Anxiety Counselling in Bermondsey
Whether you are experiencing serious psychological or emotional difficulties, encountering unique challenges in your life, or just want to deepen your self-exploration, "the talking cure" is a way of easing suffering and engendering personal growth. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I provide a space of deep listening and reflection. An integrative approach means that as a therapist I respond to your unique needs, rather than applying a model of treatment onto you. The frequency and duration of therapy varies depending on your needs and desires. Please see my website to read more about my background and clinical approach.

They can be stuck for many reasons, but commonly this is anxiety, depression or life events, including the death of someone close, the loss of a job or illness, to name a few.
I work integratively, which means that I have a toolkit of approaches that we choose from, guided by where the source of your problems lie, e.g. if you believe you have several parts of you that argue internally, we may run an experiment to make the conversations explicit so we can examine the internal conflict and negotiate a way forward.

You may look like you are coping on the outside, while inside you feel anxious, exhausted, or unsure how much longer you can keep going this way.
People often tell me they feel at ease quickly, that the space feels safe enough to be honest, sometimes for the first time. Together, we explore the patterns that shape how you relate to others and respond to pressure, and begin to find a different way. My approach is tailored to you, flexible and shaped around what you need.

I help people who feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in unfulfilling patterns in themselves, their relationships, or their sense of direction.
Many difficulties people bring to therapy don’t stem from conscious thought, but from how past experience lives on in the mind and body. Early or overwhelming experiences, along with beliefs shaped by social and cultural conditioning, can form patterns of reactivity and ways of behaving that operate outside awareness. Yet these patterns show up here and now, where they can be met, explored, and responded to differently. In therapy, we work with this living process so new understanding, choice, and more integrated change across safety, belonging, authenticity, value, freedom, and meaning can emerge, not just cognitive insight.

Anxiety Counsellors
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.
What are the most common types of treatment 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.
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.
