Hypnotherapy for Anxiety & Stress in St Austell, Cornwall
Regain Calm, Clarity & Control with Hypnotherapy
Modern life is fast-paced and demanding, often leading to stress and anxiety that can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re constantly worrying, experiencing panic attacks, or struggling with physical symptoms like tension and poor sleep, anxiety can take over your life. The good news is you don’t have to suffer in silence—hypnotherapy provides a powerful, drug-free way to break free from the cycle of stress and regain control.
From my hypnotherapy clinic in St Austell, Cornwall, I’ve helped many clients overcome anxiety, panic attacks, and stress-related issues through safe, effective hypnotherapy sessions.
What Causes Stress & Anxiety?
We live in a world where we’re constantly juggling multiple responsibilities—work, family, relationships, finances, and more. When these pressures build up, stress can spiral into anxiety, leaving you feeling powerless and on edge.
Some of the common ways people experience anxiety include:
- Overthinking and constant worrying
- Panic attacks and feeling overwhelmed
- Catastrophising—imagining the worst possible outcomes
- Struggling with social anxiety or fear of failure
Many people turn to medication, but while it can provide temporary relief, it doesn’t address the root cause of anxiety. Hypnotherapy offers a long-term solution, rewiring how your brain responds to stress so that you can regain calm and control naturally.
Common Symptoms of Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety and stress can manifest in different ways, affecting both your mind and body. If you’re experiencing any of the following, hypnotherapy could help:
Feeling irritable, tense, or overwhelmed
Persistent worrying or racing thoughts
Physical symptoms such as tight chest, nausea, and stomach ‘butterflies’
Headaches, migraines, or muscle tension
Panic attacks or difficulty breathing
Insomnia or poor-quality sleep
Left untreated, these symptoms can start to take over your life—affecting your work, relationships, and mental well-being.
Break Free from Anxiety & Stress with Hypnotherapy
When you’re feeling stressed or anxious, your brain goes into ‘panic mode’, making it impossible to think clearly or rationally. Hypnotherapy helps reset this response, so you can regain control of your thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions.
At my hypnotherapy clinic in St Austell, I focus on practical, solution-focused techniques to help you:
✔ Reprogram your mind to think more calmly and rationally
✔ Break the cycle of negative thoughts and worry
✔ Reduce panic attacks, tension, and physical symptoms
✔ Improve sleep, confidence, and emotional resilience
Many clients begin to feel calmer and more in control after just a few sessions.
How Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Helps with Anxiety
Traditional therapies often focus on revisiting past trauma, but solution-focused hypnotherapy is about moving forward positively. Instead of dwelling on what’s gone wrong, we focus on practical ways we focus on practical ways to enjoy life and regain calm and control.
At my St Austell hypnotherapy practice, I:
✔ Explain how anxiety and stress affect the brain
✔ Help you understand how to change negative thought patterns
✔ Use guided hypnosis to retrain your subconscious mind for lasting change
✔ Teach you practical tools to manage stress more effectively
Many of my clients notice a significant improvement in just a few sessions and often say they feel like themselves again for the first time in years.
What is Health Anxiety?
Health anxiety—sometimes called illness anxiety disorder or hypochondria—can be particularly distressing. It causes people to fixate on the idea that they are seriously ill, even when no medical issue exists.
Common signs of health anxiety include:
✔ Constantly checking for physical symptoms
✔ Repeated visits to doctors for reassurance
✔ Obsessively researching medical conditions
✔ Feeling convinced that minor symptoms indicate a serious illness
Ironically, anxiety itself can create physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, and muscle tension, which reinforces the fear, creating a vicious cycle.
Hypnotherapy helps by breaking this cycle, retraining your mind to interpret symptoms rationally and move away from fear-based thinking.

Reviews
Absolutely amazing results with Julie l needed help with anxiety after an illness and she was not only very professional but so caring. My husband is so pleased to have his wife back as he remembers me. I have no hesitation recommending Julie, thank you so much for all your help. PAT
Julie is truly so lovely and makes you feel at ease instantly. It was worth every penny and I’ve come away feeling so much calmer and more in control of things. I can’t recommend Julie enough. CHLOE
Julie is fantastic. Can’t rate her help highly enough. I have tried many different things and my last resort was hypnotherapy. Julie has literally changed my life. I feel like a different person. You cannot put a price on mental health. I went in with an open mind and it worked! I would advise anyone who is struggling to give it a go. I cannot thank Julie enough for the tools and support she has given me to make me the person I am today. FIONA
Even from the first week I left feeling positive that for once I was going to beat the demons in my head and sort out my anxiety and negative thoughts, and be happier in myself. The way Julie explained how the brain works, and how to change the thoughts, and to retrain the brain were so simple, but also very effective.
I’ve really noticed a difference in myself, I feel more confident and able to tackle challenges. Even my friends have noticed a difference in the way I hold myself and the way I stand up for myself, to allow myself the time to work things out, but if I can’t, that’s also OK. I can’t thank Julie enough for how she has helped and changed me, to be happier and more confident. TOM
I cannot believe the difference Julie has made to my life. For the past few years I have been plagued by anxiety, at times so overwhelming I found it hard to function on a day-to-day basis. To say I was slightly sceptical about how much difference hypnotherapy could make to my life would be fair, but I am now recommending hypnotherapy to everyone! I have never felt more in control and able to reduce and manage my own anxiety levels. I recognise the early signs and Julie has given me the skills I need to manage them and prevent myself from escalating into full blown anxiety.
From the nightly recording I listen to that helps me sleep, to the one-to-one sessions, the whole service is so personal and special. I am so impressed and amazed at the difference hypnotherapy has made to my life and I highly recommend anyone considering it if they are struggling to manage stress, anxiety or low mood. KAREN
Julie has such a calming and welcoming personality, she really listens to what you have to say and tailors everything around what you want to get out of your hypnotherapy experience. The night recordings are great and I leave every session feeling much better than when I’ve gone in. Julie knows a lot about how the brain works and does a great job of explaining this to you, she is patient, knowledgeable and caring.
If you are sceptical, please don’t be, you even get a free consultation to see if it’s right for you.
I’m now on my 5th session and can see a huge difference in daily life, you have to want to make the changes and work with her.
Thank you Julie. highly recommended. SHANNON
I went to see Julie because I had a lot going on in my life which was making me feel overwhelmed, I had difficulty sleeping and I was really worried about the effect it was all going to have on my mental wellbeing.
Julie started by explaining to me how the brain works, I found this to be so fascinating – it made sense to me and therefore I was able to understand what was going on, and able to put things into some sort of perspective. Julie and I identified small and achievable goals that I could work towards over a period of time, doing it this way meant there was no pressure and just a feeling of positivity about what I was achieving.
The outcome of the sessions with Julie meant that my life now had a functional focus, I did not feel so overwhelmed and could see what was working well. As a consequence I feel more in control and I’ve made decisions that have had significant life changes which I’m very happy about. Thank you Julie. MICHELE
