Anorexia is not about vanity or willpower. It is a serious and complex illness, often tied to deep anxiety, a need for control, and painful beliefs about self-worth. Recovery is possible, and it deserves proper, specialist care.
Please read first: Anorexia can be life-threatening and must be treated by your GP and a specialist eating-disorder service. Hypnotherapy does not treat anorexia and never replaces medical care. It is offered only as gentle, complementary support for the emotional side of recovery, alongside your treatment team. If you or someone you love is struggling, please speak to your doctor.
The emotional side hypnotherapy can support
Underneath an eating disorder there is almost always a great deal of emotional pain, intense anxiety, a need to feel in control when life feels overwhelming, perfectionism, and a deeply critical view of oneself. These are the areas where, alongside medical treatment, hypnotherapy may gently help.
How hypnotherapy can help, alongside your care
In a calm, deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy can help ease the anxiety that fuels the illness and begin to soften the harsh inner voice, supporting a kinder, calmer relationship with yourself as you recover with your team.
What to expect
Everything is gentle, patient and led entirely by you, with no pressure and complete confidentiality. Ann will always encourage you to stay fully engaged with your medical and specialist care, and works only as a supportive complement to it. This support sits close to work on stress and emotions and deeper psychological patterns.
