Whether you have been experiencing anxiety for some time, or have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder such as generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, (complex) post-traumatic stress disorder, phobia, or panic disorder, the anxiety treatment I provide is effective and relatively fast-working.
The anxiety treatment I help clients with is my tried and tested system, and it works every time.
My anxiety coaching is science-based, solution-focused, compassionate, non-judgmental and uplifting.
Anxiety is your brain’s way of alerting you to a threat to your mental or physical well-being or survival, whether a definite threat or a potential threat, and whether that threat is:
- real or imagined,
- major or minor.
When the brain experiences what it perceives as a threat, it initiates the fight-or-flight response to help us stay alive. This is why you will experience anxiety in the form of psychological and/or physical symptoms such as:
Typical Psychological Symptoms of Anxiety:
- Feeling tense, nervous, uneasy or unable to relax
- A sense of dread – impending doom
- Feeling ‘on edge’

- Feeling like the world is speeding up or slowing down
- Feeling like you can’t stop worrying
- Feeling that bad things will happen if you stop worrying
- Worrying about anxiety itself and that it might occur
- Feeling the need for lots of reassurance from others
- Worrying a lot about how others feel towards you
- Worrying that you’re losing touch with reality
- Thinking obsessively about a bad experience or about a situation
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or from the world
- Worrying a lot about the future
- Feeling panicky

I’ve helped clients with very severe anxiety, including those who have been suffering with it for decades. For example, some had been hiding in just one room in their home because they had become so incapacitated by it before they came for anxiety coaching.
Some clients come purely for anxiety help, others come to resolve more than one issue in their life.
Feel calm again
You want to get your life back to ‘normal’, to how it was before the anxiety started taking over your life.
Perhaps you’ve sought help from a doctor who has referred you for some form of counselling, or has prescribed medication for your anxiety symptoms.
Or perhaps you’ve attempted self-help anxiety treatment methods.
Or have a child (16 or over) who needs help.
The anxiety treatment I provide is simple to implement. It’s empowering as it helps you to understand what anxiety is and what it isn’t, why certain approaches don’t work, and how you can resolve your anxiety or anxiety disorder.
You’re not meant to live with indefinite anxiety any more than you’re meant to live with a bleeding arm.
I help the vast majority of anxiety coaching clients in just 2-3 coaching sessions. Some are on anti-anxiety drugs (anxiolytic medication) when they first come for coaching.
I tend to see clients Tuesdays to Fridays, 10am to 7pm (UK time) to accommodate most time zones.
Before you start I will provide you with a questionnaire so that you can give me a brief overview about your personal experience of anxiety and what you want to achieve through coaching, plus specific instructions on how to get the most out of each coaching session and the coaching journey.
You’ll set the agenda for your sessions. To help you quickly, I will use a combination of skillful questioning, sharing expert insights into your unique situation, using my intuition, and providing you with simple and effective tasks/strategies that you’re happy to use to resolve your specific anxiety completely.
I will also share natural, enjoyable methods for soothing your anxiety symptoms, as and when they appear, whilst you’re on your journey to becoming anxiety free.
