Feeling anxious or overwhelmed is a natural part of life —but when stress and anxiety begin to affect your physical health, sleep, relationships, or daily functioning, it’s time to seek support. Whether triggered by health concerns, relationship issues, work pressures, social situations, or unexpected life events, anxiety can show up in many different ways—and it affects everyone differently.

​

Common symptoms of anxiety and stress may include:

​

• Digestive problems, such as IBS
   

• Sleep disturbances or insomnia
   

• Feelings of isolation or withdrawal
   

• Anger or emotional outbursts
   

• Reliance on alcohol or other coping mechanisms
   

• Racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, or persistent worry

 

 

What Can Help With Anxiety?

 

While your GP may recommend medication to relieve anxiety or stress symptoms, long-term relief often comes from psychological support. Research consistently shows that therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness are among the most effective ways to manage and overcome anxiety.

 

 

My Therapy Approach for Anxiety and Stress Relief

 

I use a forward-focussed, practical approach that helps you break free from unhelpful thought patterns and build emotional resilience.

​

Rather than spending extensive time in the past, our work will centre around the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that are limiting your well-being right now. Many of these patterns become automatic over time, making them difficult to spot on your own. Together, we’ll identify, challenge, and replace them with healthier, more empowering alternatives—improving your mental health across all areas of your life.

​

Through personalised therapy sessions using CBT, Mindfulness, and Hypnotherapy, you’ll also gain the tools and self-awareness to manage future stress and anxiety independently. This ensures long-term progress and emotional strength—not just symptom relief.
