Through practice you will feel better able to manage stress and anxiety, and more in control of your life.
If anxiety, overthinking and worry are interrupting daily life, you may feel stuck and unsure how to change this. Let's face it, most of us have never been taught how to manage emotions, so we bury them and hope for the best. Our mind then regurgitates our usual worries and fears, and the cycle repeats. The good news is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can provide a clear path to understanding your thoughts and feelings (there is always a reason), and finding solutions that work for you. In your CBT sessions you can learn strategies to move from worry to calm, from overwhelm to being in control, and get back to being you.

As a Health Psychologist, I specialise in working with women’s health (e.g., menopause and menstrual conditions), stress and burnout, chronic pain, and managing long-term conditions (e.g., heart conditions, diabetes, chronic fatigue, long Covid, and gut health).
Others come to me due to changes in their sleep or activity levels, or with low self esteem, chronic stress, and loss of identity. I also help people understand the ‘why’ behind their health behaviours, and how they can begin to change them. Together we build your understanding, and bring in approaches based on your goals and what is most important to you.
