Anxiety Counselling in Dereham
I am able to work with many issues that may be causing distress of difficulties in life, anxiety, stress, self esteem, confidence, bereavement, suicide, suicide ideation, self harm, health anxiety, and any other issues that may cause unbalance.
I am an Integrative Therapist and fully believe every individual has the ability to make changes for themselves...sometimes it takes for someone to walk with you on that journey to help you see, support and nurture what is already there but hidden from view. I pride myself on providing a confidential, safe, welcoming space for people to feel comfortable to explore any feelings and emotions which may be causing some discomfort in their every day life.

CBT is great for treating anxiety - it is daunting to leave your comfort zone, but the results of less fear/ anxiety, and higher confidence in yourself are absolutely worth it!.
I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist, and an EMDR therapist. If you're struggling with difficulties related to previous traumas or painful memories from the past, then I can help you to make sense of these, understand why you're feeling so overwhelmed, and then process the painful memories and emotions in order to help you to feel calmer and more content. I also specialise in helping people with anxiety disorders (like OCD, social anxiety, and health anxiety). I will help you to understand what is keeping you trapped, and to build the confidence and skills to challenge yourself, and face the things that scare you.

Life can get pretty tough. You may feel stuck, directionless and generally dissatisfied. Or you may be struggling with something specific, a difficult situation, anxiety or circumstances that feel overwhelming and out of control. Likewise, you might be experiencing difficulties in relationships, feel isolated or struggling with the way you see/feel about yourself in one way or another. Any of these may be a signal that it’s time to look beyond yourself to help make sense of your feelings or situation and find some kind of resolution. This is where I may be able to help.

I know what it's like to feel anxious, disconnected, unsafe and numb to life.
Are you struggling to work out who you are, feeling othered, the odd one out, having different views about society? Are you using behaviours involving food - bingeing, restricting, avoiding, exercising or being sick as a mask for feelings? You may have sought external validation through diagnoses e.g. ADHD, Autism, BPD, OCD, CPTSD to name but a few. You may have had different types of therapy before through the NHS. You are longing for an answer to your eating difficulties, trauma or identity. You hide behind a mask of anxiety - maybe 'high functioning'? You may be unsure of where you sit on the gender and/or sexuality spectrum

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
