Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

Hypnotherapy can support healing from all types of anxiety, from persistent worrying over overthinking, to social anxiety, to panic attacks.

Ongoing or generalized anxiety: constant tension, worry, or mental noise

Social anxiety: fear of judgment or social situations

Panic attacks: sudden, intense physical and emotional reactions

Health-related anxiety: heightened concern about bodily sensations

Situational anxiety: anxiety or fears tied to specific events such as flying, public speaking, or major life changes

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from hypnotherapy. Sessions are tailored to your personal experience of anxiety, your triggers, and your goals — not labels.

Kristina has over a decade of experiencing supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, and nervous system regulation - in addition to overcoming her own struggles with anxiety.

As a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, certified Trauma Therapy Practitioner, and Counselling Therapist with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, Kristina brings a wealth of both professional expertise and personal experience to her practice.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a well-researched, evidence-informed approach that has been studied for its effectiveness in supporting anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.

Research published in peer-reviewed journals suggests hypnotherapy can help reduce anxiety symptoms and support nervous system regulation, particularly when used in a personalized, trauma-informed way.

Rather than relying on conscious effort alone, hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind and nervous system, where anxiety responses are often learned and maintained.

Anxiety often shifts quietly. Many clients notice a growing sense of safety, emotional steadiness, and trust in their ability to cope over time.

Hypnotherapy is:

• A collaborative, conscious process
• Evidence-informed and clinically grounded
• Focused on long-term nervous system change

Hypnotherapy is not:

• Mind control
• Subliminal messaging
• A replacement for medical or psychiatric care

Hypnotherapy works best as a complementary approach and can be used alongside other therapeutic or wellness supports.

Anxiety can feel like your nervous system is always on high alert, with racing thoughts, tightness in your body, or a sense that something isn’t quite safe, even when you know logically that it is.

For many people, anxiety shows up automatically. It’s not something you choose. It’s a learned response shaped by past experiences, stress, or prolonged periods of overwhelm.

Anxiety can look different for everyone, but often includes:

• Persistent worry or overthinking
• Panic attacks or sudden waves of fear
• Tight chest, shallow breathing, or restlessness
• Difficulty relaxing or “switching off”
• Anxiety that appears even when life feels objectively okay

These reactions often begin as protective responses, but over time, the nervous system can become overactive, reacting to situations that are no longer truly threatening.

This varies from person to person. Some clients notice shifts within a few sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. Navigating simple phobias and fears can often be addressed within 4 sessions, while more complex challenges including anxiety, panic, trauma and insomnia typically require 6-8 sessions. During your consultation, Kristina can help you decide what approach may be most supportive for your needs. 

My one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions (online or in person) offer real-time support, deeper dialogue, and the ability to adapt in the moment. They're ideal if you're looking for ongoing guidance, accountability, or want to work through complex or evolving issues. 

The personalized recording is a more accessible option—both in format and cost. It's a custom 20-minute hypnosis audio tailored to target one specific goal or focus, which you can listen to anytime, as often as you'd like. It’s perfect if you prefer a self-guided approach or want a powerful tool to support your growth between sessions.

Both are effective. It just depends on the kind of support you're looking for right now.

Yes. Hypnotherapy can be especially supportive for panic by helping the nervous system learn calmer responses to triggering sensations and situations. Over time, many clients experience fewer panic episodes, reduced intensity, and greater confidence in their ability to cope if anxiety arises.

No. Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness, not unconsciousness. You remain aware, present, and in control throughout the entire session. You cannot be made to do or say anything against your will.
