Before you get in touch
How quickly might I feel a difference?+
Working with Repton clients, Most people notice a shift by session three or four; deeper work usually lands inside six to ten sessions.
Do you prescribe medication?+
No. Medication is a matter for your GP, and this work sits alongside it — never against it.
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.
What if I cry or feel overwhelmed in session?+
That's completely normal and welcome. The pace is set with you, never done to you.
What if I have tried CBT before and it didn't help?+
Many clients arrive after CBT. The AIP approach adds body-based and hypnotic work so change doesn't have to happen through thinking alone.
How sessions run
- 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
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
