I work with clients to change the way that they view anxiety and to look at how they can co-exist with healthy anxiety that can keep them safe, whilst remaining grounded in feeling that they are in control, if they suffer anxiety symptoms in the future.

My work with clients also involves working on cognitive distortions and cognitive fusions, thoughts that are central to fuelling anxiety and fears and which more than likely, have come from client experiences of trauma in their lives.

Furthermore, I work with clients to help them find out where phobias, panic attacks and ruminations (in conditions such as Obsessive Complusive Disorders), may have developed from. In other words, what social and personal experiences they endured that are more than likely to have made them vulnerable to these conditions.

Putting into practice such retrospective reflection work, also helps many people to develop a greater sense of self-compassion for themselves as they get to experience what they have been through and to realise how much their mind and body have done to try and protect and defend them against life’s turbulences.

Lastly, body work that can reduce the somatic sensations of anxiety, as well as tackling the cognitive distortions and fusions, (at a higher level), ensures that clients have a ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’ approach in working through their anxiety - whether that be agoraphobia and social anxiety, OCD ruminations, catastrophic thinking, phobias or panic attacks.
