I also teach Autogenic Training a technique to rebalance the stress response and reduce anxiety.
Therapy can help when life is tough. In these strange and difficult times you may be feeling anxious, troubled, sad, depressed, overwhelmed, stuck or unfulfilled. I offer a supportive, confidential and open-minded space to explore life's difficulties, confusions and uncertainties. A space to be heard, to speak, feel and think freely, perhaps for the first time. Existential therapy can help you face your struggles and understand the choices open to you. Working together our purpose is to realise new understandings and ways of being so you can live a richer more fulfilling life. No subject is off limits.

As a psychotherapist I help people experiencing common mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and perfectionism.
We can all feel low and anxious from time to time depending on our life situation and/or previous experiences. However sometimes, feeling low and/or anxious can start to impact and interrupt our day to day lives and activities. Therefore, sometimes seeking help from a qualified professional can be helpful to explore the trigger for your mood and/or anxiety. As a committed, professional psychotherapist, your wellbeing is my number one priority. I am happy to guide, support and coach you, to make the choices and changes that will be beneficial for the maintenance of your wellbeing.

Anxiety can be a debilitating condition, especially when it stems from past traumatic experiences.
Trauma-focused therapy helps to address the underlying traumatic memories and triggers that contribute to anxiety. CBT, on the other hand, equips individuals with practical techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. However, a combination of trauma-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) can offer effective strategies for managing anxiety and reclaiming a sense of calm. I provide a safe and supportive environment for processing and healing trauma, and all anxiety-based issues. I offer therapy sessions over the phone and video link.

Life can, at times, feel really difficult. Sometimes we can recognise an event in our lives which has impacted us, other times we may notice an increase in anxiety or feeling low for no apparent reason. Perhaps we can identify a tendency to catastrophize or to take things personally, but it isn't always easy to know how to be any different. My clients come to me for a safe, confidential space to understand themselves better and learn to manage difficult emotions.

When this is taken away, our thoughts can trigger unhelpful behaviours, increasing low mood. Which in turn can play havoc with our emotions.

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.
