Confidence and Anxiety

Receive help for your confidence or anxiety issues at my Portsmouth Southsea or Chichester practices. In just three to six sessions you could be rid of your confidence or anxiety issues

The experience of anxiety can range from mild uneasiness and worry to severe panic. At a reasonable level, short bursts of anxiety can motivate us and enhance our performance. If anxiety becomes too severe or chronic, however, it can become debilitating.

Anxiety typically involves an emotional component (e.g. fear, nervousness), a physical component (e.g. trembling, dry mouth, heart racing, stomach churning) and a cognitive component (frightening thoughts, e.g. I’m going to fail/make a fool of myself/lose control).

Hypnotherapy works rapidly on your unconscious mind replacing the negative emotions with feelings of calmness and being in control; it can alleviate anxiety by direct suggestion and guided visualisation. Usually three or four sessions is all that is required to effectively and permanently change the way you feel.

Wedding Speeches

Anxiety and lack of confidence can spoil what is one of life’s most enjoyable occasions; a wedding is a joyous and celebratory event but not for you if you dread the thought of giving the ‘Father of the Bride’ or ‘Best Man’ speech. Just a few sessions before the big day will leave you comfortable, calm, confident and in control. 

Job Interview Nerves

Hypnotherapy is a great way to be rid of  interview anxiety and boost your job interview performance

There’s nothing worse than knowing you’re the one for the job then seeing your best efforts go to waste because of interview nerves.

All the practical preparation in the world doesn’t help you when you can barely remember your own name because of anxiety!
Of course practical preparation is essential, but it’s all wasted if you fail to prepare emotionally, as well as practically.
Getting the wrong emotional response when the critical moment comes can lay all your best plans to waste.
Being calm and relaxed enough to show the interviewers just what you can do, then you can leave the interview knowing that you did your best.

Giving Presentations and Work Place Meetings

For many people the thought of having to speak to colleagues at work in meetings or to give a presentation fills them with dread.

Anxiety, fear, embarrassment accompanied by hot flushes, sweaty palms, feelings of nausea and upset stomach are just a few of the symptoms your subconscious will create in an attempt to keep you from going ahead with the presentation or meeting.

Hypnotherapy is a very fast way to reframe the way your subconscious behaves in these situations so you feel calm, in control and positive instead.

General Anxiety

Sometimes we are not aware of why we feel in a state of heightened anxiety; particularly painful thoughts, feelings and memories may have been pushed under the surface and, if appropriate, hypnosis can be used to investigate, release and resolve such repressed emotions which if left can manifest as problems with your emotional state and physical health.

Hypnotherapy is excellent at bringing relief from anxiety by getting your subconscious to change the thoughts or feelings that caused the problem in the very first instance.
