Anxiety Treatment in Townsville

Feel calmer. Regain control. Get back to living your life.

Anxiety can affect your thoughts, your sleep, your relationships, your work and even the things you once enjoyed doing.

You may be constantly worrying, overthinking, experiencing panic attacks, avoiding certain situations or simply feeling that you can’t switch off. Sometimes you know there is no logical reason to feel this way, but that doesn’t make the feelings any easier to deal with.

If anxiety is affecting your life, we’re here to help.

At the Hypnosis & Emotional Freedom Centre in Cranbrook, Townsville, we work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, panic, fears and related emotional difficulties. We take the time to understand what you’re experiencing and develop an approach tailored to you.

Start with a conversation — not a commitment

Does this sound like you?

Anxiety doesn’t always look the same for everyone.

For some people, it’s constant worry and overthinking. For others, it’s panic attacks, fear, avoidance or a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

You may be finding that anxiety is affecting parts of your life that used to feel normal.

You might be experiencing:

  • Thoughts that won’t switch off
  • Constant worry or overthinking
  • Feeling tense, overwhelmed or on edge
  • Panic attacks or sudden waves of anxiety
  • Fear of particular situations or places
  • Avoiding things because you’re worried about how you’ll feel
  • Difficulty relaxing or sleeping
  • Racing heart, tight chest or other physical sensations
  • Loss of confidence
  • Feeling that anxiety is controlling your choices

You may even understand logically that you’re safe, but still feel anxious.

That’s because knowing you’re safe and feeling safe aren’t always the same thing.

If anxiety is affecting your everyday life, the first step is simply understanding what’s happening and finding the right support.

You don’t have to work it out on your own.

How We Can Help With Anxiety

With experience helping people since 1998, the HEFC team takes a personalised approach to anxiety, stress, fears and related concerns.

A personalised approach to anxiety

Anxiety can develop for many different reasons, and everyone experiences it differently.  That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.  Depending on your individual needs, your sessions may incorporate:

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Working with patterns of thought, emotions and behaviours that may be contributing to anxiety.

EFT Tapping

A practical technique that some clients find helpful for managing difficult emotions and anxious feelings.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Talking through what you’re experiencing and developing a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Other techniques where appropriate

We may draw on additional approaches depending on your circumstances and goals.

You don’t need to know which approach is right for you.

That’s what your initial conversation is for.  We’ll listen to what’s happening, answer your questions and explain how we may be able to help.

You're Not the Only One

People come to us with very different experiences of anxiety, panic, fear and overwhelm. Here are just a few of their stories.  

It has been Life Changing”

“I highly recommend Colin from Hypnosis & Emotional Freedom Centre. Colin helped me to learn new skills to manage anxiety which I have had for years. I have had over a hundred sessions of talk therapy over the years which have not helped in any lasting way.  After 4 or 5 sessions with Colin I finally have the tools to manage my anxiety. It has been life changing.”   Alison, (Bowen)

 

“My only Regret is Not doing it Sooner”

“After years and years of trauma I became so anxious that I unfortunately formed agoraphobia.

18 months I was house bound unable to make it past my mail box.  3 weeks working with Colin and I have spent every single day outside of my home, I’ve taken my kids to school, we’ve gone to the beach and we’ve even spent a night away.  If you’re considering taking the hypnosis route I strongly recommend.

I was so scared for so long, and my only regret is not doing it sooner.  Thankyou Colin for my life back, my children and I are forever grateful.”  Shannah Wilson, (Townsville)

 

“He helped give me back my Confidence”

“My anxiety was in such a bad state that I couldn’t drive any more, I was afraid of being in small spaces with the doors closed, my panic attack were multiple times daily with no real reason.

My first session with Colin was intense but a few days after I started to feel more relaxed, minutes after my second session I started to drive again, I didn’t feel so panicked in smaller spaces and I use the tapping method every time I feel anxious and within minutes I feel fine again. My third session showed me how far I had come in such a short amount of time.

I highly recommend Colin, he is easy to talk to and has zero judgment, he helped give me back my confidence and I’ll forever be grateful.”  Samantha, (Townsville)
