Did you know that stress can change the way tinnitus feels?

Tinnitus isn't always louder because something has changed in your ears.

When we're stressed or anxious, the nervous system becomes more alert. We may become more aware of sounds, including tinnitus, and find it harder to shift our attention away from it.

This can create a frustrating cycle:
tinnitus → worry → stress → increased awareness → tinnitus feels more intrusive

The good news is that while you may not be able to switch tinnitus off, you can learn ways to change your response to it and help your nervous system settle.

This is one of the things we explore in my Finding Calm With Tinnitus sessions, using gentle Sophrology techniques including breathing, relaxation and attention exercises.

My next free online Finding Calm With Tinnitus session is coming up soon.

If you'd like to understand more about the stress–tinnitus connection and try some practical techniques for yourself, you're very welcome to join.

“You helped me by understanding the stress levels.”

This is something a client said to me during last month’s free tinnitus session, and it stayed with me.

Sometimes, we don’t realise how much stress we are experiencing or how it may be affecting the way we experience tinnitus.

Through sophrology, I guide my clients to become more aware of what is happening within themselves and to explore simple ways of responding differently.

It’s not about trying to make the tinnitus disappear.

It’s about becoming more aware of what is happening within you and discovering your own ways of finding more calm.

And sometimes, a shift begins to happen.

My next free online Calm Session is on Thursday 13 August at 7pm UK time.

A gentle opportunity to explore some simple sophrology techniques and discover how they might support you with tinnitus.

“I have decided to befriend my brain.”

This is something a client said during my last free tinnitus session, and I loved the way she put it.

Sometimes, the more we try to fight tinnitus, push it away or constantly monitor it, the more attention it can demand.

What if, instead, we could start working with our brain rather than against it?

Understanding the relationship between stress, attention and tinnitus can be an important first step towards feeling more at ease.

This is one of the ideas we explore through sophrology, using simple techniques to release tension, calm the mind and change the way we respond to tinnitus.

My next free online Calm Session is on 13 August at 7pm UK time.

A gentle space to discover practical tools for finding more calm with tinnitus.

“I am not here to fight my tinnitus.
I am learning to live with it.”

This is something a client said during one of my tinnitus sessions, and the shift in her perspective stayed with me.

She had initially been wondering how she could live better with her tinnitus.

Through the work we did together, something began to shift in the way she was relating to her tinnitus.

This is what I hope to create space for in my sessions too.

Rather than telling you how you should respond to your tinnitus, I guide you through simple practices that can help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, physical tension and stress responses, and discover what may begin to change for you.

The aim is not to make tinnitus disappear. It is to explore whether a different way of responding can emerge from within you.

This is something we explore in my free online Finding Calm With Tinnitus session on 13 August at 7pm UK time.

If you would like to discover how Sophrology could support you, you are welcome to join me.

Sophrology is a gentle practice that uses breathing, relaxation, movement and visualisation to help you become more aware of how you respond to stress.�

Relaxation is certainly part of the practice. But it is not the whole story.�

With tinnitus, Sophrology can be a way of becoming more aware of what is happening in your body, your breathing, your thoughts and your stress responses.�

The aim is not to make tinnitus disappear. It is to help you develop a different way of responding to what you are experiencing.�

Because when stress, physical tension and worry become part of the tinnitus experience, learning to respond differently through easy, practical techniques that you can use anytime and anywhere can make a difference to how you feel and how you relate to the sound.�

This is something we explore in my free online Finding Calm With Tinnitus session on 13 August 2026 at 7pm UK time.�

If you would like to discover how Sophrology could support you, you are welcome to join me.
