What is anxiety?

Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life – for example, you may feel worried and anxious about sitting an exam or a job interview. During times like these, feeling anxious can be perfectly normal.

However, you might find it hard to control your worries. Your feelings of anxiety are more constant and can often affect your daily life. This is known as General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), a condition that causes you to feel anxious about a wide range of situations.

How can CBT and Hypnotherapy help?

Combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Hypnotherapy allows for a fast-acting treatment, helping you to make a lasting, positive change for the better. Working together, we will examine your feeling, behaviours, while embracing relaxation techniques, helping you to take control of situations and remain calm, away from our sessions.

Paul Liveras

I began treatment with Jim Thomas mid 2020 for some stress and anxiety issues I had been experiencing. A particular issue presented itself and Jim was so helpful in helping me to understand it and indeed better understand myself. His calm and controlled manner combined with hid friendly approach put me at ease and with his help I was able to process and realign some of my emotions and behaviours. I learned how to take positive thoughts and apply them to my daily life (and still do); I also found the supporting hypnotherapy homework to be really useful. I truly would have no hesitation in recommending Jim to anyone.

James is really enthusiastic to work with which is really important to me. I never felt judged by him and his calm presence was very reassuring. He also has a great sense of humour. I highly recommend him.

When I first visited James I felt my particular anxiety was causing me to go into an extreme crisis. After the very first session I left with complete peace of mind & a feeling of positivity. After a few sessions I felt I could manage the problem with the coping mechanisms he taught me & felt willing to try new distractions which have proved to benefit me physically as well as mentally. James gives you the tools to move forward and providing you are willing to go with it you will find a better version of yourself! I fully recommend you try sessions with James for whatever your issue as he can help you. A very kind, caring man who will also make you smile, which is always a good thing!

I went to see James a few times last year with mild anxiety and low confidence and since then have noticed massive improvements in myself. He has helped me mentally and physically pushing me to a healthier lifestyle. Thanks James would highly recommend.

Mags Hutchings

I have recently been diagnosed with CFS/ME. With the diagnoses came a tsunami of new and not nice feelings I had to deal with. Jim has helped with his positive attitude and the hypnosis to get through this. Sadly , even his treatment can't heal my illness, but I found that it made a huge difference in my life. He helped me to adapt and see what is important and not get to tangled up in my own negative thoughts. He helped me to tidy up in my head, sieve through the important bits and regain control of my life.

Jennifer Fox

I came to The Gentle Mind as I was having trouble confronting some obstacles in my life and came to Jim for help. After several weeks of working with Jim, I was able to make incredible improvement in overcoming these obstacles. It seemed like a miracle. Nothing I had tried before had ever worked. Jim is both very understanding and fun to work with. I would highly recommend him for what ever problem that needs to be treated.
