The people I work with tend to be men and women in their 20’s and 30’s whose anxiety, stress, and overthinking impact their work, relationships, and other areas of life.

Maybe you appear calm or ‘fine’ to others, but internally you’re feeling stressed and tired. Maybe anxiety gets in the way of what you want or need to do - this may look like procrastinating, struggling to say ‘no’ or what you really mean, or finding it difficult to make decisions because you worry you won’t do things the ‘right’ way. The thoughts and feelings you are experiencing may feel out of control - you may be overthinking, fearing the worst-case scenario or blaming yourself - and this can be overwhelming to navigate alone. Your usual coping strategies may be to stay busy and just push through without asking for help, but this comes at a cost: you’re likely exhausted.

Everyone is different, but the people I support can often relate to one or more of the following:

• Overthinking: Mentally replaying or analysing things in tiring or unproductive ways
• Self doubt: A lack of confidence that impacts your work and/or relationships
• People-pleasing: Struggling to set boundaries, use your voice, or focus on yourself
• Procrastination: Avoiding things you want or need to do, perhaps for fear of failure
• Indecisiveness: Finding it hard to make decisions in case you “get it wrong”
• Perfectionism: Rarely feeling like “good enough” is actually good enough
• High-functioning anxiety: Appearing accomplished externally but worrying internally

How therapy can help

Our work is to help you better understand and manage your thoughts and feelings so that they feel less overwhelming. Whether your anxiety has been an ongoing issue or has recently intensified, together we can explore what may be happening under the surface. My clients say that working with me has helped them to feel calmer, better equipped to face the challenges in their lives, and more able to approach their relationships with clarity and intentionality. I work with you by drawing from a variety of perspectives (person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT) depending on your personality, needs, and preferences.
