Therapy for Anxiety

Living with anxiety can feel like being trapped in constant overdrive. Your thoughts race, your chest feels tight, and even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. You might overthink every decision, replay conversations endlessly, or feel stuck in a cycle of worry that’s impossible to break. Anxiety can take a toll on your relationships, your career, and your sense of control over your life.

Need Help with Anxiety?

Anxiety can turn the simplest of tasks into something that feels totally impossible. Or even worse it can leave you feeling useless, pathetic and hopeless.

That’s a painful way to be approaching each day.

You might find it’s only one or two things that trigger your anxiety. Alternatively, you might feel like you don’t know who you are anymore because it’s crept into every single area of your life.

Anxiety isn’t just about overthinking or worrying—it often has deeper roots in past experiences, emotional wounds, or relational patterns. My relational approach to anxiety therapy helps us explore the emotional and relational triggers behind your anxiety. We’ll look at how your experiences have shaped your responses and work toward creating a deeper sense of safety and calm in your life.

 

How I can help

Counsellors and psychotherapists all work in different ways. I’m what’s called a “humanistic integrative” psychotherapist which simply means that:

  • I don’t just focus on your anxiety. I take into account all of you – your emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and also your history, your hopes and dreams and your spirit. You are a human being, not a label or a diagnosis to be solved.
  • I see us as being on an equal footing. I’ve spent a long time learning about people and relationships and what causes anxiety and what to do to relieve it – but I know that you are the expert on you.
  • I integrate different theories about psychological dis-ease and growth. This is a bit like me having a big toolbox. This means I am able to draw on a mixture of different tools depending on what works best for you.
