working with anxiety at this practice combines clinical hypnotherapy, nervous-system regulation, EMDR-informed processing. That combination is deliberate: it lets change land at the level the problem is actually stored, not only at the level of thoughts.
What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
Address the driver
Using clinical hypnotherapy and, where useful, nervous-system regulation, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- 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
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 4
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.

Questions people ask us
Can hypnotherapy really change chronic anxiety?+
From the Little Eaton caseload, 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.
Is this suitable for high-functioning anxiety?+
Especially so. High-functioning anxiety often hides behind competence; this work targets the driver rather than the visible symptom.
How is anxiety therapy structured?+
The first session maps what's happening. From session two onwards we regulate first, process what's underneath, and rewire the pattern with hypnosis.
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 work with teenagers?+
Occasionally, from around 16, if the young person genuinely wants to attend. Under-16s are referred on to specialist services.
