I used to help people talk about their anxiety.
Now, through clinical hypnosis, I help them release it.

After years in neuropsychology and traditional talk therapy, I realised that knowing your anxiety triggers isn’t the same resolving them.

Hypnosis bridges that gap.

It teaches your body what safety actually feels like, not just what it means.

Why Hypnosis Works for Anxiety (and How It Helps You Feel Calm Again) 3 Nov Written By Nicola Cranie The meeting invitation appears in your inbox and your chest tightens before you even finish reading it. Your partner asks if you're okay and you smile automatically, but inside there's that familiar....

“I’m fine. I’m just tired.”

How many times have you said that… when you weren’t?

Maybe you are tired. Maybe life’s too much. But there’s something deeper, the kind of tired that sleep won’t fix. The heaviness in your chest. The mornings you wake up already dreading the day. The quiet desperation of going through the motions… when nothing feels right anymore.

But this chapter doesn’t define the rest of your story. There’s a version of you waiting on the other side - stronger, lighter, happier, alive.

One conversation. One step. One choice. That’s all it takes to start. And when you take it, you might be surprised at how much life can change.

If this resonates, send me a message.
Just a conversation.

💬 If you look calm but feel chaotic inside… is that actually anxiety?

Someone asked me this last week and my answer surprised them.

Yes. High-functioning anxiety IS anxiety.
But it looks nothing like what most people picture.

No panic attacks. No cancelled plans. No visible struggle.

Just you… looking capable on the outside while overthinking everything, replaying conversations for hours, and feeling exhausted from appearing “fine.”

If you’re the “strong one” everyone leans on but secretly feel like you’re drowning, this is for you.
Because here’s what no one tells you: You don’t need MORE coping strategies. You’re already stuck in constant coping mode.

Most people with high-functioning anxiety have mastered performed calm, looking fine on the outside while feeling like they are dying inside . Authentic Calm is different. It’s genuine inner peace that exists without effort, without strategies, without the exhausting gap between how you appear and how you feel.

My Authentic Calm programme uses IEMT and Hypnotherapy to resolve high-functioning anxiety at its root, not manage it, resolve it.
8 sessions. No more performing calm. Actually feeling it.

If you’re exhausted from the facade and ready to close the gap between between who you’ve been performing as and who you actually are, let’s talk. 💬 ☺️

DM me to learn more.

Someone asked me this last week and I had to pause. Because honestly? It's a really fair question. The answer is yes. High-functioning anxiety IS anxiety. But also... no. It's not the same as what most people think of when they hear "anxiety." Let me explain why this matters and why so

💬 “ I’m Just An Anxious Person” - the identity label that’s keeping you stuck

Read the full post here 👇 and explore how letting go of the ‘anxious person’ label can change everything.

“I’m just an anxious person.” How many times have you said something like that? Maybe out loud, maybe just to yourself. It sounds like a harmless statement, but what if I told you that this little sentence might be one of the biggest things keeping you stuck? Because when you say, “I’m jus...

✨ Client Testimonial ✨

When Milly first came to see me, she was carrying the weight of complex trauma and anxiety that had shaped her life for decades. As a former CBT therapist , she understood that healing was possible but had begun to lose hope it could happen for her.

Over the next few months, we worked gently and collaboratively to release the old patterns and trauma responses that had been keeping her stuck.

In her own words (video below), Milly shares how she felt safe, valued and deeply supported throughout our work together.

(Shared with permission.)

If you’ve been living with anxiety or the effects of past trauma, know that healing is possible and it begins with feeling safe enough to start. 💫

✨ FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS ✨

Is there a gap between who you ARE and who you NEED to be for your business?

You know what you should be doing: post more, charge more, be visible, make offers.

But you don’t.

Not because you lack knowledge or talent. But because part of you still doesn’t believe you’re the kind of person who gets to have that success.

And honestly? The number of brilliant women I see who know what to do but can’t seem to actually DO it… it’s always the same thing.

It’s not strategy. It’s identity.

Your brain won’t let you take actions that don’t match who you believe you are. That’s why you freeze before posting, undercharge or avoid being on video.

So I created a 25-minute hypnotherapy audio just for female entrepreneurs , who are DONE with imposter syndrome, perfectionism and playing small.

It’s called Step Into Your Successful Self and it helps you:

✨ Meet and embody the confident, courageous version of yourself
✨ Reprogramme the unconscious beliefs keeping you stuck
✨ Release the self-doubt that stops you from taking action
✨ Create an anchor you can use anytime for instant confidence

If you’ve been struggling with the gap between knowing what to do and being the woman who actually does it, this is for you.

Do you feel anxious because you’re sensitive? 💭

Being highly sensitive isn’t the problem. It’s how your nervous system processes life’s stress, trauma and emotions alongside the pressure to “toughen up.” The anxiety comes from carrying all that and trying to hide it.

If you’ve ever felt like your feelings are “too much” or that you shouldn’t show them, this blog is for you. Learn why sensitivity and anxiety are connected and what actually helps.

"I'm so sensitive. Is that why I'm this anxious?" I hear this question all the time. Usually whispered, often with a mix of frustration and shame. If you've ever cursed your sensitivity and wondered if you'd be less anxious if you could just toughen up , I want you to know that your se
