Resolve anxiety and regain calm, confidence and control with clinical hypnotherapy in Dublin

Complimentary 20-minute phone consultation
Resolve anxiety and regain calm, confidence and control with advanced clinical hypnotherapy in Dublin.

Anxiety can affect every part of daily life, from sleep and concentration to relationships, career, health and confidence.
With over 20 years’ clinical experience, I specialise in resolving anxiety-based disorders using a proven, specialised and results-focused clinical approach.
The goal is not simply to manage symptoms, but to identify and resolve the underlying causes of anxiety so the problem no longer returns.
If you are experiencing ongoing anxiety, worry, fear, panic attacks or feeling overwhelmed, my hypnotherapy programme is designed to identify and resolve the causes, allowing you to feel calm and back in control.
Anxiety can show up in many ways. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, ongoing symptoms that affect your wellbeing, work or relationships can be resolved with the right approach.

Many people come to my Dublin hypnotherapy practice after trying other approaches without fully resolving the issue.
The aim of this programme is to identify and resolve the underlying emotional triggers so that anxiety no longer controls your life, allowing you to feel confident, in control and at ease in situations that once felt overwhelming.
Stephen Travers trained at the Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy in Ireland and has over 20 years’ clinical experience specialising in anxiety and related conditions, including panic attacks, trauma and phobias.
He has worked with thousands of clients both in Dublin and online, using clinical hypnotherapy and advanced techniques to achieve lasting change.
Stephen was Ireland’s first Certified Havening Techniques Practitioner and is an international Havening Techniques trainer, teaching therapists and health professionals worldwide.
Many approaches focus on coping strategies or symptom management.
Using clinical hypnotherapy, I identify and resolve the underlying emotional causes of anxiety.
In many cases, these are linked to unresolved stressful experiences or past events that continue to trigger an automatic stress response.
Rather than repeatedly revisiting the past or focusing solely on managing symptoms, this approach is designed to remove the emotional charge linked to specific triggers and switch off the body’s automatic fight, flight or freeze response.
The aim is genuine freedom from anxiety, allowing you to feel confident, in control and at ease in your day-to-day life.
Clinical hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious processes that maintain the anxiety response.
Using clinical hypnotherapy combined with Havening Techniques®, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state where the emotional intensity linked to specific events, experiences and triggers can be accessed and deactivated.
This approach is designed to resolve the underlying causes of anxiety and the symptoms you are experiencing.
Havening is a neuroscience-informed, psycho-sensory approach that helps relax the mind and body, restoring a sense of safety and inner peace.
This integrated approach is designed to deliver consistent, reliable results and lasting positive change.

Panic Attacks page.
Sessions are calm, structured and professionally guided.
You do not lose control or fall asleep. Instead, you enter a state of focused relaxation where your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions, while remaining aware throughout.
Sessions are tailored to your situation and paced according to your comfort.
Many clients notice significant improvement early in the process, with continued progress across a short programme designed to resolve the issue rather than simply manage it.
Online sessions are also available for clients across Ireland and internationally.
Anxiety therapy depends on the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms. In many cases, anxiety is linked to unresolved trauma or prolonged stress responses that continue to activate the nervous system.
Through advanced hypnosis and related psychological techniques, I focus on calming and regulating the fight-or-flight response while addressing the emotional factors behind anxiety. Rather than simply managing symptoms via counselling, the aim is to resolve the underlying issues so lasting change can occur.
Hypnotherapy can be effective in producing reliable and lasting improvement once the underlying issues contributing to anxiety are properly addressed.
Many clients experience sustained positive change after their emotional triggers are processed and resolved while under hypnosis. Outcomes vary depending on the individual and the complexity of the issue.
Some clients notice positive changes after the first hypnosis session, whether that’s at my Dublin clinic or online hypnoosis in your own home, while others benefit from a short programme of sessions for optimal results.
Progress depends on your history, severity and contributing factors. The aim is to create tangible improvement early in the process while building confidence and resilience.
In many cases, yes.
Anxiety often develops when stressful or traumatic experiences have not been fully processed by the nervous system. The initial assessment involves identifying these unresolved emotional factors.
Understanding what is triggering the anxiety allows me as a hypnotherapist to focus on giving you practical tools for resolution, rather than temporary symptom management.
Yes. Online anxiety therapy follows the same professional principles as in-person sessions at my Dublin clinic.
Many clients across Ireland and beyond achieve strong results through online hypnotherapy. The most suitable format depends on your preference and the nature of the issue
Yes. Clinical hypnotherapy and Havening Techniques® are safe approaches when delivered by a trained and certified professional.
You remain calm and in control at all times while under hypnosis. If you are under GP or medical care, therapy can be coordinated appropriately alongside appropriate medical guidance.
If you are ready to feel calmer, clearer and more in control without anxiety, the first step is a confidential 20-minute phone consultation.
During this call, I will assess your situation and determine whether this approach is appropriate for you.
