Common questions from Kedleston Road
How is anxiety therapy structured?+
A common one from Kedleston Road: The first session maps what's happening. From session two onwards we regulate first, process what's underneath, and rewire the pattern with hypnosis.
Do you prescribe medication?+
No. Medication is a matter for your GP, and this work sits alongside it — never against it.
Can hypnotherapy really change chronic anxiety?+
Yes — because it works at the level the anxiety runs on, not just the thoughts. That's why it often outperforms pure talking therapy for long-standing worry.
How quickly might I feel a difference?+
Most people notice a shift by session three or four; deeper work usually lands inside six to ten sessions.
Do you treat panic disorder specifically?+
Yes. Panic responds well to a combination of nervous-system regulation, hypnotherapy and a small piece of EMDR-informed work if there is a triggering memory.
How sessions run
- Step 1
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 2
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
