Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

for Anxiety & Avoidance

in Oxfordshire

Supporting adults, teens, and children to overcome

anxiety, avoidance and self-doubt

and move forward with confidence and control.

A quick introduction from Rachel…

Who I work with

Anxiety can show up differently depending on your age and circumstances.

I support:

Adults feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, avoidance, or overthinking
Teenagers struggling with confidence, school pressure, or social anxiety
Children experiencing anxiety, worries, or sleep difficulties

Learn how this therapy works
best hypnotherapy service

My work is grounded in cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy.

That means we focus on:

+ understanding how anxiety patterns are formed
+ changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours
+ reducing avoidance safely and at your pace
+ using hypnosis to reinforce change, not replace it

A practical, evidence-based approach…

“I Highly recommended, Rachel tailors the sessions to your needs and provides the perfect environment to succeed.

Well worth making the initial call to see what can be achieved.”

- Neil

+Anxiety is stopping you (or your child) from doing everyday things

+ Avoidance feels safer short-term but your life is shrinking

+Overthinking is exhausting and it’s hard to switch off

+Your confidence has taken a knock after stress or burnout

+You worry at night, which is affecting sleep
