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 anxietyWhen 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 anxietyHealth 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 attacksPanic 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
