Stress Relief Therapy

Find Calm and Restore Inner Balance.

Intro

We all recognise the weight of stress — the heavy chest, the racing thoughts that won’t switch off, the sense of being permanently on edge. Stress doesn’t just live in your mind, it takes over your whole body, leaving you tense, drained, and never truly able to rest. It can creep in quietly or arrive all at once, hijacking your focus, your energy, and your clarity. The more you try to push through, the more stuck you can feel — like you’re always coping but never really thriving. Through tailored, science-backed hypnotherapy techniques, I help you release that tension, restore emotional balance, and build healthier coping strategies so you can feel calm, capable, and in control again. If stress is starting to run your life rather than you running it, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.

Do you choose stress — or does it choose you?

That heavy feeling in your chest. The sinking in your stomach. The racing thoughts that won’t switch off at night. The short fuse, the forgetfulness, the constant need to keep going, even when you’re running on empty. Stress doesn’t just live in the mind — it lives in the body too. Most people don’t realise that what they’re experiencing isn’t just psychological, it’s neurological. When the brain perceives a threat, whether real or imagined, it triggers a cascade of chemical changes: adrenaline, cortisol, and other stress hormones flood the system. This is your body doing what it was designed to do — protect you. But in modern life, the stress rarely ends. Your brain stays stuck in survival mode. Your thoughts and your chemistry feed each other in a loop that’s hard to break — until you show the brain another way.

Do you recognise any of these?

Struggling to switch off, even when you’re not “on duty”
Racing thoughts at night or waking up already tense.
Feeling constantly on edge, drained, or overwhelmed.
Physical symptoms like headaches, jaw tension, or fatigue.
Overreacting to small things, then feeling guilty or ashamed afterwards.
A sense of coping, but never truly thriving.
Short fuse, forgetfulness, or feeling detached from your usual self.
That inner drive to keep pushing, even when you’re running on empty
A constant inner voice that says, “just get through the day”.

If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone. Stress shows up differently for everyone — but the toll it takes is real, both mentally and physically.

What We Know

We know that if stress is ignored, it can begin to affect every part of life — your health, your relationships, your work. Often, it feels like there’s no way to break the cycle. It can be a lonely and isolating place to be, as if the colour has quietly slipped from your life. Stress doesn’t just stay in the mind — it shows up in the body too. The racing heart, the tense muscles, the restless nights. This is the brain’s survival system at work, flooding your body with stress hormones to keep you alert and ready to react. In small bursts, this response is useful. But when it doesn’t switch off, the brain works far harder than it needs to. Energy is drained, tension builds, and life becomes about coping and firefighting instead of moving forward. Over time, this takes its toll — until the brain is guided back into balance.

How I Can Help

Research has shown that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can create positive and lasting change in how people experience stress. By helping the brain to “rewire” itself, it reduces the old patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode and builds stronger, healthier pathways that support calm and balance.

My work with you is a calm therapy that allows the mind to pause and regroup. It’s a space where you can step away from the constant noise of stress and give your brain the opportunity to reset.

Many of the clients I work with don’t realise how stressed they are until the therapy starts to work. It’s only then that the contrast becomes clear — and they see just how far away from their best selves they had drifted.

When we rewire the brain in this way, you’re not just managing stress in the moment — you’re equipping yourself with the tools to handle challenges more effectively in the future. Instead of firefighting, you begin to respond with clarity, focus, and confidence.

In our sessions, I’ll guide you into a calm, relaxed state where your brain is more open to change. This is where the real work happens — where those overworked stress circuits begin to quieten, and new, healthier responses take their place. Over time, this becomes your new default, helping you feel steady, capable, and in control again.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy works by guiding the brain into a natural state of deep relaxation, similar to the moments just before you drift off to sleep. In this state, the mind is calmer, quieter, and more open to positive change.

When you are deeply relaxed, your brain can step away from the constant “fight or flight” response and access a different mode — one that supports balance, problem-solving, and resilience. This is where we can begin to rewire those overworked stress pathways and strengthen new ones that help you respond with calm and clarity instead.

Research shows that hypnotherapy can lower levels of stress hormones, improve sleep, and reduce physical tension. But the real difference clients notice is in how they feel day to day: more focused, more capable, more themselves.

Hypnotherapy doesn’t erase stress from life — challenges will always come. What it does is equip your brain to handle those challenges differently, so you can face them with steadiness instead of overwhelm.

What Happens in Sessions

Each session is tailored to you and the unique way stress is showing up in your life. My work provides a calm and supportive space where you are heard and understood. Everything we discuss is covered by GDPR and remains completely confidential.

As a registered member of AfSFH, BPS, CNHC, and trained with CPHT, I work to the highest professional and ethical standards, so you can feel reassured that you are in safe hands.

We begin with an initial consultation, where I explain why you are feeling as you do and what is happening in your brain. We also explore what you would like to achieve through therapy, giving us a clear focus to work towards together.

From there, each session flows seamlessly: we begin with relaxed conversation to build on your goals and progress, moving naturally into guided relaxation. In this calm state, your brain is more open to change, allowing stressed patterns to ease and healthier, calmer responses to take root.

Over time, this process helps you build resilience and feel more like yourself again — calm, capable, and in control.

FAQs

Do I need to talk about my past?

No. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is forward-looking. We focus on where you want to be and the steps to get you there, rather than revisiting painful memories.

What if I can’t be hypnotised?

Most people can. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and relaxation — similar to being absorbed in a book or film. You remain fully in control throughout.

How many sessions will I need?

Clients often notice positive changes sooner, sometimes within the first few sessions. However, it is usually recommended to have between 8 and 12 sessions — sometimes more — to make sure the work is fully established. This allows the brain to rewire effectively, so the changes become long-lasting natural patterns rather than temporary shifts.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe and recognised approach, supported by research and widely used to ease stress.

Will I lose control or say things I don’t want to?

No. You remain aware and in control during the session. Hypnosis is not about being made to do anything — it’s about giving your brain the space to reset and build healthier patterns.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes. Everything you share is confidential and protected under GDPR. I work to strict professional and ethical standards as a member of AfSFH, BPS, CNHC, and trained with CPHT.
