Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Anxiety and fear are closely related to external events: they are also wired into our nervous systems, just underneath the surface of what's actually happening. I take a body-based as well as a mental and emotional approach to working with anxiety, whether online or in person, informed by somatic experiencing and Polyvagal Theory. We can also explore the links between anxiety and sleep difficulties.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
FEAR! The strongest of ALL emotions. Paradoxically it's been fundamental to our evolutionary success: fleeing predators, particularly. It's kept us alive for the 200,000 years of our existence as humans. We're not all that strong, don't have claws and fangs --but we can run long distances! And it matters not one bit that our fear of that growl in the undergrowth may be unfounded. We can get that wrong 1000 times and if we flee we survive as a consequence.
Just as your smoke alarm has one volume (LOUD!) it's natural to be fearful of what we perceive may harm us. We often overestimate the size and proximity of threats and conversely underestimate our ability to cope. Fear is powerful and can often interfere with logic and reason. That's why we need to respect fear and reassess our relationship to it. And courage is not the absence of fear; mindset is everything and mindset can be developed to ensure we have optimal strategies for the stresses and adversities that regularly afflict us.
