Overcoming Anxiety: A Solution-Focused Approach for Men

I specialise in supporting clients from teenage years up with all types of anxiety. I see stress and anxiety can be an unwelcome companion for many men. 

Often creeping in through the stresses of work, communication challenges, feelings of overwhelm, or them simply being too exhausted to cope with life’s demands. While modern culture is making strides to encourage men to seek support, many still wrestle with the notion that asking for help signals weakness. 

Perhaps you’ve told yourself, “I should be able to handle this” or “I don’t need therapy, maybe its been suggested to you by a loved one and youdont know much about it but just find yourself resisting the idea.

I’ve heard stories like this many times from previous clients, who have gone on to make amazing leaps forwards in their lives. Here’s the truth: Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, it’s a step toward strength and empowerment. 

Why Men Feel Stuck

From a neuroscience perspective, your brain’s natural stress response can leave you feeling overwhelmed with simple everyday life. When faced with persistent pressure, finances, relationships, your amygdala, (the part of the brain responsible for triggering anxiety) goes into overdrive. This can affect your ability to think clearly, regulate emotions, and even sleep soundly. At the same time, your prefrontal cortex, the rational part of the brain, it struggles to regain control, leaving you stuck in a cycle of worry and exhaustion.

Understanding this and being aware of how it affects your feelings and then your reactions, isn’t just comforting, it’s empowering. You are not broken; your brain is simply doing its job too well in fact it thinks it’s helping you.

The good news? With the right tools, you can retrain it!

What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a powerful and effective approach that works with your subconscious mind to help you reframe the negative thoughts, break free from unhelpful habits, negative stories and regain control. It’s not about dredging up the past or reliving painful experiences. Instead, we will focus on the positive changes you want to achieve, and I will teach you strategies to reach them.

Using hypnosis, a relaxed state of focused attention, I can help guide your subconscious toward the solutions that already exist within you. Think of it as rewiring your brain for resilience, calm, and clarity.

How I Can Help You 

Through our sessions, you’ll:

• Learn practical coping strategies to manage anxiety in the moment.
• Understand the neuroscience behind why you feel overwhelmed, so you can take control instead of feeling controlled by your emotions.
• Experience hypnosis to access your subconscious mind, where deep, lasting change happens. You are always in control, you go into the drift and dream state every day, the only difference when you’re with me is I’m using supportive language that you can focus on whilst you relax.
• Build confidence and develop tools to navigate challenges at work, in relationships, and in life.

Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a brief therapy model, meaning you can see significant, positive changes in as few as six sessions. 

Whether you’re struggling to communicate at work, feel weighed down by  daily stress, or want to rediscover your energy and happiness, this approach can help.
