I suffered daily anxiety attacks due to a bad episode in my life and it was ongoing for almost 2 years. I was skeptical first of hypnotherapy after trying medicines and different doctors. Matthew in just a few sessions have worked wonders and now I don’t experience breathlessness and anxiety. I get nervous but it’s normal for anyone.I am so relieved and wish to have found him sooner. Cannot recommend him enough for any kind of phobias, addictions or general anxiety. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Help with Anxiety in Reading, Berkshire and Didcot, Oxfordshire

Stress is typically longer lasting and is often caused by events such as losing a job, redundancy, moving house, relationship breakdowns, injury to yourself or loved ones, or bereavement

And with these mentioned things there will be a natural weakening of the emotional, psychological and physical responses and how they are connected to the body and mind. After time things usually do even out; but when they aren’t or don’t that’s when the stress will need addressing.

However with using a combination of Hypnotherapy, NLP and with ideas from positive psychology I can help you to overcome stress and anxiety as well as other conditions which present with them.

As with most issues there is likely to be a root cause and especially with stress it is usually known by the person; however using hypnosis and the unconscious mind we can effectively address this in a different way so that you can put it behind for good. With NLP there are many ways of helping to get anxiety truly under control, these techniques are extremely useful and adaptable 

How Hypnotherapy Can Help With Anxiety

Anxiety is closely linked to how the brain and nervous system respond to perceived threat. When anxiety becomes persistent, the brain can remain in a heightened state of alert, even when there is no real danger. Hypnotherapy uses focused attention, relaxation, and guided imagery to help calm the nervous system and interrupt automatic fear responses. This can make it easier to reduce anxious reactions, improve emotional regulation, and respond more calmly to everyday situations.

Is Hypnotherapy Safe for Anxiety?

Yes. Hypnotherapy is calm, safe, and deeply relaxing. You remain fully aware, in control, and able to stop at any time. It does not replace medical care but works alongside it as a powerful psychological support.

I recently completed a few sessions with Matthew to help manage my anxiety, and the experience has been transformative! Matthew is non-judgemental and creates a very calm environment. He listened to my concerns and took a personalised approach for each session, to help me overcome the root cause of my anxiety. After even the first session I felt so much better! I responded differently to situations that would usually trigger my anxiety, and felt so much calmer. Matthew has also helped me to find practical ways to cope with my anxiety outside of sessions. Matthew’s sessions were very effective and I could not recommend him enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
