Addressing anxiety and fears involves a comprehensive approach encompassing the mind and body, unravelling behaviours and coping strategies and looking deep within so that we’re not just managing the symptoms we’re discovering and addressing the root cause. I do this by utilising a ‘bottom-up’ somatic approach to therapy which means there is an integration of the cognitive (mind) with emotions and sensations within the body (somatic). This awareness (beyond the spiralling, often confusion of the mind) gives access to a world of information to help resolve trauma, anxiety, addiction, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, impulsivity, emotion regulation and an inability to relax and be present.
Psychologist, Masters in Clinical Psychology, Ph.D.
We have psychologists skilled in treating panic attacks, social anxiety, worry and health anxiety. We 'get' anxiety and we can help you. Depending on the results of our assessment, we will use cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and/or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-bawed approaches to treat most anxiety conditions. Therapy can be tough at times but we have developed some ways to make the process of treating anxiety easier to engage with.

Working with anxiety and fears is all about building relationships internally with the parts of self that are anxious or fearful. As we settle the intensity of the anxieties and fears, we open to a world of possibility. It can be scary, but our biggest fears often hold the keys to our greatest gifts. We will explore your experience in a way that is body focussed, and 'inside-out' meaning that what is most vital is connecting with your deepest self-expression. From there, we access what is deeply true for you and we can then work to address the patterns, beliefs, addictions and stressors that get in the way of you being your most beautiful, soulful self.
Anxiety is experienced by everyone at some level, but there are effective strategies to manage it and prevent it from controlling our lives. Unconscious fears are also common and once identified, they can be addressed.

Work together to understand underlying fears, validate and sit with those fears and together find ways to not let the fear get in the way of living a meaningful life.
As a therapist, I specialise in unpacking the thoughts behind anxiety and fears, delving into potential trauma and developing tailored strategies to cope and empower. Together, we navigate these challenges with compassion and resilience, fostering growth and reclaiming control over one's emotional well-being.
