It is a picture of a clock. ⏰
It does not tell the time.
It does not tick.
It does not tock.

A picture of a clock and ticktocking timepiece are two very different things that resemble each other.

Seems obvious, right?

If you experience excessive anxiety, then you're mistaking a thought of a threat for a threat.

Regardless how dangerous 'the thing' 🧛. The thought of 'the thing' is perfectly safe. Otherwise, horror movies would not be so popular.

Excessive anxiety happens when you learn to fear your own thoughts and feelings.

You are not ill. Your mind is working perfectly. You just need to change your relationship with your thoughts.

In session, I can help you see through this illusion.

This is a picture of me.

Nobody has ever mistaken a photo of me for me, to my knowledge.

The picture and I are two different things that resemble each other.

Seems obvious, right?

If you experience excessive anxiety, then you are mistaking a thought of a threat for a threat.

The threat and the thought of a threat are two different things, but you are experiencing them as the same.

In session, I can help you see the illusion of your excessive anxiety.

Fear is described as an unpleasant emotion, but it can be enjoyable. Look at extreme sports and horror films. 🏄‍♀️

Phobia is a fear reaction, but I cannot think of a single example where phobias are indulged for entertainment or recreation. 😱

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.

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!
