Relief from Anxiety
Is anxiety ruining your life? Do you wake in the night unable to get back to sleep because your mind is whirling with worries, or start each day with a pit of butterflies in your tummy? Do you feel that your mind and body never switch off? Maybe the thought of going to work, giving a presentation, or going to a party fills you with dread, your heart racing.
I work with women who want to free themselves from the distress and exhaustion of constant anxiety.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is the body’s alarm system letting us know that something is wrong. Often the things that we respond to in fear are not actually the core problem, but the body’s attempt to keep us away from things we believe to be dangerous, often from experiences we had when we were younger.
Working with anxiety
We begin in a safe and structured way, so you can recognise what triggers your anxiety, how your body responds to that and the meanings that you give it. You can learn how and when to calm yourself so that you don’t escalate into panic or numbness. Once you feel confident that you can manage your anxiety symptoms, you will feel more relaxed and secure. And when you feel safe in your body, if you want to go further, we can work together to get to the core of the experiences that have threatened you, where healing can take place.
