Welcome!
If you’ve come here it’s probably because you, or someone you care about, is struggling with feelings of anxiety.
We need feelings of stress and anxiety in our lives – it’s part of our internal system that keeps us safe and alive. If you were a caveman being chased by a sabre-toothed tiger you would be very glad for the boost of adrenaline and other chemicals that would give you the energy you needed to run away from it, or fight it off.
The problem comes when this system acts like you are under attack all the time. Your body only has 2 settings in that regard – fight and flight or rest and repair. If you’re constantly ready to make a run for it, your body isn’t able to relax and work as well as it could, which is why dealing with anxiety is both physically and mentally exhausting.
So let me ask you, do you often feel anxious? Stressed? Tired? Have trouble sleeping?
Are you over consuming? Not just food or drink, but TV, Netflix or social media?
Are you Bored? Restless?
Do you get Headaches? Tummy Trouble?
Are you sick of feeling that way?
Are you fed up of dragging all of that around with you?
Are you ready to make a change?
The good news is that you are not broken! You’ve gotten used to living in what is designed to be a temporary state all of the time and it’s worn you out. The great news is you can choose to change that right now.
Why should you trust me to help?
I have been there. I have lived with anxiety on and off since I was a young teenager. Our experiences are going to be different but I can relate to where you are coming from. (You can read more about my experience of anxiety here if you wish.)
I work a little differently. If you have been to counselling or CBT before you’ll be used to talking about your feelings and the causes and events that have triggered them. I tend to work content free – I will help you let go of the emotions that are holding you back without you having to tell me, or even know yourself, where they came from.
I am trained in a number of different techniques, mainly different styles of Coaching, Hypnosis and Reiki and work with you as an individual to find the best way forward for you. Each of us experiences the world differently and that’s why I focus on what you want and need rather than reading scripts or trying to fit you into a set model or program.
When you work with me you will feel more capable, more in control and more able to cope with all the crap that gets thrown at you day to day. I like to think of it as coming back into balance. Whether you’re struggling to keep up with the 100mph you’re going, or failing to get enough speed to get out of 1st gear, I’ll support you while you level it out.
Known side effects of working with me are reductions in feelings of stress and anxiety, improved sleep, increased confidence and happiness, improved performance at work or in studying and more harmonious relationships.
