Anxiety, fear & phobia counselling & therapy Kettering

I support people who are dealing with anxiety and often feel overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. In a calm, supportive online space, I’ll help you find ways to manage anxiety, soothe your nervous system, work through fears and phobias, ease stress, and slowly rebuild your confidence. And as those fears and phobias lose their grip, you can begin to feel freer and more in control in your everyday life.

Anxiety, fear, and phobias are natural emotional responses that everyone experiences at some point. However, when these emotions become excessive, persistent, or overwhelming, they can interfere with daily life and your mental health and well being.

I support people living with persistent worry, heightened alertness or strong emotional and physical reactions that feel difficult to understand or regulate. My approach is steady, relational and culturally attuned, offering space to explore what sits beneath overwhelm, make sense of long‑standing patterns and ease the impact of panic, avoidance and overthinking. Together, we work toward clarity, grounding and a more spacious, sustainable way of being, where your inner world feels steadier and more fully your own.

I specialise in working with adults using an attachment-based approach to therapy. I believe anxiety and phobias are not signs of weakness, but protective responses shaped by earlier experiences and relationships. Together we can explore the patterns beneath your anxiety while building practical tools to help you feel more secure, grounded, and in control.

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

Therapy for adults, individuals and couples in Bath, Bristol and Frome, with a focus on strengthening self-confidence and self-esteem, communication, developing healthy and positive habits and behaviours, while addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, burnout, surviving abuse, addictive behaviours, self harm, relationship issues, loss and grief.

If anxiety is stealing your sleep, confidence or sense of calm — please reach out to me. I’m Dionne, a caring therapist helping women manage anxiety, fears and overwhelm. I don’t JUST listen. I offer practical, research-backed tools to help you calm your nervous system, change unhelpful thought patterns, and feel like yourself again. I know how it feels having worked my way through overwhelm myself - so you will find lots of compassion and tips as we talk which uses my background in mindfulness as well as counselling.
