Adam Stansbury

I'm Adam Stansbury, an anxiety specialist and hypnotherapist, and I work online with high functioning adults who want real freedom from chronic anxiety, overthinking and the habits that have developed around it.

I founded Inner Earth to help people navigate pivotal life moments and unlock their potential.

Most people come to me for the anxiety first, and when it has been running for years it stops being a symptom and becomes part of who they think they are. What happens after it loosens is the part I care most about, because they finally have the capacity to ask who am I now, and who do I want to be. Divorce, grief and loss, career loss, reinvention, the messy middle between an ending and a new beginning.

I came to this the long way round. Ulcerative colitis and four surgeries in my twenties, then years spent obsessed with the body, personal training, bodybuilding and nutrition, and an award for gym based personal trainer of the year in 2013.

Somewhere in there the interest turned inwards, from what the body can be made to do to why any of us do what we do at all. A period of self-discovery in 2014 was part of that, where I stopped treating my own sensitivity as a weakness and my whole life opened up. Human behaviour has had my attention ever since, and it is what took me into counselling and hypnotherapy.

If there is one thing I would argue about on air, it is that people have access to more knowledge than ever and nowhere near enough embodiment and integration. I meet clients who already have all the answers and are not applying a single one of them.

Certified hypnotherapist, DipHypCS, and a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society. Monthly columnist for Happiful magazine and author of The Journey to the Centre of Your Soul.

FYI - I'm not interested in paid podcast placements, many thanks.
