Anxiety support in Corsham and online
Find Calm, Regain Control and Move Forward
If worry is taking up more of your day than you would like, you do not have to keep pushing through on your own. I offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy at Hartham Park in Corsham, a short drive from Chippenham and Bath, and online by Zoom.
How anxiety can show up
Anxiety looks different for everyone. You might recognise some of these:
-
Racing thoughts or constant "what ifs"
-
Feeling on edge, restless or unable to switch off
-
Tension in your shoulders, jaw or stomach, or a racing heart
-
Difficulty getting to sleep, or waking early with your mind already busy
-
Avoiding situations, people or places that used to feel fine
-
Finding it harder to concentrate or enjoy the things you care about
You do not need a diagnosis to get support. Many people come to see me simply because they want to feel calmer and more in control.
How I work
I use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, which combines Solution Focused conversation with hypnosis. Rather than going over and over what feels wrong, we focus on what you want instead, what is already working, and the small steps that move you towards it. Sessions also include hypnotherapy, a deeply relaxed and focused state that helps you feel calmer and more settled.
​
Both parts of this approach have a research base.
A systematic review of 43 controlled studies found that 74% reported significant benefit from Solution Focused Brief Therapy (Gingerich & Peterson, 2013). A meta-analysis of 17 trials found that hypnosis reduced anxiety more than control conditions, and worked better when combined with other psychological approaches than when used alone (Valentine et al., 2019).
​
I am a scientist-practitioner, so my work is grounded in psychology and neuroscience, and I will always be honest with you about what therapy can and cannot do.
