Life can take unpredictable turns, leaving us in pain and disbelief. At times we get over it. At other times we dwell in there for a long time as if there was no way out. It may feel lonely and unexplainable and yet time passes by. My name is Erika Mancini. I am a Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist. I specialise in trauma, childhood trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression and relationships. I believe we are all shaped by the relationships we experienced while growing up and that this can sometimes result in adaptations or coping mechanisms that may prevent us from becoming who we really are.

I specialise in addressing a broad range of difficulties, from relationship difficulties to anxiety and depression.
There can be times in life where you might feel like the world is a hard place to navigate, often due to relational difficulties. These could derive from a number of different sources that can range from a change of circumstances to daunting past events. You might feel like you’re overwhelmed by emotions, uncertain of their origins and lacking a strategy to manage them. While therapy cannot alter your current circumstances or erase past traumas, it can empower you to build resilience, helping you navigate and grow through life's struggles. The goal is to guide you towards a more fulfilling and joyful life.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

Distress is not inevitable or permanent. To move away from distress, something needs to change. Together we can explore that something. Distress can be: anxiety, anger, depression and loss. But you are not a piece of paper to be filed, a case to be studied or a collection of symptoms to be diagnosed. You are a unique. An individual to be fully heard and supported in a safe confidential space or exploration. I counsel change in: response through choice, vulnerability through resilience, resolve through strategy. I work: with compassion and skill, without labels or judgement, but always with a passion for change.

I have worked with people facing a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, existential crisis, and sexuality and identity issues.
I offer a free 15 minute phone call before meeting. This gives you an opportunity to outline your current circumstances and enables me to consider whether I might be able to help you. Your first session will be an assessment where I will ask you some questions to better understand your past, your present and your expectations. This session is a two-way process for both of us to consider if we might be able to work together. Any ongoing therapy will last 50 minutes and would take place on a weekly basis.

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.
