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.
The approach in practice
- Step 1
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 2
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- Step 3
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.

Common questions from Normanton
Do you offer online sessions?+
From the Normanton caseload, Yes — secure video sessions across the UK, using the same integrative approach.
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.
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.
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.
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.
