Hypnoanalysis & Psychoanalysis for Anxiety, Relationships, Perimenopause & Deep Emotional Change
You look fine.
That’s the problem.
You function.
You cope.
You get on with it.
But inside?
You overthink conversations for hours.
You replay things you said.
You anticipate other people’s reactions before they’ve even had them.
You draft texts and delete them three times.
You soften your opinions mid-sentence.
You over-prepare for things other people wing.
You feel responsible for the emotional temperature in every room.
And you’re tired.
Not dramatic.
Not falling apart.
Just quietly exhausted from holding yourself together.
If that feels uncomfortably familiar, you’re in the right place.
I am a Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist and Hypnoanalyst based in South Dublin, working with women who are ready to stop coping and start changing.
What I Do (And Why It Works)
Most people don’t need more advice.
They need their nervous system to feel safe enough to live differently.
Hypnotherapy works because it speaks directly to the subconscious patterns that run your reactions, your confidence, your relationships and your stress response.
According to the American Psychological Association, hypnotherapy is recognised as a clinically effective adjunct treatment for anxiety, pain, IBS and trauma-related symptoms.
A meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found hypnosis produced significantly greater improvement than 70% of control group participants across multiple conditions.
But here’s what that means in real life:
You stop reacting the same way.
You stop spiralling the same way.
You stop choosing the same dynamics.
Because we don’t just manage symptoms.
We update the blueprint.
Issues Commonly Resolved with Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy
(And what’s actually going on underneath them)
Anxiety That Looks Like “Being Responsible”
High-functioning anxiety.
Racing thoughts at night.
Tight chest.
Overthinking.
Catastrophising.
You look capable.
Inside, you’re scanning for what might go wrong.
Clinical hypnosis has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms and improve emotional regulation.
But anxiety is rarely random.
It’s often a subconscious belief that:
“If I don’t hold everything together, something bad will happen.”
We gently dismantle that belief.
Perimenopause & Menopause:
“I Don’t Know Who I Am Lately.”
You snap and then feel guilty.
You cry and don’t know why.
You wake at 3am wired.
Your confidence has dropped.
Your tolerance is thinner.
You feel flat — or furious.
And a quiet fear whispers:
“Is this just me now?”
Perimenopause isn’t just hormonal.
It’s neurological.
It’s psychological.
It’s identity-shifting.
Research published in Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society found hypnotherapy reduced hot flush frequency by up to 74% and improved sleep and mood.
Another clinical trial showed significant reduction in vasomotor symptoms and improved quality of life through hypnosis.
But here’s what women don’t always say out loud:
“I don’t feel like myself.”
“I feel invisible.”
“I don’t want to be this irritable.”
“I’ve lost my edge.”
“I’ve lost my spark.”
Hormonal shifts lower emotional tolerance.
Old relational wounds resurface.
Old resentments rise.
Old patterns feel heavier.
Hypnotherapy during this phase helps regulate the nervous system, stabilise mood responses, improve sleep, and process the deeper emotional transitions that midlife brings.
This can be a collapse.
Or it can be a reclamation.
Relationship & Boundary Patterns
“Why Do I Keep Ending Up Here?”
You’re confident at work.
But in relationships?
You shrink.
You over-give.
You tolerate inconsistency.
You attract emotionally unavailable partners.
You say yes when you mean no.
You feel guilty asserting yourself.
In friendships, you’re the strong one.
In work dynamics, you over-function.
In intimate relationships, you self-abandon.
This isn’t weakness.
It’s subconscious relational imprinting.
Formed early.
Reinforced over years.
Psychotherapy and hypnoanalysis explore:
-
Where your relational template was formed
-
Why conflict feels threatening
-
Why boundaries trigger guilt
-
Why love feels tied to performance
Hypnotherapy updates the subconscious alarm system that says:
“It’s not safe to take up space.”
When that belief shifts, your behaviour shifts naturally.
You don’t force boundaries.
You embody them.
IBS, Gut Issues & Stress-Linked Symptoms
Your body holds what your mouth doesn’t say.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy is one of the most evidence-supported treatments for IBS.
Research from Monash University shows gut-focused hypnotherapy can be as effective as dietary intervention for IBS symptom relief.
Stress, perfectionism and suppressed emotion often sit underneath digestive distress.
When the nervous system calms, the gut often follows.
Confidence, Self-Worth & Identity Shifts
You’ve achieved things.
But you still feel like you’re behind.
Or not enough.
Or about to be found out.
Imposter syndrome.
Self-doubt.
Chronic comparison.
Hypnoanalysis helps identify the original imprint of “not enough.”
Hypnotherapy updates it.
Confidence is not built by affirmations.
It’s restored by removing the distortion.
Why Depth Work Changes More Than Surface Work
You may have read the books.
Listened to the podcasts.
Tried to think your way out of it.
But if insight alone fixed patterns, you’d already be done.
This is deeper work.
We combine:
• Psychotherapy (conscious processing)
• Hypnotherapy (subconscious updating)
• Hypnoanalysis (pattern origin work)
This is not quick-fix coaching.
It is structured, professional, psychologically informed transformation.
A Note on Reiki & Psychological Astrology
Some clients also explore:
• Reiki for nervous system calming and energy clearing
• Psychological / Holistic Astrology for identity insight and life-pattern awareness
Reiki can help regulate overwhelm in the moment.
Astrology can illuminate personality dynamics and timing cycles.
But hypnotherapy and psychotherapy create sustainable behavioural and emotional change.
That is the core of my work.
If you’re curious, you can learn more about:
• Reiki healing in Cabinteely
• Psychological Astrology sessions
But most long-term transformation begins in the therapy room.
What Working With Me Feels Like
Direct.
Calm.
Emotionally precise.
Psychologically safe.
You will feel seen.
Supported.
But also challenged.
Because real change requires both safety and honesty.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Some issues respond within 4–6 sessions.
Deeper relational or identity work may take longer-term therapy and respond better in 8 – 12 sessions. We discuss this transparently.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Clinical hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You remain aware and in control throughout.
Do you work with women only?
My work predominantly attracts women, particularly those navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, and midlife transitions.
