Panic attacks can feel sudden and frightening. You may notice a racing heart, breathlessness, dizziness or a fear of losing control. Some people then begin worrying about another episode or avoiding travel, crowds or other situations.
These experiences can have different causes. If symptoms are new, severe or unexplained, speak to your GP or another qualified health professional.
Worry about the next attack can make ordinary plans feel difficult. You might find yourself checking how you feel, planning escape routes or staying away from places where you fear panic might happen. These are useful things to talk through in a consultation.
David offers one-to-one online hypnotherapy for adults. In a free 30-minute online consultation, you can explain what has been happening, ask about his approach and decide whether working together feels appropriate. All consultations and sessions take place online.
David works with adults one to one and tailors sessions to the concerns they bring. He may use guided relaxation, imagery and self-hypnosis exercises to help you explore anxious thoughts and sensations. He will explain the approach and answer your questions before you decide whether to continue.
You can join from a private place that feels comfortable. In the initial consultation, you can talk about when panic appears, how it affects your plans and what you would like to change. If you are receiving medical or mental health care, you can discuss how hypnotherapy might fit alongside it.
If anxiety affects more than panic episodes, you can also read about David’s online hypnotherapy for anxiety and stress. If a particular situation has become difficult, see his page on phobias.
David may show you a simple relaxation exercise to practise between sessions, if it suits your needs. You can discuss how to use it and what feels comfortable for you.
Sessions may include guided imagery to explore how you would like to respond to situations that currently bring anxiety. David will explain each exercise before you try it.
There is no set script for every person. David will discuss your concerns and the methods he proposes, and you can ask questions before deciding whether to continue.
