Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can make you feel anxious about almost everything and anything from your health, finances, work to relationships - leaving you feeling anxious everyday about a multiple of things and when you're suffering with GAD you may find it very difficult to take control of your worries too, so the anxious thoughts and feelings holds you back from living your life the way you want. The good news is, that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you in reducing these debilitating symptoms and put you back in control so you can get the real you back again.
Many of us are familiar with the uncomfortable symptoms of anxiety. Generalised Anxiety Disorder happens when these natural reactions to life's stresses come to dominate your life. You feel anxious most or all of the time and may not remember the last period when you felt at ease. It's a common condition, as the relentless nature of today's life can leave you feeling overwhelmed and constantly vigilant. A hormone imbalance, traumatic experiences in the past and/or ongoing lifestyle or health issues can also contribute to these unpleasant symptoms. Though challenging, the symptoms of GAD are treatable, and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is rapidly being recognised as an effective intervention.
GAD shares its symptoms with anxiety:
In GAD however, you experience these symptoms most or all of the time over an extended period. This ongoing state can cause:
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be an effective therapy for GAD by reducing anxiety and encouraging a more positive, 'thrive' mindset.
By understanding the brain's processes around stress and anxiety you can start to gain perspective and control immediately. We will then use Solution Focused techniques to explore your best hopes for a future free of GAD and use the powerful hypnotic state to visualise that future and engage your subconscious mind in making it a reality. This can empower you to switch off the anxiety reaction and focus instead on building a positive, confident future, free of undue stress reactions.
I understand how the issues of stress and anxiety can creep up and affect your life. My own journey has had its ups and downs which become the catalyst that led me to invest in myself and train to become a professional therapist to help others transform their mental wellbeing. So, I understand you need support from someone that listens and cares.
Online hypnotherapy is very effective for anxiety related conditions. In fact, some people prefer working online with their therapist because they are more relaxed and comfortable in their own space or home. Also, there is no need to travel to see your therapists because online hypnotherapy is just as effective as working face to face. You also have flexibility because our sessions can take place wherever you are in the world via Zoom, and I often work with clients based in the US, Europe and around the world from my UK practice.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works for anxiety by combining positive talking therapy and coaching with hypnosis. During the first half of the session, we talk and avoid past problems, and instead focus on the future. You’re encouraged to think and express yourself in a positive way which helps you to reduce your anxiety. Because hypnotherapy is a brain based therapy, you’ll also learn how the brain works in relation to your issues, but importantly what can be done to help you make changes to stop the cycle of anxiety so you can regain control and feel better.
Hypnosis reduces anxiety by using guided relaxation techniques to calm your body and mind. As you listen to your therapist, you will be guided into a relaxed state of focused attention by asking you to imagine certain things. Positive suggestions are made to help you make changes subconsciously by encouraging a shift in perspective. It allows your mind to reflect on the ideas and solutions discussed during our session to understand how they can help you.
The initial consultation and assessment is one of the most important sessions, the beginning of real focus and change. Together we'll explore what you want to achieve and how many sessions may be required. I'll explain how hypnotherapy works and I'll briefly explore how the mind works in relation to your issues and how if you're willing to make changes, hypnotherapy can help you achieve your goals. You'll also receive a complimentary guided hypnotic relaxation audio track to listen to at home which sets the wheels in motion for your subsequent sessions.

Before I started working with Andrew as I had crippling anxiety to the point I was afraid of everything. Andrew was kind and listened to my concerns, hypnotherapy was very relaxing, and it helped me understand why we get anxious and how to beat it. I am now a happier more confident person more my old self. I am so grateful to Andrew.

I got in touch with Andrew when I was dealing with big life changes causing anxiety and stress. I was feeling overwhelmed, fixated on problems, not acting like myself anymore and always feeling on edge. Since working with Andrew, I'm much calmer, much more able to rationalise situations and find solutions. I don't let my thoughts take over - I have more control. It's made such a difference because, I am able to do more things, take pleasure in daily activities, and develop better relationships. I can think about taking up hobbies, finding joy in life.

Thirty or more years ago I was involved in a serious car accident which left me with both physical and mental challenges as a result. For the first year following my accident I would not sit in the front of a car if someone else was driving. Over the years I have been able to sit as a front seat passenger but I was very anxious and not a great companion. I can now say after workng with Andrew, I feel much better, more relaxed, comfortable and happier. Than you.

I had a wonderful experience doing hypnotherapy online via zoom. I started at a very challenging time with major depression and chronic pain that was unbearable. Today I am over the depression, have cut back significantly on medications, am dealing much better with the pain and feel I have my life back. I am grateful for Andrew and the work we did together.
