Difficulty Identifying your Feelings…..Therapy Can Help……
Do you struggle to understand or express your emotions? You may feel emotionally numb, disconnected or overwhelmed without knowing why. Many people experience this challenge often referred to as ALEXITHYMIA – difficulty identifying and describing emotions. This can affect relationships, mental health and overall wellbeing even for capable high functioning individuals.
ALEXITHYMIA is not a diagnosis or personal failing. It often develops as a coping strategy, sometimes when emotions were unsafe or unsupported earlier in life. With the right therapeutic support emotional awareness and connections can be gently rebuilt.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy For Emotional Awareness
Our practice offers mindfulness based cognitive therapy ( MBCT) to help clients develop a stronger connection to their emotional and bodily experience. MBCT is especially helpful for people who find traditional “talk therapy” challenging or feel unsure how they feel. Through a mindfulness practice such as body awareness and present moment attention clients often experience
- Improved emotional awareness and clarity
- Reduced stress, anxiety and overthinking
- Greater emotional regulation
- Stronger sense of self connection
You don’t need the “right words ” to begin…..mindfulness allows awareness to develop naturally and at your pace.

How Hypnotherapy Can Support Emotional Connection
We may integrate clinical hypnotherapy to support deeper emotional access and healing. Hypnotherapy helps calm the thinking mind and engage the subconscious, making it easier to explore emotions that may feel blocked, distant or difficult to articulate.
When combined with MBCT, hypnotherapy can
- Help access emotions beyond conscious thought
- Reduce emotional numbness and shutdown
- Support trauma informed emotional processing
- Strengthen the mind body connection
This integrative approach is particularly effective for clients experiencing emotional disconnection, chronic stress, anxiety or burnout.

If you are experiencing anxiety and feel you have already “talked it through” you are not alone. Many people seek hypnotherapy for anxiety in Chester Anxiety Therapy CBT Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness Therapy after realising that endless talking about the problem often does not resolve the problem.
You may know why you feel anxious
You may recognise your anxiety pattern clearly
Yet the anxious thoughts and physical sensations that you experience along with a loss of confidence keep returning. This is often because the anxiety you are experiencing isn’t created at a logical level of mind…..its learned and stored at a subconscious level.
Why Anxiety Can Feel So Hard to Manage
Anxiety is driven largely by the subconscious mind which controls automatic responses such as fear, stress and emotional habits.
This is why anxiety can:
Appear suddenly or without an obvious trigger
Affect your confidence in situations where you know you are safe
Persist even after reassurance or positive thinking
Show up physically ….racing thoughts, restlessness,increased heart rate, sweating, upset stomachs and insomnia.
Talk therapy can help you to understand your anxiety but hypnotherapy works at the level where anxiety is actually generated.
How Hypnotherapy Helps Anxiety
Hypnotherapy is an evidence based approach that helps calm the nervous system and retrains the subconscious respond to stress.
When working with hypnotherapy for anxiety clients often experience:
- Reduced anxious thoughts and over thinking.
- A calmer response to previously triggering situations.
- Improved confidence and a greater sense of control.
Hypnosis is a natural focused state of attention, you remain aware and involved throughout. In a relaxed, focused and aware state your mind can become more receptive to positive change.

“I visited Fiona when anxiety was starting to take a real toll on my life, preventing me from going to things such as football matches, restaurants, and even assemblies.
After several sessions, I am now completely confident in situations where I previously would have to remove myself due to panic attacks. I cannot thank Fiona enough for all of the work and help she has put in to help me get my life back on track!”Mark Turton, Chester
