Work-related Stress or Burnout - How Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy is a great tool to help people deal with stress, helping them rediscover their inner confidence and positivity, which in turn can help them stay in careers they’ve built, and help employers to keep their valuable skills and experience.

I recently learned that a shocking 22 million working days are lost each year in the UK to stress, anxiety or depression, with employees taking an average of 23 days off and costing employers a huge £51 billion (Source HSE 2024). It’s important to remember too that these numbers are made up of individuals experiencing real challenges; symptoms such as recurring illness, insomnia and self-doubt.

I know that many organisations value staff wellbeing and have employee assistance programmes in place, but I’m also aware that this isn’t always enough. Staff don’t always feel comfortable discussing how they feel with their managers or might feel that to do so could impact their careers. Or they may have used the assistance programmes before, but don’t feel it’s for them.

I often see clients who are experiencing this, and love working with individuals to support them in their recovery, but I wanted to offer something that would introduce employers to the huge benefits that hypnotherapy can offer in areas of stress and long-term sickness. Something that would complement their existing employee assistance programmes, or give relaxation tasters for staff teams. So I have developed a staff wellbeing offer; starting with small group relaxation sessions for up to 12 people, right the way through to one to one support for valuable staff members who are going through challenges. Hypnotherapy is a great tool to help people deal with stress, helping them rediscover their inner confidence and positivity, which in turn can help them stay in careers they’ve built, and help employers to keep their valuable skills and experience.
