Do you feel like you’re running on empty, struggling to get through the day?
Maybe it’s a shorter fuse these days and things that you used to take in your stride now feel harder.
Anxiety does that.
It puts the body on edge for no clear reason, makes sleep tricky and keeps the mind replaying conversation after conversation on a loop.
Overcoming anxiety starts with exploring it’s triggers and building strategies to manage or change them. Learning techniques to calm the body, reset the nervous system and making lifestyle changes that support lasting change .
You’ll come away from our work together with you own toolbox of techniques to manage thoughts, emotions and wellbeing, for good .
It’s completely normal to feel anxious from time to time. Most people can relate to feeling anxious under pressure such as public speaking, exams, job interviews or hospital appointments. Usually it passes. For some though, sleepless nights, difficulty eating and concentrating can start to take over and control life.
Anxiety takes many forms including phobias, social anxiety, panic attacks, sleep anxiety and more.
To understand more about how anxiety impacts the body, read about the natural fight or flight response here
Phobias are intense and often crippling fears that impact life. They can feel irrational, yet cause a lot of distress.
Phobias can be of objects (snakes or mice), experiences (heights, flying, crowded places, driving), or ideas (a fear of germs).
Hypnotherapy has a long history of successfully treating phobias.
Panic attacks are debilitating periods of fear or discomfort. They feel frightening when they are happening and it’s common to believe you’re having a heart attack or something similar.
During a panic attack, symptoms can include:
Hypnotherapy for panic attacks teaches the mind and body to respond differently to fear.
Social anxiety is a fear of social situations, feeling overly self-aware around others, worrying what they think and struggling to start conversations with strangers.
It might mean endlessly replaying conversations in your head, planning what to say before going into a room or worrying so much getting it right that you end up saying the wrong thing or nothing at all.
It’s a crippling form of shyness, where every day situations become hard to manage.
Hypnotherapy for social anxiety helps build ways to cope in new situations and become more confident socially.
Are you lying awake at night, trying hard to get to sleep but it just won’t happen? Replaying the day and planning tomorrow. All the time, aware of how tired you are and still you can’t switch off as you worry how you’ll cope with the day ahead.
This worry can spill into other areas of life. Lack of sleep makes it harder to concentrate, and can contribute to weight gain and anxiety.
On top of that comes irritability, slower reactions, and everyday tasks that suddenly take more energy. It’s harder to think clearly, and easier to feel emotional and on edge.
Not getting enough rest, puts the body out of synch and can make you even more stressed, and that affects sleep quality further.
Whatever you’re coming to see me about, I’ll ask about your sleep pattern, as it affects all areas of life.
Treatment focuses on restoring quality sleep by improving the ability to relax the body and mind. Doing the things you enjoy during the day can help the mind to switch of more easily at night. While finding ways to feel better about yourself can help to stop worrying, allowing the brain to make the most of sleep.
Treatment is designed around you and your needs, depending on the problem and your preferences.

Contact Me"Before I started working with Celia I was constantly anxious, worrying about my health and going into a health anxiety downward spiral. I found working with Celia really helpful. She is compassionate and informative, and using various different tools according to my own, individual needs. I was reassured by her evidence-based approach. I found it very reassuring that her goal is to equip people with tools to help them rather than create a reliance on coming to see her.
Working with Celia, I discovered it’s normal to feel some level of anxiety. I learned to prioritise self-care and my own mental well-being. I now have tools to help me reduce my general level of anxiety and to stop myself from catastrophising when health issues arise. I now have much less anxiety in my life. I now treat myself with more self-compassion. I am now confident I have the ability and the tools to cope with anxiety-inducing events. This makes me feel empowered to be able to manage my own mental health.
Hypnotherapy is essentially tuning into the power of your imagination and using it in helpful ways. It is not like it is sometimes represented in the media.
I would recommend Celia to anyone who is struggling with anxiety.”
“I visited Celia for some help with my social anxiety. I had been offered a fantastic job, but I was full of fear and trepidation about accepting it, and had even convinced myself I didn’t want it. I knew deep down, this was the culmination of years of anxiety that had held me back for too long. With limited time available I contacted Celia, we talked things through, then set to work. In total I had just three sessions and the results were fantastic.
I was able to speak publicly for the first time. I actually look forward to the opportunity to try it out and improve now! My fears about social situations have become a thing of the past. Now, I am much calmer and at ease in everyday life; actively seeking out conversations and interactions. Seeing Celia was one of the best decisions I have made. She has helped me far more than I could ever have hoped. ”
