When every symptom brings worry, make room for calm.

Perhaps the worry begins with a perfectly ordinary sensation — and suddenly it's all you can think about.

You may notice your heartbeat, a headache or a new physical sensation and feel drawn to search for explanations. You might ask someone for reassurance, book repeated checks, or find yourself afraid to attend appointments.

Health anxiety can make everyday uncertainty feel urgent. The worry is real, and the sensations you notice deserve to be taken seriously — but fear and persistent checking can also become exhausting.

We can begin by understanding what you're experiencing and what you'd like life to feel like, without telling you to ignore genuine medical concerns.

A collaborative approach to feeling less caught up in worry and more present in daily life.

Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy offers space to clarify your goals, identify personal strengths and explore relaxation or focused-attention techniques where suitable.

NLP-informed techniques may be used to explore unhelpful associations, change how you relate to certain thoughts and rehearse more helpful ways of responding.

CBT-informed strategies can help you notice the connections between interpretation, anxiety and checking behaviours, and consider balanced responses to uncertainty.

We'll discuss suitability, what each approach involves and how to review progress. There is no fixed programme or guaranteed outcome.

Your health concerns deserve thoughtful attention, not automatic reassurance or dismissal.

If you have a new, persistent or worsening physical symptom, speak with your GP or another appropriate medical professional. Urgent or emergency symptoms require urgent medical attention.

For persistent health anxiety, the NHS explains self-help approaches and treatment options, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). You may also be able to contact NHS Talking Therapies directly.

My hypnotherapy and NLP work is intended to offer supportive therapeutic options where suitable; it does not replace diagnosis, medical assessment or specialist treatment.

A Swindon-based psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist, lecturer and clinical supervisor.

Health-related worry can feel relentless. My aim is to offer a professional, respectful conversation where you can feel heard and explore constructive ways forward.

My work draws on Solution Focused approaches, clinical hypnosis, NLP techniques and appropriate CBT-informed elements. I value clear explanations, informed choices and recognising when medical or specialist psychological support may be more suitable.
