Anxiety Counselling in Shenstone
Hello,
I realise how anxiety provoking and difficult it can be to take those first steps to seeking help.
For all the qualifications and different theoretical standpoints, for me, counselling and psychotherapy is about the relationship of trust between the client and the therapist. What I offer is compassion from a non-judgmental perspective as well as openness and authenticity.

I help people move beyond anxiety, low mood, and unresolved trauma so they can live with greater ease and confidence.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve spent a long time holding everything together on your own. You’ve done your best to manage, but it’s becoming harder to keep going.
You’re here because you want things to feel different: calmer, clearer, and more in your control. You don’t need to have all the answers before you start; you just need a safe, structured space to make sense of what’s happening and take steady steps forward.

Counselling can be an extra support; giving children the added time and space needed to work through their worries and feelings.
Life brings all sorts of challenges and some can be much harder to overcome than others. Most adults can remember a time when they were dealing with a situation so tough that everyday living became more challenging than usual. For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with. Many children who are having a difficult time do not know what it is that they are feeling and cannot put it into words. Counselling for children and young people might be slightly different to the traditional idea of therapy you may have in mind.

Thinking about trying to access therapeutic support for yourself, or a family member, can be a difficult and sometimes confusing process, with there being many types of therapists around, all offering slightly different experiences, often being trained in different models and approaches. It can also be a minefield trying to work out whether the person is appropriately qualified, and registered with the appropriate professional bodies. I am therefore happy to offer a short phone call, or video call, to answer some of these questions, and to see whether you feel I am the right fit for you, or your family member.

It brings company of anxiety that won't switch off, avoiding confrontation at almost any cost, a constant low hum of not being quite good enough.
I work with adults who, underneath their kindness and care, struggle with people-pleasing and never feeling good enough. I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience, including 5 in a specialist trauma service.
I've specialised in trauma and people-pleasing, drawing on hundreds of conversations with people who called themselves a 'people-pleaser' long before they ever thought to call it trauma. For many, it began somewhere specific, in childhood, in relationships that weren't quite safe enough to just be yourself. For others it was an accumulation of difficult experiences. Both matter. Both are welcome here.

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.
