Being anxious can really hold people back so I know how important it is to have the right approach to effectively treat anxiety. I use evidence based approaches that will help reduce the symptoms right from the start of our work together. I also know how important it is to have both the skills and tools as well as someone who gets it. With this in mind I aim to provide a safe, warm and engaging space to explore the roots of anxiety so long lasting change can occur.
Anxiety can arise for many reasons including a fear of failure, worry, a lack of confidence, perfectionism, or a strong investment in a particular outcome. With the help of your therapist you can learn to manage your anxious thoughts and feelings. We teach you to change your relationship with anxiety so you have greater autonomy and ease of mind.
The problem isn't having fear - without it we'd be emotionally handicap. The problem is having more fear for a situation than we should have. Fortunately, there are many tools to help with this.
