep to be useful. People experience different levels of relaxation and focus, and your practitioner can adapt the session to you.

Is hypnotherapy the same as stage hypnosis?
No. Stage hypnosis is primarily entertainment. Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach designed around an individual's personal goals and circumstances.

Will the hypnotherapist have control over my mind?
No. A hypnotherapist guides you through the process, but you remain an active participant. Hypnosis does not give the practitioner control over your mind.

Can hypnosis change my personality?
Hypnosis is not about changing who you are. The aim of hypnotherapy is generally to help you make changes that you have chosen for yourself and that support your wellbeing and goals.

Can hypnosis bring back forgotten memories?
Hypnosis should not be regarded as a reliable way of recovering accurate memories. Memories can be incomplete or change over time, and suggestions can sometimes influence recollection. A responsible practitioner should take care with any work involving memories.

Can I hypnotise myself?
Some people learn self-hypnosis techniques to support relaxation, focus and personal goals. A trained practitioner can teach you techniques that you may be able to practise independently.

What should I do before my hypnosis session?
Generally, you simply need to arrive comfortable and prepared to participate. It can be helpful to avoid rushing immediately beforehand and to discuss any concerns or questions with your practitioner.

What if I fall asleep during hypnosis?
It can happen, particularly if you are very relaxed or tired. Your practitioner can usually guide you through the session and gently bring you back to full alertness at the end.

Can hypnosis work if I am sceptical?
Yes. You don't need to be completely convinced about hypnosis beforehand. Many people are simply curious or unsure when they attend their first session. You can approach the experience with an open mind and see how it feels for you.

How quickly will I notice a difference?
This varies considerably. Some people notice changes quickly, while for others change develops gradually through repeated sessions and practice. Results can depend on the individual, the goal and their circumstances.

Is hypnotherapy suitable for everyone?
Not necessarily. Your practitioner should consider your individual circumstances and whether hypnotherapy is appropriate. Hypnotherapy should not be presented as a replacement for necessary medical or psychological care.

What if I'm nervous about trying hypnosis?
That's completely understandable. Many people have questions or concerns before their first session, particularly if their only experience of hypnosis has been through television, films or stage performances. Your practitioner should take the time to explain the process, answer your questions and make sure you feel comfortable before proceeding. You should never feel pressured to take part.
