Did you discuss the hypnotherapy with your doctor before you started it? 15 sessions does seem rather a lot, especially as you say it's not helping. Have you tried CBT or talking to a psychiatrist? You can ask your doctor for a referral and it would be on the NHS.

Hi there
I have just bought a hypnotherapy CD & book - "Instant Confidance" by Paul Mc Kenna that someone on this site recommended. It cost £6.99 on Amazon and is very good. Well worth a try.
Good luck

Hypnotherapy can be extremely effective for breaking habits and starting new behaviours and as a destress / general relaxation/mediatation but if your anxiety stems from unresolved issues or self perpetuating thoughts CBT would be the preferred gold standard treatment initially as laid out by the NICE guidelines.

Meanwhile get a book on it and start yourself off.
