Break the cycle of endless overthinking. Reclaim your calm and energy — in just one session.
If your mind never switches off, if thoughts loop again and again overthinking, if you feel drained before the day has even begun — you are not alone, and there is a clear, effective way forward. Dr David Postlethwaite offers hypnotherapy for overthinking and mental exhaustion designed to get to the root cause, reset your mind, and help you feel lighter, clearer, and more rested — all in a single appointment.
With over 30 years of successful practice and degree-qualified expertise (PhD, BSc), I take a solution-focused approach that works directly with your subconscious mind to replace racing thoughts, worry, and depletion with calm, clarity, and resilience.

Why Hypnotherapy Works for Overthinking & Mental Exhaustion
Overthinking keeps your brain stuck in overdrive. It drains energy, disrupts sleep, fuels anxiety, and clouds decision-making — and the harder you try to “stop thinking,” the louder the thoughts often become. Hypnotherapy bypasses that conscious struggle to retrain thought patterns at source:
- Guides your mind into deep, restorative relaxation
- Reframes repetitive, worrying thought cycles
- Replaces mental exhaustion with a natural, steady sense of calm
- Equips you with lasting tools to protect your peace of mind long-term
As with all the issues I help clients with — from anxiety and stress to phobias and habit control, overthinking — change is possible quickly. My 2025 success rate shows 99% effectiveness for anxiety and stress-related concerns, built on helping 517 clients across all areas of support.
Frequently Asked Questions about Overthinking
❓ Can this really be resolved in just one session?
Yes. I do not believe in locking clients into multiple expensive appointments. Any properly qualified, competent hypnotherapist can create real, lasting change in a single session — and that is exactly what I deliver. Your one session includes a thorough discussion of your situation and needs, followed by the hypnotherapy work itself, plus a backup session you can use at home whenever you need it.
❓ How much does it cost?
£95 — no hidden extras. This covers your full one-to-one session in Gateshead and the downloadable backup hypnotherapy session to reinforce progress from home. There are no surprise fees and no follow-up charges.
❓ Where are you based?
My consulting room is in Gateshead — a welcoming, comfortable space designed to help you relax from the moment you arrive. Face-to-face sessions give us the best opportunity to focus fully on you and the changes you want to make.
❓ When can I get an appointment?
- Appointments: Monday to Friday — 10am to 7pm
- Phone enquiries: 7 days a week — 8am to 10pm
- If I am with a client, please leave a message and I will return your call promptly.
❓ What happens if I can’t come to Gateshead
If, for any reason, you are unable to visit my consulting room in Gateshead, I have made my hypnotherapy treatments available through Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardback editions, starting from just £9.99. While these resources are naturally not as effective as face-to-face support, they have achieved a success rate of 80%. View this and other titles on Amazon.
