Everyone can experience events that create worry, fear, panic or anxiety.

For the majority of us these feelings are completely natural. For some these feelings occur regularly causing distress and ruining the enjoyment of life and/or is affecting the ability to function effectively at work, home, school or other social settings.

Instead of treating symptoms, hypnotherapy addresses the cause for distress and anxiety at the subconscious level, where most of our behavioural patterns, emotional reactions and unintentional responses originate.

The effectiveness of this type of approach has been proven by numerous scientific studies. For example, in a study published in American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (January 1986, Volume 28, Issue 3, pages 138-146) brief reconstructive hypnotherapy was used and it showed that “Combinations of these interventions resulted in the restoration of anxiety-free functioning.”. Similarly, an article “Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Anxiety Disorders” published in the same journal in 2012 (Volume 54, Issue 4, pages 264-274) showed how cognitive hypnotherapy is at least as effective (if not more so) than behaviour therapy for anxiety disorders.

At the Centre for Modern Psychology we treat people with General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Phobic Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
