Anxiety; it is talked about a lot but it is not the same thing for everyone.
You may be having trouble sleeping, you may have noticed your eating habits have changed, you may be drinking more or taking drugs, you may have cut back on socialising. Your thoughts may be getting louder or busier and more intrusive.
Your stomach may be churning more, your heart may feel like it is about to jump out of your chest, you may be finding it difficult to concentrate.
You may be feeling emotions you would rather not be feeling, or you may be so used to feeling them you cannot see an alternative.
What would it be like to understand your anxiety? To quieten those intrusive thoughts, to understand and build a positive relationship with your feelings and reduce the physical response to them? What would it be like to know the root cause of your anxiety? To reduce its power so you can live your life with it rather than be governed by it.
I work with adults who experience anxiety around loss which can include:
Death of a loved one
Death of a pet
Loss of childhood
Loss of a loved one
Loss of an abuser
Loss of a home
Loss of innocence

Loss of a relationship
Loss of self-worth/self-belief/self-esteem

Loss of the life you thought you would have but didn't

By working together, we will develop a relationship that will allow us to safely explore what is going on for you now and how your past relationships and/or experiences may be impacting your present. We will look at reconnecting your mind with your feelings and your physical response to those feelings so you can become a more wholesome you. Your own curiosity of yourself can deepen this process, to allow the growth and change within you and develop the relationship with your anxiety, self and others.
I believe we are all capable of growing and changing, but it can be easier to do with someone impartial by your side. I offer you support, a place where you will be seen for who you are and who you can be, where your voice will be heard without judgement, where you will be accepted with empathy and understood with curiosity.
