Anxiety Therapy in London

When your mind won't switch off

Anxiety doesn't always look like panic.

Sometimes it looks like overthinking, perfectionism, constantly anticipating what might go wrong or feeling responsible for everything and everyone around you.

​

You may appear to be coping while internally feeling overwhelmed.

​

You might find yourself:

• constantly thinking about what could go wrong

• struggling to switch off

• replaying conversations or decisions

• putting enormous pressure on yourself

• worrying about what other people think

• finding it difficult to relax

• feeling restless or on edge

• struggling to sleep because your mind is busy

• feeling that you should be coping better

For high-achieving people in particular, anxiety can sometimes become intertwined with achievement. Staying busy, being productive and maintaining high standards can provide a sense of control, while making it difficult to recognise how overwhelmed you have become.

How therapy can help

Therapy gives you the opportunity to slow things down and understand what may be underneath your anxiety.

Together, we can explore where anxious thoughts and patterns come from, how they affect your everyday life and what might help you respond to them differently.

There is no expectation that you simply need to "think positively" or stop worrying.

Instead, we can work together to understand your experience with curiosity and compassion.

Online and in-person anxiety counselling

I offer anxiety counselling in person in SE18, South East London, as well as online therapy.

If anxiety is beginning to affect your relationships, work, sleep, confidence or enjoyment of life, you don't have to work through it alone.
