Hypnosis for Anxiety Disorder, Panic, Fear and Phobia Melbourne

Anxiety specialist

What is Anxiety?

  • Anxiety is a natural emotional response characterised by feelings of fear, worry, and apprehension about potential threats or uncertain outcomes. It often triggers physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, muscle tension, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. While occasional anxiety can be helpful by alerting us to danger or helping us prepare, anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive worry that interferes with daily life and well-being. These disorders can include generalised anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, and related conditions, all of which can disrupt normal functioning and require targeted treatment to manage effectively. Hypnotherapy works by addressing the underlying emotional and subconscious patterns that contribute to these anxious responses, helping to restore balance and calm.

How Successful is Hypnotherapy for Anxiety Disorders?

  • As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Counsellor and Anxiety Specialist with over a decade of experience, Georgina Mitchell has helped hundreds of clients reduce anxiety, calm their nervous system and reclaim a sense of control in daily life. Through powerful, evidence‑informed hypnotherapy and counselling techniques, clients learn to recalibrate their responses to triggers, so that anxious patterns are replaced with steadier, calmer ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

  • Much of Hypfocus Therapies’ client base comes from referrals from satisfied clients, GPs, nutritionists and other health professionals who have seen the results first‑hand. This ongoing stream of word‑of‑mouth referrals reflects both the effectiveness of treatment and the high levels of trust and satisfaction reported by previous clients.

Hypnotic suggestions combined with expert Anxiety Counselling

  • Clinical hypnotherapy for anxiety is a powerful way to create lasting change in both mindset and behaviour. By working with the deeper patterns that drive worry, overthinking, panic and avoidance, hypnotherapy can help you release long‑held fears, build emotional resilience and move towards a more relaxed, confident version of yourself.

    Hypnosis and Anxiety Disorders - Why do we work with the Subconscious Mind?

  • Many therapy approaches focus mainly on conscious thoughts and coping strategies and may not fully address the impact of implicit memory, body‑based responses and subconscious learning on anxiety, fear, panic and phobias. Hypnotherapy is different because it works with both the conscious and subconscious mind, helping to update old emotional templates and automatic reactions so you can experience relief at a deeper level.

Hypnotherapy Anxiety

  • Hypnotherapy for anxiety disorders targets both the physical sensations (such as tight chest, racing heart, restlessness) and the negative thoughts and beliefs that keep anxiety going. You also learn practical self‑hypnosis and regulation techniques that you can use between sessions, so you feel more equipped to manage stress, prevent setbacks and stay on track over the long term.

    How long does it take Hypnosis to work for Anxiety?

  • Many people notice some reduction in anxiety or an improved sense of calm after their first session, as they experience what it is like to relax more deeply and think about their challenges in a different way. For best long‑term results, it is usually recommended to allow around six sessions so that new patterns have time to consolidate and become your “new normal” (you can read more about this in my blog on consistency in therapy).

A note about Georgina Mitchell, Clinical Hypnotherapist at Hypfocus Therapies

When people come to see me, they have often searched for information on anxiety symptoms, anxiety treatment, or how to get help for anxiety and stress. Many have looked up terms like “social anxiety,” “panic attacks,” “generalised anxiety disorder,” or “phobias,” including agoraphobia and claustrophobia. It’s common for people to have explored online advice for “anxiety therapy Melbourne,” “health anxiety,” or “OCD and anxiety.” Some are seeking specific solutions, such as “anxiety relief techniques” or wondering about “why am I anxious,” while others want to book with an “anxiety specialist near me.” Searching for answers is the first step for most clients before reaching out for professional support.

Anxiety Symptoms

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

The responses shown in the image are all part of our survival system, known as the fight, flight, feint, fawn, or freeze response. For some individuals, the physical reaction can be so intense that they mistake it for a heart attack. People with Anxiety Disorder often have heightened levels of vigilance. If you recognize any of the anxiety symptoms shown, it's common as we all may experience them sporadically. However, if anxiety starts to significantly impact your daily life—leading to avoidance of situations, missed opportunities, feelings of self-consciousness or self-criticism, tendencies toward perfectionism, and more—seeking support from a Hypnotherapist can be beneficial.

Quick Anxiety Facts:

  • Instances of anxiety are on the rise, marking it as the prevailing mental health concern affecting individuals globally. Statistics estimate that around 1 in every 13 people worldwide grapple with anxiety. This condition manifests in various types, including General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, as well as various fears and phobias.

    These are the 5 main categories; numerous other subheadings and related conditions exist.  

    Some anxiety traits may relate to unreasonable expectations, self-criticism, and overwhelming or traumatic events.

    Some traits may be inherited or learned through behaviour modeled by parents.

    Hypfocus programs can resolve anxiety, whatever the cause.  
    This doesn't mean having to re-live past events, but rather that the heightened response can be adjusted to a more acceptable level in the here and now.

    Hypfocus delivers a comprehensive anxiety treatment program in South East Melbourne.

Carl Jung described Anxiety as "fear spread thinly".  That's still one of the best descriptions we've heard.  The body feels something real happening even when you tell yourself there's not. 

Anxiety is a widespread problem with a range of associated symptoms. Most people feel a bit anxious from time to time, inappropriate temporary situations. But many people suffer from "general anxiety", for which they can often find no reason. This results in you worrying about almost everything, even when you know there is no need.

Very often, once sparked, it can gradually worsen or affect you in more and more situations. It can begin to limit your life and your enjoyment of it. Anxiety is a natural process; however, even the language we use to describe it feeds it.  ​Phrases like panic attacks, anxiety attacks,  anxiety disorders, anxiety panic attacks, and professional panic are all visual evocations of the state we don't want to find ourselves in.  People who have experienced fear and acute anxiety can be triggered just by thinking the words!
