Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety?
Yes. Hypnotherapy can help relieve anxiety. We agree what you want to change and check how the work is helping in daily life. My evidence guide explains the research.
Anxiety & Stress
Help with anxiety and stress in Rugby
You might be keeping everything going and still feel on edge. I offer hypnotherapy in Rugby and online, working with the worry, tension and situations you want to change.
Work with the moments that trouble you
We start with what happens for you: preparing for every possibility, checking for reassurance or feeling tense when it’s time to rest. Hypnotherapy can help relieve anxiety. I use focused attention, imagery and suggestion to work with the feelings as well as the thoughts.
We might practise a difficult conversation or explore what an earlier experience means to you now. We also look at practical changes, such as a boundary at work or time to recover. The plan needs to fit your life.
Between sessions, we review what you notice in the situations you chose. That helps us decide what to continue or change.
A note from Adel
I know this one first-hand. I worked in operations through Brexit, when some of what I was asked to deliver simply wasn’t possible. It taught me about boundaries, trusting my heart, managing upwards and knowing when enough is enough. If that’s where you are, we’ll work on how you respond, and we’ll also look at what needs to change around you.
If you haven’t already, get chest pain, a racing heart or breathlessness checked by your GP, even if you think it’s anxiety.
Questions people ask
Do I have to talk about my past?
No. We start with what’s happening now. If an earlier experience matters, we can work with how it affects you today, with your agreement.
How many sessions will I need?
The number depends on what you need and how you’re getting on. I often suggest the optional six-session programme for anxiety and stress, with a review built in. Single sessions are also available. We decide together when to continue, adjust the plan or finish.
What if I’m looking for help with depression or low mood?
If you think you may have depression, speak to your GP. You can also refer yourself to NHS Talking Therapies in Coventry and Warwickshire. I don’t provide diagnosis or a depression treatment service.
