Many people with trauma histories (including PTSD and CPTSD) and ADHD are misdiagnosed with anxiety but anxiety often goes hand with both. And while anxiety can feel like the end of the world but there are lots of ways in which you can work with it

‘I found the sessions really helpful because they moved me forward and really clarified my thinking. It was really helpful to articulate the negative things I believed about myself, felt quite daring to affirm unconditional love for myself and also very helpful to move from negative thoughts into “tapping” with more positive thoughts and discoveries about myself.’

When we’re in the grip of anxiety, we might feel like we’re about to die

Heart palpitations, dizziness, sweating, nausea, panic attacks and shaking are just some of the symptoms you may be battling on a regular basis. 

Maybe your symptoms aren’t so extreme but you’d like to learn to use your vivid imagination to create a life you love living instead of exhausting yourself with Olympic level catastrophising?

Anxiety is often physically as well as mentally draining. Over time, anxiety can turn into depression as the system burns out due to the constant release of stress hormones. It can sound gloomy and hopeless but you can change things.

80% of the signals between the body and brain go up from the body, via the Vagus nerve, to the brain. It’s much more effective (and easy) to move or breathe ourselves calm than to tell ourselves how we should be feeling.

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients struggling with anxiety over the years as well as having a personal history with Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and benefitting from these practises myself. Between 2013 and 2017, I worked with Anxiety UK as one of their approved therapists. 

All my work is collaborative so the choice about the direction we take and tools you learn is entirely up to you. The fact that you’re even reading this, looking for support and knowing you can improve things is a big step. 

I use a range of tools (click here for more information) depending on what you want support with and the ways of working you’re most drawn to. 

“I felt anxious, quite tearful, stressed. Struggling with anxiety and boundaries in relationships. Thank you so much for all your help and time over the last few months. I am in a much calmer mindset from where I was back in January and a huge part of this has been though our conversations.”
