Do I need an IBS diagnosis first?
Yes. Have ongoing gut symptoms medically assessed before assuming they are IBS. Speak with your GP about new or changing symptoms, even if you already have a diagnosis.
IBS-Related Stress
Hypnotherapy for IBS-related stress in Rugby
When worry about IBS starts planning your day, it deserves attention too. I offer hypnotherapy in Rugby and online for anxiety around diagnosed IBS, alongside your medical care.
Make room for the plans that matter to you
We choose a situation you want more freedom in: a meal out, a journey or a meeting. We separate useful preparation from repeated checks driven by worry, keeping the practical arrangements you need.
In hypnosis, relaxation, imagery and suggestion help us work with the anxious prediction and your response. I won’t ask you to ignore symptoms or medical advice.
We review the anticipation, checking and your ability to take part. This service focuses on IBS-related stress. It does not diagnose or treat the bowel condition and is not a structured gut-directed treatment programme.
My service does not diagnose IBS or offer treatment for the bowel condition itself. Keep appropriate medical care in place and speak with your GP about new, severe, changing or unexplained symptoms.
Questions people ask
Is this gut-directed hypnotherapy?
No. This service focuses on anxiety, stress and responses around diagnosed IBS. It is not a structured gut-directed treatment programme. The research guide distinguishes that treatment evidence from the support offered here.
Does stress mean the symptoms are imaginary?
No. IBS symptoms are real. Worry and symptoms can affect one another, but that does not establish a single cause. Your healthcare team remains responsible for assessment and medical treatment.
