Anxiety

Reclaiming Calm, Connection, and Choice

Anxiety can feel like a constant hum beneath the surface—or a tidal wave that knocks you off your feet. Whether it shows up as racing thoughts, tightness in the chest, or a sense of dread you can’t quite name, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

In therapy, we explore anxiety not as a flaw to fix, but as a signal—something that deserves curiosity, compassion, and care.

A Gentle, Integrative Approach

I work with anxiety using a blend of talking therapy and body-based techniques, tailored to your unique experience. Together, we’ll explore:

• What anxiety is trying to protect you from
• How it lives in your body and nervous system
• Ways to soothe, regulate, and reconnect with safety
• The stories, beliefs, and patterns that may be fuelling it

My approach draws from:

• 🧠 Existential and psychodynamic therapy – to understand deeper roots and relational dynamics
• 💬 Person-centred therapy – to honour your voice and pace
• 🧘 Somatic practices – to gently reconnect with your body’s wisdom
• 🎯 Brainspotting and Rewind – to process trauma and reduce overwhelm

Who This Is For

You might be:

• Living with chronic worry, panic, or social anxiety
• Feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking or self-criticism
• Navigating trauma, identity, or life transitions
• Struggling to feel safe in your body or relationships
• Seeking a therapist who understands the nuances of queer experience and marginalisation

I welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds, with a particular focus on LGBTQIA+ folks, women, and non-binary people.

What Therapy Offers

In our work together, you can expect:

• A space where your experience is validated, not pathologised
• Tools to regulate your nervous system and build inner safety
• Support in untangling shame, fear, and inherited narratives
• A collaborative process that centres your agency and resilience

Therapy isn’t about “getting rid” of anxiety—it’s about changing your relationship with it, so it no longer runs the show.
