Anxiety doesn't just live in your thoughts—it echoes loudly in your body. For the driven, high-achieving individual, anxiety often masks itself as perfectionism, overthinking, and a relentless pressure to hold everything together. Privately, however, it leaves you stuck in a state of constant physical tension, nervous system overdrive, and a secret fear that the ground beneath you might shift at any moment.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling for individuals navigating high anxiety, deep-seated fears, panic, and chronic worry. In our sessions, we address your anxiety from two essential angles: the mind and the body. We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle unhelpful thought loops, manage a loud inner critic, and build practical mindset tools. At the same time, we bring in neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting to go beneath the surface. This allows us to locate, process, and safely release the hidden physical weight of fear and anxiety right where it is stuck in your nervous system.Whether your anxiety is tied to a major life disruption—such as relationship strain, career transitions, or perimenopause—or manifests as profound loneliness and self-doubt, our goal is to help you slow down. Together, we will calm your nervous system, build emotional regulation strategies, and help you step out of overwhelm into a more grounded, resilient, and intentional way of living.

Sometimes Anxiety suddenly appears, unbidden, in your body, often in the chest or tummy. Find the unnoticed trigger that has caused this anxiety and the anxiety may fade. Sometimes we know what we are anxious about - or afraid of . Again a counsellor can help to process that anxiety and so reduce it. Sometimes we feel anxious or fearful because something else, perhaps pharmaceuticals or a present situation, is the 'real' cause and finding and processing that reason and using the tricks and tools we have may help you control the anxiety. Let's explore what is causing your symptoms?

Kirsty Matthews
Counsellor/Therapist, MA CCC
You can't go around your feelings, you can only through them. So much of our anxiety comes from trying to avoid our uncomfortable feelings. I provide a compassionate, non-judgemental space for clients to freely express themselves and to explore their issues openly. Together we can learn how to confront challenges, heal trauma and develop self-compassion to enhance your life and move closer toward your goals.
