What is hypnotherapy and how does it work?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness. In this naturally occurring state, a person is more open to suggestions and can more easily access their subconscious mind. At The Hypno Room, we use evidence-based hypnotherapy to help clients address underlying issues, reframe negative thought patterns, and create positive behavioral changes.

Is hypnotherapy effective for treating anxiety?

Yes, hypnotherapy can be highly effective for treating anxiety. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps identify root causes of anxiety and replace negative thought patterns with positive ones. Research shows that hypnotherapy can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms by promoting relaxation, improving stress management, and building resilience. At The Hypno Room, we specialise in anxiety treatment and have helped many clients overcome their anxiety and live more fulfilling lives.

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies depending on individual needs and the specific issue being addressed. Many clients experience significant improvements after 3-6 sessions. During your initial consultation, we'll assess your unique situation and recommend a personalised treatment plan. Some conditions may be addressed in a single session, while others may benefit from a more comprehensive approach.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Hypnotherapy is generally considered safe when conducted by a trained professional. At The Hypno Room, all our therapists are fully qualified and experienced. During hypnosis, you remain conscious and in control at all times. You cannot be made to do anything against your will. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process where you work with your therapist toward agreed-upon goals.

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

Your Therapist and Guide

Hello, my name is Chinmai and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Richmond, London. I use a specialised blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to effectively target your fears, anxiety, damaging habits and behaviours, and help you to develop tools for managing and overcoming them.

Burnout at work. Maintaining strong, supportive, and fulfilling relationships with parents, children, and partners when both time and emotional resources feel stretched and lean. I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can be because I’ve been there. My own journey through years of stress, followed by soul searching and healing, has made me deeply empathetic to others who are struggling, and my clients find my combined therapeutic approach - using two fast-acting forms of therapy - transformative.

Anxiety

Anxiety and Stress can feel overwhelming, affecting your ability to relax and focus. Hypnotherapy helps you access a calm, centred state of mind by releasing tension and negative thought patterns. Together, we’ll identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and empower you to manage stress and anxiety with confidence and ease.

Driving Anxiety

Fear and anxiety about driving can leave you feeling trapped and reliant on others. Our personalised therapy for driving anxiety is designed to gradually allow you to overcome your fears through a supportive and structured approach, giving you the tools to manage anxiety. Let go of fear and welcome the freedom of driving with peace and confidence.

Fear of Flying

The thought of flying can trigger intense anxiety for many people. With our personalised Fear of Flying course, you’ll learn to identify triggers, reframe negative thoughts, and develop calming strategies. Overcome your flying anxiety and discover the confidence to travel freely, experiencing the joy and possibilities flying brings.

Anxiety Relief

Sometimes, anxiety feels overwhelming, especially before exams, interviews or presentations. For those moments, I offer focused, one-off sessions to provide immediate relief. Using proven techniques, you’ll calm your mind, manage stress effectively, and regain control - even when time is short. Experience peace and clarity right when you need it.

Self Esteem

Self-esteem shapes how you perceive yourself and interact with the world. Influenced by past experiences and self-talk, low self-esteem can limit your potential. Our sessions will focus on cultivating self-worth, resilience, and self-respect, empowering you to see yourself with compassion and build a more positive, enduring sense of value and self.

Burnout

Burnout isn’t just about workplace stress - it’s rooted in deeply ingrained thought patterns and behaviours - perfectionism, overcommitment, and emotional exhaustion. Our tailored burnout therapy helps you uncover the psychological roots, release pressure, and restore balance, so you can recharge and thrive with renewed purpose and energy.
