What is Anxiety?
8.3 million people were recorded as suffering from anxiety in the UK in 2013* and many more will have been suffering in silence. A Government study examined 58,700 fit notes issued to 25,000 patients between October 2011 and January 2013 and found that more than one in three absences were due to stress and anxiety. So if you suffer from anxiety, you are certainly not alone and just by making your way to this page, you have started your journey to getting the real you back again.
Many people come to Bon Accord Hypnotherapy in Banchory seeking help for anxiety and the wide range of symptoms associated with it. These can include:
Physical Symptoms
-
Physical tension
-
Panic and nervousness

Difficulty sleeping
-
Shaking, sweating

Feeling on edge
Psychological Symptoms

Excessive worrying

Racing thoughts

Dificulty concentrating

Indecisiveness

Self-doubt
Behavioural Symptoms

Avoiding situations
-
Mood swings

-
Obessions
The list goes on and on. For some it can mean an ongoing lack of confidence and self-doubt, for others, it can become overwhelming and debilitating.
The good news is that there is no evidence that anxiety is a lifelong condition. The latest research from neuroscience tells us clearly that the anxiety response is our brain's way of protecting us. But our brain gets it wrong sometimes. It draws upon our primitive fight, flight or freeze responses designed for life-threatening situations.
It overgeneralises these responses though, applying them to more and more everyday experiences that are not life-threatening. These responses are programmed at a subconscious level – we don’t have to think about reacting this way, it just happens. So our attempts to consciously think and talk our way into a calm response may not work..

Client Success Stories
I was struggling with anxiety and had heard positive feedback about hypnotherapy. I wanted a solution that would help me manage future challenges on my own. Anne explained how the mind works and provided me with the right tools and techniques to identify and effectively process my thoughts. Within a week, my sleep had improved, and my anxiety had decreased. Over the next few sessions, my understanding of the mind deepened, and within a couple of months, I felt like my old self again. Anne's hypnotherapy sessions were transformative, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a successful and empowering approach to mental well-being.
I completely loved the experience of working with Anne. I had felt quite anxious about many “everyday” situations which had led into my not using lifts, getting on flights or even locking myself into bathrooms! I came to Anne with the specific goal of getting on a flight for a holiday, but she has helped me with SO much more. I’m using lifts, locking myself into rooms and have just successfully completed two 3 hours flights with absolutely no problem at all! But (almost) better than all of that has been an overall improvement in every aspect of my life, from feeling more positive generally, to enjoying life more and even improved sleep! I am so thankful for everything she has done for me, and I would highly recommend working with her - I only wish I’d done it years ago!
