You may have recently entered into a new relationship or had a significant change in your life and now feel overcome with strong emotions. Or you may be feeling unable to feel anything, which is impacting your ability to enjoy life. You might find that anxious thoughts are getting in the way, that your sleep is poor and you are less able to cope with stress. I want to support you to overcome your symptoms and experiences to lead a better life. I will help you by tracing the origins of your feelings to help you overcome them for good rather than just giving you tips and tricks. But don't worry, there will also be tips and tricks!

This form of psychotherapy produces excellent results in cases with Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, and Panic Disorders, particularly when they start after having some bad experiences in life.
Life is a continuous process of experiences & challenges every passing day poses to us. Every experience leaves baggage behind for us to deal with. Sometimes the baggage gets too heavier and burdensome for us to carry. Our health, functioning, self-care, and relationships, all get affected because of this baggage. Psychotherapy is a way of getting liberated of the baggage from the past and for getting prepared for the upcoming life challenges.

When anxious thoughts take control of us, it's not long before we lose a sense of who we are.
UPDATE -I am in the UK for the forseeable future but happy to work online. All of us blend thinking, feeling and doing. Are these three in balance? Or do we think too much? Anxiety can seem like our brain is on steroids. Our brain evolved 200,000 years ago. It learned to keep in mind memories of past stressful events. . Being alert to potential danger can help us be proactive to confront challenges. It helped us survive. But keeping all the pains of the past in the present is debilitating. So, given that we don't want to feel continually stressed, how do we WANT to feel instead? Are we prisoners of our feelings?

While I enjoy working with clients facing a wide range of difficulties, I have a particular interest in anxiety, OCD and trauma.
My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. ​Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

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.
