Anxiety, Stress & Overwhelm Counselling
When your mind will not switch off, and life starts to feel like too much.
You may spend a lot of time thinking, worrying or anticipating what might go wrong. Perhaps you are constantly busy, carrying too much responsibility or finding it difficult to switch off. You may feel overwhelmed, exhausted or like you are running on empty, even though you continue to keep everything going.
Sometimes anxiety shows up as overthinking and uncertainty. Sometimes stress builds gradually until you no longer have the same energy, patience or capacity as before. And sometimes you simply have a sense that you are coping, but not really feeling okay.
Therapy can provide space to slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface and explore the patterns, expectations and pressures that may be keeping you stuck.

- Anxiety or persistent worry

- Stress and pressure
- Feeling overwhelmed or mentally overloaded

How I can help
Together, we can explore not only how you are feeling, but what might be contributing to it. We might look at relationships, expectations, work and family pressures, your ways of coping, and the patterns that have developed over time.
My aim is not simply to help you become better at managing an unmanageable load. It's to help you understand what you need, what may need to change, and how you can move towards a way of living that feels more sustainable.
My approach is Humanistic Integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment-informed, Gestalt, CBT and Jungian techniques. I work collaboratively with you to understand your experiences, relationships, patterns and needs.
Online and in-person sessions
I offer in-person counselling in Highbury & Islington, North London, and online sessions via Teams across the UK. Whether you prefer face-to-face or online therapy, we can find an approach that works for you.
