Anxiety

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”
— Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior

Anxiety is a natural human response, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with daily life. Anxiety may show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, panic, or a sense of being on edge. You might feel unable to relax, switch off, or trust yourself.

For many people, anxiety is closely linked to fears about safety, control, relationships, or performance. Therapy can help you make sense of these experiences and find ways of responding that feel less exhausting and more supportive.

My approach to working with anxiety

I offer psychotherapy for anxiety and stress, drawing on an integrative approach that includes psychodynamic and relational ways of working. Together, we explore not only what triggers anxiety, but also what may be sustaining it emotionally and relationally.

Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, therapy aims to understand the meaning of anxiety in your life — including how it may relate to earlier experiences, patterns of responsibility, or ways of managing uncertainty. Practical strategies may be included where helpful, but always within a broader therapeutic understanding.
