Questions people ask us
How is anxiety therapy structured?+
Working with Swadlincote clients, 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 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 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.
Can I be seen without going through a GP?+
Yes. You can self-refer directly. A free 15-minute intro call is the usual first step.
Will I lose control under hypnosis?+
No. Clinical hypnosis is a focused, awake state — closer to guided attention than sleep. You stay fully in charge.

What actually happens in a session
- 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
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 4
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
