Working With Me: Anxiety
Don't feel you have to struggle alone with anxiety. Many people need the help of a trained therapist to deal with anxiety because there's often stuff going on beneath our conscious level we're not even aware of. I can support you to untangle your emotions, thoughts and behaviours - a process which is often impossible to do alone.
If you're ready to take that first step, please get in touch for a chat to see if we can work together.

A Mind/Body Approach
The autonomic nervous system is key to our emotional and psychological health. It is responsible for activating a fight, flight or freeze response when we feel unsafe. Some people can become stuck in these states which can cause chronic stress, depression and unhelpful behaviours.
These physical signals and consequent behaviours are below our conscious awareness but are crucial to our wellbeing. As well as using hypnosis to make suggestions to the unconscious mind, I also work with clients to teach them about how understanding and managing their nervous system is key to breaking habitual patterns. I am Polyvagal-informed and give clients practical tools to affect long-lasting change.
