Hypnotherapy for Stress Nottingham
Stress is something we all experience at different points in life. In manageable amounts, it can even be useful, helping us stay motivated, focused, and able to respond to challenges. But when stress becomes constant, heavy, or impossible to switch off from, it can lead to overwhelm. You may feel as though you’re juggling too much, running on empty, or struggling to keep up with the demands of day-to-day life.
Over time, chronic stress and overwhelm can take a toll on both your mind and body, leaving you exhausted, disconnected, and unable to enjoy the parts of life that once felt easy.
What causes stress and overwhelm?
Stress and overwhelm can develop for many reasons, and often it’s a combination of factors rather than one clear cause. Common triggers include:
- Ongoing work pressure, deadlines, or career demands
- Caring responsibilities or managing the needs of others
- Relationship challenges or emotional strain
- Significant life changes, even positive ones
- Feeling stretched between too many roles or expectations
- Poor sleep, low energy, or lack of time for yourself
- Worrying thoughts that build up over time
- Feeling “stuck” in a cycle with no space to breathe
When the stress response fires repeatedly without enough time for your mind and body to reset, overwhelm can build. Leaving you feeling like you’re constantly “on”, unable to switch off, and carrying more than your brain feels able to process.
Symptoms of stress and overwhelm
Stress and overwhelm can show up in many ways, affecting you physically, emotionally, and mentally. You may experience:
Physical symptoms:
- Tightness in the chest or shoulders
- Headaches, muscle tension, or fatigue
- Sleep difficulties or waking up un-refreshed
- Digestive issues or feeling run down
- A sense of being “wired but tired”
Mental and emotional symptoms:
- Feeling unable to cope or constantly under pressure
- Difficulty concentrating or making simple decisions
- Irritability, frustration, or emotional sensitivity
- Racing thoughts or feeling mentally overloaded
- Losing motivation or enjoyment in everyday things
If you’re feeling like you’re carrying too much, struggling to slow down, or noticing that stress is shaping your days, it may be time to seek support.
And it’s important to remember you already have the inner resources to find calm, clarity, and balance again.
How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based on neuroscience, helps you understand how your brain works when stress and overwhelm start to take over. And, how it can sometimes keep you stuck in patterns of pressure, worry, and emotional overload.
By empowering you to focus on the present and the future you want, we look forward rather than dwelling on past problems or the things currently weighing you down. Through guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state, you’re able to quieten the conscious mind, soothe overthinking, and shift out of that heightened stress response.
This allows you to:
- Break the cycle of mental overload and constant pressure
- Reduce the intensity of stress and overwhelm
- Rewire the brain to build calmer, healthier patterns of behaviour
- Strengthen resilience, confidence, and emotional balance
Over time, this helps you feel more grounded, calmer, clearer, and more in control. Empowered to make real, positive changes in your life.
You don’t have to navigate stress and overwhelm alone. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers the support, tools, and guidance you need to start easing the load and reconnecting with yourself again. If you’re ready to move forward and create the calmer, more balanced future you deserve, I’d love to help.

A transformative impact on my life
Where do I begin? I never realised how much I needed Katies support until I had the privilege of working with her. Her calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. Each session was a safe space where I felt truly heard, understood, and supported.

I can't recommend this service enough
When I began hypnotherapy with Katie I was mildly sceptical and unsure of what to expect, but I noticed an improvement in my mood after even the first session. After 8 weeks I was and am totally convinced this is a lifechanging experience & practice.

A new way to approach daily life
Katie has been a huge help in giving me tools to use and a new way to approach daily life. I have had therapy in the past but this was so different - it was refreshing to not look back and drag up the past but to focus on the future.

Life changing for me
Hypnotherapy with Katie has been life changing for me and I say this as a person suffering with ME/CFS, FND and chronic migraine to the point where I was bedridden for most of 2024. The toolkit Katie instilled in me during our time has enabled me to have a quality of life that I never thought possible.
Kelly
Empowering
I can honestly say that working with Katie has been life-changing. The impact of the sessions has been profound. I no longer find myself stuck in procrastination, something I’ve struggled with for years. I now feel so much more capable of dealing with stress and difficult situations when they come up.
