Return To Work Anxiety



Returning to work after time away can feel very daunting. Whether you haven’t been at work because of illness, maternity leave, bereavement, or you now have to return to the office after the Covid pandemic, a long time away from the workplace can create feelings of dread and anxiety. Change is something that many people fear and dread, and returning to work can find you battling sleepless nights, panic attacks and nausea.

Just a few weeks away can make you feel disconnected from your role and working life. This has been exacerbated with most people working remotely for the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic. Seeing people on-screen for that time and suddenly having to see everyone in person again can feel overwhelming.



Millions of working days are lost due to work-related stress every year...which can then make it even more difficult for the absent employee to return.



Preparing yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and psychologically can make the return to work process so much easier. Hypnotherapy for return to work confidence can help to address and eliminate those fears, taking away the anxiety and stress about your return.

Benefits of Using Hypnosis for Returning to Work

Imagine walking back into your workplace, or starting a new role feeling confident and assured. Hypnotherapy can take away the feelings of stress, doubt and anxiety and help your return to work feel achievable and less overwhelming.  

Using my hypnosis treatment sessions will:

  • Alleviate stress and anxiety

Cost of Hypnotherapy

For return to work anxiety, hypnosis is a highly effective treatment. The number of sessions you need will depend on the severity of your anxiety. I must stress that hypnotherapy is not a ‘one-time quick-fix’ therapy. Like counselling for example, a series of sessions will help you much more and prepare you properly for your return to work. 

How Hypnotherapy Works for Return to Work Anxiety

Your return to work anxiety hypnotherapy sessions are all about getting you feeling confident in yourself and enthusiastic about going back to the workplace. I will help you turn your self-doubt and feelings of dread into appreciation. Appreciation of your strengths and good qualities so you can walk back into the workplace with confidence and ease.

The deep relaxation and use of your imagination during hypnosis will help enable you to get back to a place where you felt positive and assured of your job role capabilities and comfortable around other people.

What to Expect from your Hypnotherapy Anxiety Session

After your initial consultation which will focus on the root of your fears and anxiety about your work return, you’ll be ready for your hypnotherapy sessions. As we start, I’ll guide you into a deep, relaxed state. This relaxation enables the mind to be much more open to suggestion and change. Once you’re in this relaxed stage, I’ll make suggestions to enable you to change your thought patterns around returning to work.

I’ll discuss these with you beforehand and will change the suggestions to what you’re comfortable with. After the session you should feel confident and enthusiastic about returning to the workplace. Without feelings of dread, anxiety and nausea.
