Relieve Your Anxiety with Hypnotherapy
A collaborative process to reduce anxious patterns and practise safer responses
Hypnotherapy for anxiety with Fabio Morus combines Ericksonian hypnosis, CBT-informed tools, relaxation, guided imagery and between-session practice to help you recognise triggers, regulate your body and respond more flexibly to anxious thoughts. The process does not promise an instant cure and does not replace medical, psychological or psychiatric care when that support is needed. The first conversation is used to understand your situation, explain the limits of the work, map practical goals and decide whether hypnotherapy is appropriate at this stage.

Who this page is for
This page is for people dealing with persistent worry, body tension, difficulty relaxing, racing thoughts, anxiety before sleep, mild social anxiety or fear of losing control in specific situations. It may also support people who already have therapy or medical care and want an additional practice focused on emotional regulation.
Anxiety does not look the same for everyone. Some people notice chest tightness, palpitations, restlessness and difficulty concentrating. Others notice avoidance, a need for control, irritability or lasting fatigue. That is why the work begins by understanding your real anxiety pattern instead of applying a generic script.
When to seek medical or psychological help
Seek medical, psychological or psychiatric assessment if symptoms affect your daily life, if panic feels intense, if medication is involved, if depression is present, if there are thoughts of self-harm, new physical symptoms or a sense that you cannot function normally. In those cases, hypnotherapy may be integrated into care, but should not stand alone.
Clinical guidance such as NICE CG113 treats generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder as conditions that may require stepped care, including education, psychological interventions, risk assessment and, in some cases, medication prescribed by a qualified professional. Fabio does not change or stop medication and encourages shared decisions with healthcare providers.
How sessions work in practice
First, you describe situations that activate anxiety, previous attempts to cope and concrete goals. Instead of focusing only on “being calm”, the process looks for observable signs: sleeping better, entering a meeting with less tension, driving more safely or interrupting worry cycles earlier.
In sessions, Fabio may use Ericksonian language, relaxation, breathing, visualisation, cognitive reframing, mental rehearsal and safety anchors. Hypnotic work is consent-based and you remain involved throughout the process. Between sessions, small tasks help transfer change into real situations.
What to expect from the first session
The first session is not a promise of immediate transformation. It is used to understand the history of the anxiety, explain the difference between clinical hypnosis and stage hypnosis, answer questions and decide whether a realistic plan can be made. Some clients leave with a simple practice; others first need to organise priorities and boundaries.
The pace depends on complexity. Anxiety linked to a specific situation is usually easier to map than generalised anxiety, trauma, disabling symptoms or recurring panic. When another form of support is more appropriate, that is discussed clearly.
