Phobia, anxiety and stress relief in Swansea, Llanelli and Mynyddbach

St Helens Hypnotherapy Clinic is able to provide effective clinical hypnotherapy and counselling that give relief from anxiety, stress, phobias and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

A certain amount of stress is good for you – but that stress has to be manageable and you have to be able to take a break from it. If it is unrelenting it becomes unmanageable and turns into anxiety.

Anxiety and phobias are very closely linked, and often generalised anxiety will be channelled into a phobia because it makes the anxiety more manageable and acceptable.

It is believed that at least one in four of the general population suffers from Irritable Bowel Syndrome at some point during their life. Doctors do not know what causes IBS. It is thought that certain people have a bowel sensitivity and the triggers can be anything from an infection to some sort of trauma. It is, however, accepted that stress is a large factor in IBS, although diet can also play a part in alleviating symptoms.

How my hypnotherapy and counselling treatments can provide relief:

• I recognise that true phobias generally have a cause, although the client is not often consciously aware of what this is. However, he or she does know unconsciously where the problem originates and under hypnosis we never fail to find it.
• Sometimes the client can be taken straight to one original event that started the problem and sometimes there is an accumulative sequence of events leading up to the phobia. Whatever the cause of the phobia, it can always be treated and usually alleviated by hypnotherapy or a combination of hypnotherapy and counselling.

• In extreme cases anxiety or stress can lead to panic attacks, which are incredibly frightening for the sufferer who feels he or she is about to die.
• We will treat with a combination of counselling and hypnotherapy. Your unconscious knows where your internal problems are coming from and under hypnosis you will very quickly discover these. As soon as you begin to understand your tangle of emotions you will very quickly be able to make them manageable so that you can cope with life again.

• Many doctors are now referring patients for hypnotherapy as their patients are reporting that their symptoms have been alleviated by learning relaxation techniques which allow them to handle stress in their lives more effectively and rebuild confidence. The result of this is a change in negative thinking patterns and as your mind becomes quieter, then so does your body. The mind and the body are inextricably linked, the brain and the bowel particularly so, and if you learn to calm and control your mind then your bowel will begin to behave itself!
• Our initial consultation is followed by 4 or 5 hypnotherapy sessions, depending on need, The client is also given recordings of the sessions so that he or she can practise at home and continue the treatment in their own time.
