Season’s greetings to everyone who follows along here 🎄✨

As the year winds down, I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes, learning some new technologies and building something a little different for the year ahead. I’ll be creating digital resources designed to gently help with small, specific pieces of the anxiety puzzle — the kind that often get overlooked, but make a real difference.

There’s more to come, and I think many of you will find it useful.

For now, though, it’s time to pause, celebrate, and enjoy the season.
Wishing you warmth, rest, and a little lightness wherever you are.

Happy Friday, folks!
I hope you have had a beatific week🧚‍♂️? Mine has been brilliant👌.

This week I have seen someone experiencing enormous financial pressure, two someones who want to snack less, someone experiencing quite extreme social anxiety, someone experiencing ARFID (food phobia), and someone experiencing brain freeze (out of nowhere) when speaking in public.

If you know anyone struggling with any of the above, please point them in my direction for a friendly no-obligation chat. Otherwise, have a blissful😶‍🌫️ weekend!

My latest blog post takes a detailed look at anxiety and its treatment. Your anxious mind is working perfectly well; it's your relationship with those workings that is the problem and can be relearned.

Clear, practical insight into treating anxiety as normal emotion not a mental illness with hypnosis. Worthing & online.

Happy Friday, folks.
I hope your week has been joyful🥳. Mine has been jubilant🕺. This week, my hypnotic chair and I have resolved someone's 40-year-old trauma, seen someone with chronic social anxiety and alcoholism, someone experiencing ARFID (food phobia), someone who has suddenly started experiencing brain freeze when public speaking after a lifetime of no issue, someone who cannot say no to sugar, and someone experiencing depression due to heartbreak.

If you know anyone struggling with any of the above, please point them in my direction for a friendly, no-obligation chat. Otherwise, have a juicy🥤 weekend!

Do you experience anxiety for no known reason? Here is my recent blog post about some of the 'hidden' reasons we uncover during hypnotherapy.

Sometimes the reason for your anxiety is obvious and sometimes it is not. This article is a Worthing hypnotherapist's exploration of hidden anxiety triggers and how he treats them.

Happy Friday, folks!

I hope your week has been tasty. Mine has been therapeutic. My hypnotic chair is back in action after my jolly around France for a week. This week I have seen someone who is feeling overwhelmed due to a very difficult five years, two someones who want to stop smoking, someone experiencing anxiety-related IBS, someone who has had really low confidence all their life, someone wanting to get past a subconscious block stopping them from exercising, someone experiencing anxiety while driving and flying, someone experiencing difficulty sleeping becuase they are stressed about not sleeping, someone who is fed up of their people-pleasing habit.

If you know anyone struggling with any of the above, please point them in my direction for a friendly chat. Otherwise, have a tranquil weekend!

I would usually post a pearl of wisdom at this time, but today is a simple Ahoy to you m'hearties 😊 I'm on the sea. Off to France for a week.

The ocean is a wonderful metaphor for the mind - what's happening underneath and on the surface can be two different things...but they are still inextricably linked.

I encourage looking within....looking deeper....what's going on down there that's effecting you in the surface. Be curious, not fearful.

Have fun while I'm away x

Happy Friday, folks!

I hope your week has been optimistic💪. Mine has been opportune✊!

This week, I have seen someone experiencing social anxiety, someone experiencing anxiety presenting to groups, someone experiencing anxiety while driving and flying, someone experiencing a lot of panic due to very challenging circumstances, someone experiencing anxiety starting a new job becuase of the toxicity of their previous job, and someone experiencing fear and loneliness when trying to sleep.

If you know anyone struggling with any of the above, please point them in my direction for a friendly chat. Otherwise, have an outstanding 🥸 weekend!
