All of us are a troika of thinking, feeling and doing. Are these 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. We are wired to be acutely aware of potential dangers. 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? Do our feelings control us?
Fear can keep us safe. But we did not evolve to be on continual high alert. It's draining. Especially when our radar turns in ourselves and we constantly keep a critical spotlight on all what we think and feel. When anxious thoughts take control of us, it's not long before we lose a sense of who we are. I can help reverse the process. Let me show you how.
You know how you'd LIKE to feel. I can help you move from where you are now, to where you would rather be instead. And because you know how you feel, and how you'd rather feel instead, you don't need to share any personal information with me. So it's 100% confidential. Do you want just to survive? Or flourish and thrive? Regain control of how to feel.

Many therapists usually apply a particular therapy in which they are trained. My approach is to fully ascertain the nature of the problem and then apply the most appropriate interventions. My background in anthropology enables me to relate our evolutionary development to current neuroscience, and that informs how best to deal with negative thoughts and feelings of low mood.
