About this work
What anxiety coaching with Nicky Anstey actually is
Anxiety coaching with Nicky Anstey is one to one work for high functioning business owners, senior leaders and professionals living with chronic anxiety, broken sleep and a nervous system that never switches off. Nicky is a multi award-winning Executive Psychotherapist, Master Hypnotherapist and Master NLP Coach. Her anxiety coaching integrates psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and NLP with practical nervous system work, using the trademarked Rewire Method. The result is a quieter mind, returning sleep, and a body that stops spiking at every email.
High functioning anxiety
High functioning anxiety is still anxiety
On the outside, you are the one who copes. You keep the diary. You deliver. You hold the people around you together. On the inside, the tape is always running. Did I say the right thing. Are they annoyed. Am I falling behind.
You might have had doctors tell you everything looks fine. You might never have been formally diagnosed. You might have convinced yourself it is just how you are. It is not. It is a pattern, and it is rewirable. Underneath it usually sits some mix of perfectionism and people pleasing.
According to NHS Digital, anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health concerns in the UK. High functioning anxiety is widely under reported because the people living with it are still able to do their jobs.
How the work moves
Anxiety Coaching and Hypnotherapy for High Functioning Professionals
Anxiety is addressed on three levels at once. The nervous system. The unconscious pattern. The everyday life in which it is showing up.
Inside the Rewire Method, the right tool is used for the right block. Hypnotherapy for the unconscious response. Psychotherapy for the root pattern. NLP for state change in specific moments. Performance nutrition where biology is part of the picture.
What this work is built to shift:
- A racing mind that does not switch off.
- Broken sleep, early waking, tight chest, muscle tension.
- Constant low level dread with no clear cause.
- Overthinking and replaying conversations.
- An inability to rest or enjoy time off.
- Panic responses around speaking, difficult conversations, big moments.

Why Nicky
Why Work With Nicky Anstey
She has lived it. Nicky experienced severe burnout during her own corporate career, then built her businesses through significant personal and health challenges. The story is not background. It is the reason the work goes deeper than most coaching.
She has the qualifications to go deep. Nicky is a qualified Executive Psychotherapist, Master NLP Coach, Master Hypnotherapist, Master Life and Business Coach, and a Registered Nutritionist aligned with medicine. Five disciplines inside one practitioner. Most coaches hold one.
She has the results. Over 1,000 clients have worked with Nicky and gone through the trademarked Rewire Method. Reduced pressure, clearer thinking, stronger leadership, healthier lives.
She is not a generalist. Nicky works specifically with high-achieving business owners and senior leaders. The people who others assume are fine, because they are still performing. Read more about Nicky here.
