Anxiety Specialist. I call anxiety “the Internalised Bully”. Countless clients have said “that’s it” when I demystify what is happening to them. I assist clients to understand how anxiety works in their thinking, the difference between reasonable concerns and fears that are particular to them and the painful thought processes associated with anxiety and ways to deal with this. Therapy involves massaging the neuroplasticity of cognitive change. Knotted thoughts are kneaded to soften a space for intentional ways of thinking, thus creating preferred directions, making well informed thoughtful choices.
A keen interest and curiosity in wellbeing and mental health dating back as far as I can remember has been the motivation for my 20+ years of accumulated knowledge and expertise. I am passionate about learning and sharing what assists to take a person in their preferred direction.
I offer a collaborative, respectful and warm approach to working with people as they navigate their way through the effects of problems on their lives that culminate in feeling anxious. I assist clients to bring their wisdoms forward. Together we develop a purposeful understanding of what is important, what matters to them.
