Anxiety, stress & overthinking
Hypnotherapy for anxiety and stress
For when worry has become the background noise of your life, and talking yourself out of it no longer works.
Hypnotherapy can help with anxiety by working with the subconscious mind, where automatic stress responses are learned. In a calm, focused state I help you find what's driving the worry and teach your mind a calmer response. Sessions are about an hour, from £100, in Forest Row or online.
Does this sound familiar?
- A busy mind you can't switch off, especially at night
- Tension, a racing heart or a knot in your stomach before ordinary things
- Replaying conversations and imagining worst cases
- Avoiding situations because of how they might make you feel
- Feeling on edge even when nothing is wrong
How I can help
Anxiety is the mind trying to protect you. Somewhere along the way it learned that certain situations are dangerous, and now it reacts before you've had time to think. That's why reasoning with it rarely helps.
In hypnosis we can reach that protective part directly. We look at where the response began, release the emotion attached to it, and rehearse feeling calm and in control in the situations that used to set it off. You'll also learn simple techniques to use whenever you need them.
What can change
A calmer baseline, so small things stop feeling big
Being able to switch off in the evening
Feeling present instead of three steps ahead
Doing the things you've been avoiding
Before visiting Ruth I had no prior experience of hypnotherapy and was dubious of the effect it would have upon me. However this sense of doubt was completely eradicated the moment Ruth welcomed me. The effect Ruth and the treatment has had upon me is truly incredible and has allowed me to address the stress, anxiety and worries I had been dealing with.

Questions people ask
Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety?
Many people find hypnotherapy helps them feel calmer and more in control. It works with the subconscious stress response rather than only the thoughts about it. It's a complementary approach, so if you're under medical care for anxiety, please keep your GP informed.
How many sessions for anxiety?
Many clients choose a block of three or six, because anxiety usually has more than one layer. Some notice a clear difference after the first session.
Is hypnotherapy for anxiety available online?
Yes. Online sessions by Google Meet work very well for anxiety, and many people find it easier to relax at home.
