Course Introduction

Anxiety is consistently the most searched for issue in both the Hypnotherapy and Counselling Directories. Clients often contact hypno-psychotherapists after having tried other therapies without success.

Dramatic improvements can be made in only a few sessions with the approach taught in this workshop. You will learn powerful tools and techniques to enable you to skilfully and effectively help your clients alleviate their anxiety.

How This Workshop Will Benefit You

Anxiety is the number one mental health issue in the world. An NHS England study found that 10.2% of adults reported experiencing an anxiety-based condition during that week.

This informative and experiential workshop will give you the confidence to work with this growing mental health issue successfully.
