Anxiety, fear & phobia counselling & therapy Hayes

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist working with adult individuals in Esher, London Bridge, and Wimbledon, both in person and online.

There is no right or wrong personal issue to bring to therapy, it is not always clear why we feel the way we do, or why we keep repeating patterns of relating to others that leave us feeling anxious, lonely, or confused. My approach is collaborative, I provide a secure space for both of us to work together to explore what is on your mind and how you are feeling.

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.

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.

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.

Relationships, friedships work

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.
