Practical support to help you visit the dentist with more confidence and calm
Accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist
I know how exhausting dental anxiety can be. I help clients safely update the automatic responses that make visiting the dentist difficult, so they can attend appointments with more confidence and calm.
Anxiety about visiting the dentist often starts long before the waiting room. Perhaps the moment a reminder message is received or when an appointment is booked.
For those caught in this cycle, the challenges may include:
This ongoing cycle of stress and avoidance can severely impact oral health, confidence, and overall well-being.
Logic doesn’t stop the fear: Dental anxiety is an automatic, subconscious response. Lying back in a dental chair can trigger a ‘survival’ response, even though the rational brain knows you are safe and in good hands.
Hypnotherapy aims to bypass the logical part of the brain and communicate directly with the subconscious. This enables us to safely update automatic patterns so that the sensation of being in the dentist’s chair no longer triggers a distressing physical response.

Request a phone callNo. Clinical hypnotherapy focuses heavily on the present. We look at the process of the problem—how the mind is creating the anxiety right now—and explore how to safely update that pattern. You are never pushed to share more than you feel comfortable with.
The goal is to help you build your confidence as quickly as possible. Around three to six sessions are typically recommended to help with dental anxiety. We will review your progress at each session to ensure you are building the mental framework and physical relaxation tools needed for your next dental visit.
Sessions are held via secure online video calls (telehealth). This allows you to learn new skills and practice calming techniques in the comfort of your own home, well before you ever step foot in a dental clinic.
