Working together on Anxiousness

After 15 years in practice, I'm excited to share my integrated approach to understanding anxiety in an informal and friendly online setting. This workshop explores anxiety's nature, purpose, personal impact, and effective ways to navigate through it.

Unlike traditional CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) focused programs, I offer a perspective that begins with education about what's actually happening in your mind and body. I will also help you understand the external factors (our relationships and wider social contexts) that may intensify the feelings of anxiety, including the internal patterns that shape your responses. We will also consider a little bit about how your history could be playing a part in how you feel now.

Throughout our sessions, we'll work respectfully in the present moment, emphasising your personal agency and strengths—combining the best insights from multiple therapeutic traditions to create a supportive path forward.

My Experience

Just because I am a therapist, I am not immune to the emotional challenges people face. What helps me navigate these is self-awareness and understanding the bigger picture of mental and emotional wellbeing. I want to share these insights with you.

My most powerful training in anxiety was going through a time of experiencing it myself. I recall GP appointments and referrals to specialists to determine what was wrong and why I had the physical symptoms I did, only to have one specialist mention stress; I actually said, “I can’t be stressed, I am training to be a therapist!”

This was the lightbulb moment for me as I heard myself out loud. This was a few years ago now. I do not believe we cure ourselves from being anxious but we can learn to take the power out of it and work with it. Ironically, when we no longer fear something, it slowly dissipates.

My courses explore the 'why' behind our experiences, the 'how' of making changes, and the 'when' of applying new understanding. We'll unpack what's happening and move toward fuller, more satisfying lives. We will also briefly visit the origins of some of your behaviours and emotions by looking at intergenerational patterns, so that we can begin to break cycles if they are unhelpful.

My Approach

With 9 years of core training, ongoing research, and hands on experience, I offer a cost effective, friendly approach to wellbeing. I adapt specific methods for each group, making every course feel personal and relevant.

Since the quality of our relationships impact the quality of our lives, its important to factor this in when trying to make sense of our struggles. I'll offer you fresh ways to think about your life, relationships, and wellbeing—and practical tools to make changes, when you are ready
