High-functioning anxiety
Nobody sees how much effort “fine” is taking.
You replay conversations long after everyone else has moved on.
You plan for every possible outcome, then still doubt yourself.
You feel relief when somebody else cancels.
You are exhausted, but slowing down makes your mind louder.
Reassurance helps briefly, then the doubt returns.
You manage the day and unravel when there is finally nothing left to do.
Anxiety is not always panic. Sometimes it is a life quietly organised around preventing panic.
Your mind has become extremely good at looking for risk. It checks your body, other people’s reactions and every possible outcome. Each check feels sensible in the moment. Together, they keep your system behaving as though danger is always one step away.
You may understand logically that many of your fears are unlikely, while the automatic response still arrives before logic gets a vote. Our work focuses on changing that response.

Focused work for people ready to move beyond the pattern.
A fast, structured process for people who are ready for something to change.
01
Initial consultation
In your one-hour online consultation, we talk about what you would like help with. I explain how the programme works, including the session options and prices, and answer your questions before you decide whether you would like to book.
02
One to four sessions
Some clients find one or two sessions are all they need. Each option can be booked as a live online session with me or in person at Harley Street. I recommend the appropriate option after your consultation.
03
Support that continues
Every client receives supporting audio and ongoing support from me as part of the programme.
Founding certified practitioner
Advanced hypnosis-based work, built into my focused approach.
I am a Founding Certified DELETE Method Practitioner, qualified as part of the first practitioner cohort.
The method is structured, directive and focused on changing the automatic response that is operating now, without requiring a detailed backstory or a search for one original cause.
How I use the DELETE Method →Louise Squires · Experience and professional standing
Specialist help, grounded in extensive clinical experience.
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist specialising in anxiety, panic and phobias. My style is direct, warm and focused.
I have worked with more than 1,000 private clients and delivered over 100 talks. I work with the pattern underneath the overthinking, avoidance and physical anxiety, helping your mind respond differently where it currently reacts automatically.
You do not need to arrive calm, articulate or certain that hypnotherapy will work. You do need to be open to a focused approach, willing to engage with the sessions and support, and ready to move towards the outcome you want.
