Stress and Anxiety

Stress is usually triggered by external pressures such as work, illness, or family demands, while anxiety often persists even when there is no clear cause. Both activate the body’s fight-or-flight response, increasing cortisol and affecting sleep, mood, energy levels, and physical health. When this state becomes ongoing, it can feel exhausting and overwhelming.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) helps you recognise when your brain is operating from this stress response and gently guides you towards calmer, more helpful ways of thinking. Using a combination of solution focused brief therapy, positive psychology, and guided relaxation, I support the brain to build new patterns that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, increase confidence, and shift attention towards what’s going well.

If you’re ready to feel calmer, reduce anxiety, and move forward in a more positive direction, please get in touch to find out how myhappimind hypnotherapy can support you - I’d be delighted to help.

“In just five sessions, I went from being terrified of flying to managing it calmly. I recently flew to Greece and back without constant worry, I listened to Abbi’s MP3 and actually fell asleep on the plane! I’m so much more confident about flying now - highly recommend Abbi.”

— Jim, Cardiff

“Even after just six sessions with Abbi, my daughter’s anxiety is lower, she’s happier, and more able to join in with family life. We’re hopeful she’ll manage school better this year with the strategies she’s gained.”

— Sarah, Bristol

“I have been seeing Abbi for nearly 18 months, and in that time I have overcome so many things. I now drive confidently on the motorway, go places on my own, attend social events without drinking, and, just as importantly, I can turn down invitations without feeling guilty. For the first time in my life, I feel as though I am truly prioritising myself.”

-Sally, North Somerset
