Feel Calmer, More Balanced and Back in Control
Anxiety, ongoing stress and low mood can affect every part of life: from sleep and concentration to relationships, confidence and physical health. You may feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed, stuck in negative thinking or emotionally drained, even when you’re doing your best to cope.
Hypnotherapy offers a supportive, natural and evidence-based way to help you manage anxiety, reduce stress levels and improve emotional wellbeing, so you can feel calmer, balanced and more in control again.
How Can Hypnotherapy Help?
Hypnotherapy is a well-researched psychological approach that uses focused attention and therapeutic suggestions. In this calm, attentive state, it can feel easier to learn new coping strategies and develop more helpful ways of thinking, supporting you to notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts, manage life's stressors more effectively and improve low mood.
Rather than simply “relaxing you”, hypnotherapy works alongside cognitive and behavioural techniques to help change the patterns that maintain anxiety and low mood. Many people find it helps them feel less reactive, more emotionally balanced and better able to manage everyday challenges.
Emotional difficulties are rarely caused by one factor alone. Stress, thought patterns, past experiences, physical tension and nervous system arousal all play a role. Hypnotherapy takes a whole-person approach, addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of anxiety and mood.
Hypnotherapy sessions can help by:
✔ Improving emotional regulation
Helping shift the body out of a constant “fight or flight” state, reducing feelings of tension, restlessness and overwhelm.
✔ Optimising breathing patterns which helps regulate the nervous system.
✔ Reducing anxious and repetitive thinking
Supporting you to step back from unhelpful thought loops, worries and self-critical patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. Instead focusing on what you want instead.
✔ Cognitive and behavioural reframing
Supporting changes in unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, building confidence, resilience and a greater sense of choice in how you respond.
✔ Increasing confidence which gives you the belief that you are capable of being successful
Hypnotherapy does not replace medical or psychological care, but it can be a valuable part of a broader approach to mental wellbeing, helping you feel calmer, more grounded and better equipped to manage life’s demands.
And for those of you who appreciate the science….it’s backed by extensive research & here are just a small fraction of the studies:
1. Hypnotherapy found to be as effective as CBT with mild to moderate depression
Fuhr, K., Meisner, C., Broch, A., Cyrny, B., Hinkel, J., Jaberg, J., Petrasch, M., Schweizer, C., Stiegler, A., Zeep, C. and Batra, A. (2021) ‘Efficacy of hypnotherapy compared to cognitive behavioral therapy for mild to moderate depression: results of a randomized controlled rater-blind clinical trial’, Journal of Affective Disorders, 286, pp. 166–173. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2021.02.069.
Summary: This Randomised Controlled Trial demonstrated that hypnotherapy was not inferior to cognitive behavioural therapy with patients with mild to moderate Major Depression.
2. Use of Mindful Hypnotherapy to treat depression
Khazraee, H. et al. (2023) ‘The Effectiveness of Mindful Hypnotherapy on Depression, Self-Compassion, and Psychological Inflexibility in Females with Major Depressive Disorder: A Single-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial’, International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 71(1), pp. 63–78. doi: 10.1080/00207144.2022.2160257.
Summary: A randomised controlled designe study in females with major depressive disorder demonstrated that mindful hypnotherapy is an effective approach for treatment depression, reducing psychological inflexibility and improving self-compassion.
3. Anxiety symptoms significantly reduced with use of hypnotherapy.
Valentine, K. E., Milling, L. S., Clark, L. J., & Moriarty, C. L. (2019). The efficacy of hypnosis as a treatment for anxiety: A meta-analysis. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 67(3), 336–363. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207144.2019.1613863
Summary: This meta-analysis examined 15 studies incorporating 17 trials to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnosis in treating anxiety. The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, with a mean weighted effect size of 0.79 at the end of active treatment and 0.99 at the longest follow-up. Additionally, hypnosis combined with other psychological interventions was found to be more effective than hypnosis alone.
4. Hypnotherapy significantly reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Çınaroğlu M, Yılmazer E, Odabaşı C, Ülker SV, Hızlı Sayar G. Comparing cognitive behavioral therapy and ericksonian hypnotherapy for subclinical depression and anxiety: A randomized controlled trial. Am J Clin Hypn. 2025;67(3):288-304. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00029157.2025.2460581.
Summary: Although there were some limitations in the study, it was a randomised controlled trial over 12 weeks which showed both CBT and hypnotherapy significantly reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety, although the hypnotherapy showed slightly faster reductions in anxiety symptoms at mid-intervention.
