What is Anxiety and How Hypnosis Helps
Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived danger—an internal alarm system designed to keep us safe. But when that alarm becomes too sensitive or stuck in the “on” position, it can lead to overwhelming feelings of worry, fear, and unease. These sensations may show up as racing thoughts, a tight chest, rapid heartbeat, difficulty sleeping, or constant tension, even when there’s no clear threat present.
Hypnosis is one of the most powerful tools I use to help you manage and take control of anxiety. Through hypnosis, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state where your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking. In this calm, focused state, we can gently retrain your subconscious to respond to stress in healthier ways, reduce the intensity of anxious thoughts, and build emotional resilience. You’re fully in control throughout the process—I’m simply helping you reconnect with that part of yourself that already knows how to feel calm, safe, and steady.
Testimonials
Mark has been an exceptional hypnotherapist who has truly transformed my experience with therapy. When I first arrived, I was uncertain about my needs and unsure what to expect. However, Mark immediately put me at ease, carefully explaining the process and creating a welcoming environment.
During our first session, something clicked – it was like a light bulb moment of understanding. Mark's approach helped me gain insights into my thought patterns and emotional landscape that I had never recognized before. Throughout our subsequent sessions, he delivered highly personalized treatments that were precisely tailored to my individual needs.
As a result of our work together, I now feel significantly more relaxed and equipped with practical tools to navigate and manage my negative thoughts. Mark's expertise and compassionate approach have been instrumental in my personal growth and emotional well-being.
I cannot recommend Mark highly enough to anyone seeking professional, empathetic, and effective hypnotherapy!
Mark has been amazing for me. He's calm and makes you feel comfortable instantly. He's helped me so much and I couldn't thank him more. Highly highly highly recommend.
Mark has given me my life back !
When I first went to Mark I was “drowning” in Anxiety and past trauma. I I had lost all my hope, optimism, self esteem and belief even though I had been a high functioning career professional for many years.
I couldn’t understand what was happening to me and didn’t know how to get well. I felt lost, distressed and in pain that no one understood or could relate to.
Mark immediately resonated with me through his personality and professional “style”.His therapeutic approach has guided me, supported me and made me feel safe, knowing that I’m not alone, that he understands and is there for me. He understands my needs and provides the tools and strategies that are necessary and invaluable in the understanding of my anxiety and self. Plus the ability to practice and apply what I continue to learn from our sessions, in my recovery, ongoing healing and growth. I feel very lucky to have Mark as a therapist, mentor and guide. Thank you Mark !
was recommended to see Mark as I was going through quite a toxic divorce and needed to deal with my trauma associated with it. After two sessions with Mark I’ve already feel my mindset has shifted dramatically and was able to apply the teachings from the first session into a difficult personal situation and I felt empowered. I have also been able to deal with the grief of a deceased parent I had buried for over 17 years and have felt much lighter from this. Thank you for all your work so far Mark, cannot wait to see how much more you can help me on my healing journey.
Mark has helped me change my life for the better-no exaggeration. He is warm, open and very empathic. I was able to be open and honest about my alcohol addiction and after six sessions with Mark, I can honestly say my attitude towards drinking has totally changed.
We had an amazing session where, through hypnosis, a childhood trauma was addressed and identified the triggers where alcohol became my coping mechanism. Afterwards my wife said 'you look like you've been on a fantastic holiday and that a weight had been lifted'.
I'm three months alcohol free and use the tools Mark has instilled in me to lead a healthier, happier and fitter life. My marriage is so, so much more loving too.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone who wants to commit to real change in their life.
'Thanks Mark, you're brilliant' Harry Sept 2023.
Mark was recommended to me and I am very thankful that he was. He has a unique perspective and way of setting things out and explaining them which I have found to really help my understanding of things. Any doubts I had about hypnotherapy were put at rest very quickly by Mark’s professionalism and the relaxing atmosphere. I feel more confident in myself, less stressed, less anxious and less aggressive. This has happened within only a matter of weeks which has surprised me as much as anyone. Thank you Mark for helping me to make such a positive change. I would suggest if you are reading this review then follow through and give Mark a try. I’m glad I did.
Mark has helped me with my past issues through hypnotherapy. He has a unique ability to extract and address issues I was trapped with that happened long time ago. I have dealt with it now with Marks help and feel like I have a 'clean sheet' to be myself again and carry on with my life as it should be. Feels GREAT! Thanks Mark.
I went to see Mark to get some help with public speaking anxiety. I didn’t know what to expect but Mark was excellent. He helped me with my confidence and gave me the tools I needed, through talking and hypnotherapy. I subsequently had to speak publicly and it went really well! I have no hesitation in recommending Mark and would encourage anyone with any anxiety issues to see him. Thank you Mark.
