If you’re like many of my clients, you’re tired and frustrated with anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the "good-girl" syndrome.
Despite doing everything right, anxiety often takes control of your life, and you can't seem to shake it off.
I know you just want to get rid of it, I can relate.
Ready to heal from Anxiety?
(Yes! is the answer)
You are not ALONE!
Anxiety is a natural emotional response to stressful, challenging, or dangerous situations.
It’s there to protect you or give you a push when needed, but it should soon fade away.​

However, persistent anxiety is a symptom, not the problem.
The key to overcoming unhealthy anxiety is to look at its root cause, embrace it, accept it, and change your relationship with it.

How I work
Understanding Your Mind with Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
​I follow the principles of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, focusing on analyzing and uncovering the roots of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
​
Exploring Unconscious Thoughts
We will explore your unconscious thoughts, which originate from the family environment and experiences you grew up with. These thoughts influence how you view life and make relational choices.
​
Addressing Specific Issues
We will delve into the specific issues that brought you to seek therapy, aiming to enhance your self-awareness and illuminate the origins of your experiences. My goal is to help you recognize self-destructive patterns so you can break free from them.
​
Gaining Insights and Empowering Change
By gaining insights into these unconscious patterns of behavior, you will be empowered to take control of your life, moving beyond unhelpful tendencies and embracing a more authentic existence.
​
Session Details
Each session is 1 hour 20 minutes long.
-
Fee: £60 - Payable by BACS or card prior to the session.

What to Expect from Therapy
Hey, I get it.
Facing anxiety or depression is tough, and finding the right support is crucial.
That`s why you will find:
Non-judgmental & Compassionate Space:
Imagine talking to someone who's there for you, with no judgment, just compassion. It's like having a safe space to explore and process what you're going through.
Tailored approach:
The approach is like a tailor-made suit for your emotions, adapting to your circumstances and experiences. No one-size-fits-all here. This personalized touch makes the therapeutic process more effective, as it's designed just for you.
Evidence & Experience Based:
Think about support that’s not just warm and fuzzy but also backed by evidence and experience. The methods used are tested and proven effective, providing a reliable guide on this journey—one that understands and responds to your unique needs. This approach dives into the root causes of trauma and issues, ensuring comprehensive healing.
