ABOUT ANXIETY
Living with anxiety can feel exhausting — constant overthinking, anticipating the worst, physical tension, emotional overload or panic that appears without warning. Whether you’re experiencing generalised anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, stress at work, or persistent intrusive thoughts, you may be wondering:
“Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety?”
“Is hypnotherapy for anxiety disorder effective?”
The answer for many people is yes.
Gareth Amos offers safe, research-informed Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for anxiety, a gentle neuroscientific approach designed to calm the mind, ease anxious thought patterns and help you reconnect with emotional balance, confidence and a sense of control. Through guided relaxation and expert therapeutic support, hypnotherapy helps to interrupt cycles of fear, worry and panic — allowing the mind to process challenges more calmly.
You don’t have to live with anxiety controlling your life.
Most anxiety patterns are created subconsciously — habits of fear and over-protection the brain learns during stress, past experiences or ongoing pressure.
Hypnotherapy for anxiety works by helping the brain shift away from these patterns and into more rational, calm thinking.
Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we work together to:
Quiet the overactive mind
Reduce the fight-or-flight response
Ease worry, fear and catastrophic thinking
Create new, calmer thought rhythms
Build confidence in handling daily challenges
Support clearer, more rational decision-making
In the deeply relaxed state of hypnosis, your brain becomes more responsive to positive change. This is why hypnotherapy for anxiety disorder can be especially helpful for people experiencing long-term stress, overwhelm or panic.
Reducing anxious thoughts and constant mental chatter
Relieving physical symptoms like tension, headaches, restlessness and shallow breathing
Calming the fear-based response that fuels anxiety
Breaking the cycle of panic and avoidance
Rebuilding confidence and emotional resilience
Improving sleep and overall wellbeing
This approach is gentle, effective and future-focused — empowering you to rebuild confidence and control.
As a qualified hypnotherapist, Gareth provides a calm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can feel understood and supported. Each session is shaped around your personal goals and experiences — whether your anxiety relates to:
Generalised anxiety disorder
Social anxiety
Work-related stress
Panic attacks
Health anxiety
Phobias
Overthinking or perfectionism
Long-term tension or emotional overwhelm
The aim is to help you reconnect with strength, calm and the ability to feel grounded.
