Anxiety, Stress and Worry affects us all. We evolved to deal with stressful threats every now and again. We are not evolved to deal with the sheer uniquely and prevalence of stressful situations that pervade our homes, communities and workplaces. Worry about the past and keeping the pain of the past in the present is widespread. Anxiety about the future invariably involves perceptions about what we imagine may happen, but which the mind has difficulty differentiating between what is real and what our imagination has created. Fortunately there is a profusion of strategies for minimising stress and the effects of worry and anxiety, and my approaches involve building self-esteem up to previous levels, mindful mediation to enable you to take a step back from worrisome thoughts, rather than become subsumed by them, and helping you reorient locus of control so you are more in control of yourself, rather than delegating responsibility to external influences.
In the hustle of everyday life, stress can take a toll on your well-being. I'm here to help you regain balance and navigate life's challenges with resilience. Together, we'll explore personalized strategies to identify stressors, build coping mechanisms, and foster a mindset that promotes a healthier lifestyle. Whether you're juggling work pressures, personal responsibilities, or facing major life transitions, our collaborative journey is tailored to empower you.
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for stress/ burnout, and for clients who feel overwhelmed with life events and long-term stresses or anxiety. Many clients are actually experiencing mild depression. CBT is the recommended psychological therapy for general anxiety, depression, panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety/ social phobia, and Generalised Anxiety Disorder*. I can also provide CBT for traumas and PTSD. During my professional qualification I chose to specialise in panic attacks and agoraphobia for my research and dissertation. *GAD also known as chronic neurosis is excessive and persistent worrying about several areas of your life, worry that is out of proportion with the situation and interfering with day-to-day life, a feeling of not being able to control worrying, and difficulties around overthinking and planning for potential problems that have not occurred.
