Whether you are interested in Therapy with me, Nature therapy, Yoga Psychotherapy, or any of the other practices I provide. I offer a free, no obligation 15-minute consultation via telephone or video, or an extended consultation for a reduced fee. In this consultation we will 1) explore the difficulties you are experiencing, 2) answer any questions you have for me. Therapy is most effective when you find the right therapist for you, this is an opportunity for us both to explore whether working together is the right next step.

You can use my website booking system to book in your introduction call. 

Hi, I'm Anna. Welcome! I am an Anxiety Psychotherapist and Coach, specialising in anxiety, worry, rumination, and anxiety disorders.

I offer compassionate, science-based therapy for anxiety that's grounded in warmth, curiosity and lived experience. I uniquely blending CBT, ACT, and ERP through a Trauma-Informed framework, incorporating Psychodynamic and Somatic Psychotherapy, and Yoga and Mindfulness.

If you are struggling with:

• An overwhelming sense of doom washing over you
• Replaying situations over and over in your mind so it’s difficult to focus on the present moment
• Overwhelming, constant worry about the future
• Unwanted, repetitive or irrational thoughts
• Finding that you are not able to enjoy the things you used to enjoy
• Avoiding situations or people that you think will trigger anxiety
• Never ending self-doubt and comparison to others
• Catching yourself in intense negative thought cycles
• Trouble concentrating and brain fog
• Compulsive behaviour, such as constantly checking things
• Low self-confidence and self-belief
• Difficulty moving into a rested state

These are very normal symptoms of anxiety. You are not weird. You are not crazy. Your brain isn’t broken; anxiety is just really loud.

Together, we can work through this; anxiety recovery can look like this:

• You feel hopeful, maybe for the first time in a long time
• You have a deeper understanding of yourself and your anxiety
• You have self-belief and confidence that you are enough
• Anxiety exists but it bothers you so much less, it’s just not as important as it used to be
• You have far more compassion for yourself
• The worry that is solvable, you work through, the worry you can’t, you let go
• Intrusive thoughts become unimportant; they just don’t carry the weight they used to
• You start enjoying things again
• You can turn up as you are, you may still feel triggered, you may still feel some anxiety, but it doesn’t destabilise you like it used to
• You believe in yourself again, you feel good about yourself
• You can finally rest, genuine rest!

My Therapeutic Approach includes:

Our Foundation

The foundational layer of our time together will focus on humanistic therapeutic approaches to create a sense of warmth, understanding, trust, and safety.

Your context

You are unique, and therapy is ineffective if you are not understood. We look at your background, your current context, internalised expectations, your wiring, your values, belief system and cultural expectations. And, of course, how anxiety is impacting and what you want from therapy.

The Intervention

A tailored approach based on the evidence-based, gold standard therapeutic approaches that I use. This will be framed within a trauma-informed lens and a neuro-affirming model (see below for more details).

The Reinforcement

This is the work. It’s possible that you will feel better, and then worse again - it takes time and needs reinforcement. I'll be with you every step of the way. Eventually it really is possible to bring anxiety down from a full body alarm to something that feels more like background noise.

My ambition is for you to leave feeling like yourself again, able to fully engage in the world, and feel more resilient to future challenges that may come your way.

My practice is/offers:

Trauma-Informed - Some of us face long-term anxiety due to difficult childhood experiences or the burden of past challenges.

Neuro-affirming therapy that adapts to how you're wired - I am particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent clients especially as neurodivergent people are far more likely to experience anxiety.

1:1 Nature Therapy - In its most simple form, nature therapy it is the combination of gentle physical movement with sensory immersion in a natural environment.

1:1 Yoga Psychotherapy - Practicing yoga within therapeutic environments can allow us to better understand ourselves, and our patterns. 

Therapeutic approaches are very important, but the most important thing to know is that I meet you where you are, tailoring my approach and drawing from these therapeutic models to support you. Every client is unique with their own history, personality, and coping mechanisms and therefore therapy should be as unique as you are.

Following your complimentary introductory call, if you would like to work together, we’ll book in an initial assessment session. In this session:

1) I will ask you a number of questions to better understand how anxiety/other difficulties are impacting you and how they developed.

2) We will explore what you want the focus of your therapy to be, what you want to get out of therapy.

3) We will formulate a bespoke plan to decide on why of my therapeutic approaches feel most appropriate for you.

There is no pressure to share everything immediately; we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
