Health/ Medical Anxiety

There’s something incredibly lonely about feeling frightened about your health and not feeling fully heard.

For a lot of women, medical anxiety isn’t just about a symptom or a test result. It’s about everything that came before it. Possibly being told that you’re too young, that it’s probably stress, that you should lose weight, or that you’re worrying too much. After enough experiences like that, it becomes very easy to stop trusting yourself.

Maybe you’re waiting for test results, sitting on a referral list, preparing for treatment, or trying not to panic before a dentist appointment or scan. Maybe every new sensation in your body sends your mind spiralling. You tell yourself not to Google it, but somehow you do. You try to stay calm for everyone else, while quietly carrying the fear on your own.

Medical anxiety can show up as sleepless nights, digestive problems, a racing heart, tears that come out of nowhere, or that constant feeling that something bad is about to happen.

You don’t need to be told to 'stop worrying'. You need space to feel safe again.

My role is to help you settle that constant state of alarm, quiet the fear that keeps taking over, and help you reconnect with your own inner confidence. So that when you walk into appointments, ask questions, or make decisions about your health, you’re doing it from a place that feels steadier and more grounded.

You deserve to feel heard, and you deserve support while you’re carrying all of this.

Take a look at my testimonials below, and if you feel ready, please get in touch.

• Having to face a masectomy, hysterectomy with chemotherapy after a cancer diagnosis left me an anxious tearful wreck. Being a squeemish person, carrying trauma from a childhood injury made my stress and fear even worse. I knew I needed outside support and found my angel in the form of the lovley Dee Muchmore. Reaching out to her has been the best ting ive done. Dee has taught me a number of different tools and skills to use daily and at times of anxiety and panic, even in public places, I now have the ability to use these skills and techniques to ease the panic and anxiety wherever I am. This has given me a sense of control and peace of mind over my future treatment, im facing months and months of hospital visits, but im totally relaxed now. I use the skills dee has taught me on a daily basis, they are all a major part of my life. They will always be a part of my life and as just as important as eating. Im so fortunate to have found dee, highly recommended.

• Hypnotherapy has helped me 100%, all thanks to you. It’s definitely helped with my medical problems, which can be debilitating at times. I’m at terms with it all, it’s absolutely helped.

• Dee helped me over a period of 6 weeks, to ready myself for some out patient surgery. She was very positive, encouraging , and calm. I found the process to be very relaxing and helped to take away the fear I had about the situation. On the day of my surgery I felt prepared and as calm as I could be, which was due to Dee's help. Thank you!

• I had an open mind as I was unsure what was achievable through hypnotherapy. It went far beyond any expectations. I feel much more confident in myself. My stress levels have decreased considerably and I feel much happier than I have ever felt. I am ready to face each day with new vigour and now look forward to each new day ahead. Dee is compassionate and caring and knows what she is doing so well. I felt I was in safe hands, and the sessions were also enjoyable. I could not have had a better counsellor.

• The main utility of the sessions felt to me that I enjoyed them and looked forward to them. After each session I left feeling much better than before (lighter, more relaxed, more optimistic) and they were a positive experience. I often surprised myself with all of the positive things I could come up with, lead by Dee’s questioning and probing. My long-covid symptoms did get better over the course of the hypnotherapy.
