Anxiety & panic

Anxiety is the brain's alarm system misfiring. I work with generalised worry, health anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks, using practical tools that calm the nervous system and help you reclaim the parts of life avoidance has narrowed.

  • General anxiety

    Persistent worry, restlessness or tension that interferes with daily life.

    Help me with General anxiety

    When worry runs in the background most of the day, sleep, focus and decision-making all start to wear down. Together we'll understand what the worry is trying to protect, and build ways to step out of the loop without forcing it.

    • Identify the worry patterns keeping the cycle alive
    • Build practical strategies for sleep, focus and decision-making
    • Develop a calmer baseline rather than chasing relief in the moment
  • Health anxiety

    Persistent fears about serious illness despite reassurance from clinicians.

    Help me with Health anxiety

    Health anxiety can quietly take over, with hours lost to symptom-checking, scans and reassurance-seeking. I focus on helping you step out of the certainty trap and rebuild trust in your body, without dismissing how real the fear feels.

    • Reduce reassurance-seeking and symptom-checking cycles
    • Learn to tolerate uncertainty rather than chase it away
    • Rebuild a workable relationship with your body
  • Panic attacks

    Sudden surges of fear with racing heart, dizziness and breathlessness.

    Help me with Panic attacks

    Panic attacks are intensely physical and often arrive without warning, and the fear of having another one can quickly become its own problem. We'll work on understanding what your body is doing, reducing the alarm response and rebuilding confidence in the situations panic has started to limit.

    • Demystify what is happening in the body during a panic attack
    • Reduce avoidance of trains, drives, crowds or being far from home
    • Lower the background fear of "the next one" over time
  • Social anxiety

    Self-consciousness, dread and avoidance in social or performance situations.

    Help me with Social anxiety

    Social anxiety often hides behind looking fine on the outside while running constant self-monitoring on the inside. Our work targets the inner critic and the post-event replay, and gently widens the situations you can move through with less rehearsal.

    • Address the self-monitoring loop and post-event rumination
    • Practical work on speaking up, dating, performance and group settings
    • Build a more grounded sense of self that holds up under attention
