Anxiety, fear & phobia counselling & therapy Barnet

I work with people navigating anxiety, over-thinking, fears, phobias, low mood, self-worth, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or the sense of feeling stuck and disconnected. Whatever you're carrying, we’ll explore it gently, together – at your pace, and without judgement.

As an integrative psychotherapist with IFS & CBT training, I help people overcome anxiety by understanding its underlying causes and applying effective approaches to reduce it.

These are some of the approaches I use :
1 Learning techniques to relax at times of stress
2 Challenging negative thinking and replacing it with more healthy attitudes
3 Sharing feelings of anxiety rather than bottling them up
4 Looking at proactive approaches to face fear-provoking issues
5 Resolving past trauma that underlies the anxiety

My role is to get to know you and for you to develop a greater understanding of yourself in a safe, confidential, supportive and jargon-free environment - a space for you to explore what you want to explore, also how you feel, think and act. Working at your own pace, I offer guidance and support so fresh ways of seeing yourself, the options and making choices become available. Alongside the issues you bring to counselling, we may look at where you would like to be in your life and what prevents you getting there, so far.

Anxiety doesn’t have to define your life. If you often feel restless, on edge, or caught up in racing thoughts, you are not alone and I can help. Many people find themselves living with an undercurrent of anxiety, while longing for a way to feel more grounded, more joyful, and more at ease.

I am a registered psychotherapist with experience supporting clients who are facing anxiety and fear. I use a variety of techniques and approaches to work through issues depending on the presenting problem/s, and your personality. I have experienced anxiety in the past myself so understand how challenging it can be. If you'd like to work with a therapist who has both professional and lived experience of anxiety, please get in touch to discuss.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. For some it's when there's a crisis, for others it's to work on themselves, or better understand their relationships with others.

Whatever your reason for reaching out, I'm here to support you, by providing a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
