Perhaps you are wondering why choose to work with me or what would this look like? We can begin with exploring what you are going through and look to increase awareness and understanding of the impact of these lived experiences, and possibly identify the origins. Your journey and experiences are unique. You bring your story and together we will navigate the feelings, thoughts, emotions and behaviours, validate the impact and create a clear picture of the change you might hope to achieve. Through this process we can also explore ways you can best implement change for an improved lived experience.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed with too much going on
What I offer is a space you can enter - pause - stop - and focus on yourself. I will not ever judge you or your ability to cope - I will genuinely try to support you and help you unpick your difficulties. That involves more than just passively listening and acknowledging. I will be active in the dialogue and bring my knowledge and experience "in the room".

I’ve worked in private practice, charities and the NHS with a range of individual issues, particularly depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and historical trauma; couples work includes relationship breakdown, affairs, communication and conflict challenges.
In session, I'll listen, ask questions, share thoughts and feelings and ensure our pace and direction feels right for you. I like to communicate plainly and clearly, (without ‘therapy speak’), and aim to bring compassion, creativity, acceptance and myself to our meeting, as a therapist and human being; I'm very much not a 'blank page'.

I’m a psychotherapist and recovery coach offering a calm, grounded space for people who feel stuck, bound, or unsure how to change. Often this shows up as a quiet sense that something isn’t right, sometimes as more urgent patterns that feel difficult to shift. My work is especially focused on addiction and recovery, alongside the deeper patterns that sit beneath them. I don’t offer quick fixes or directive solutions. Change, in my experience, happens more softly and at a pace that respects the person in front of me. The work is exploratory rather than prescriptive, and rarely linear.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed and anxious?
Are you looking for support with anxiety and low self esteem? Through hypnotherapy, we can explore the beliefs and behaviours that are currently holding you back and release them. When you know deep in your bones that you 'are' in fact good enough, your self image begins to shift, and there's no telling what you can create in yourself and your life.

Sometimes life's challenges can feel overwhelming and - even if you've coped in the past - you might start to feel anxious, low or stuck.
I work with those who feel overwhelmed by the emotional and practical demands of life - juggling family, work, ageing parents and changing identities. Many women I support feel burnt out, exhausted and unsure of who they are beyond caring for everyone else. They might be struggling with the physical and emotional changes of the menopause or peri menopause, or coming to terms with their kids leaving home and facing the prospect of an empty nest. Often, the coping strategies they have used in the past don't seem to be working any more. Having a calm, safe space to talk things through can help to make sense of what's going on.

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.
