Anxiety
Anxiety can take many forms, ranging from constant worry, overthinking, panic, or a lingering sense that something is “not quite right.” It often feels like you're always on edge, waiting for something to go wrong. I offer a calm, grounding space where we can explore the roots of your anxiety and develop ways to manage it with more clarity and self-compassion.
Chronic overwhelm
Many people who experience chronic overwhelm have learnt to be constantly alert, responsible and attuned to the needs of others in order to feel safe, valued and in control. As unconscious processes become conscious, there is greater freedom to respond differently rather than remaining stuck in automatic cycles of hyper-vigilance, perfectionism, people pleasing and a sense of never being “enough”.
Relationship challenges
From a psychodynamic perspective, relationship struggles are often shaped by early relational experiences that continue to influence how you connect with others today. When anxiety and chronic overwhelm are also present, these patterns may show up as overthinking, fear of rejection, difficulty expressing needs, or feeling emotionally responsible for those around you. With insight and support, it becomes possible to relate with greater ease, clearer boundaries, and less emotional exhaustion.

My background as an executive and career coach gives me a deep understanding of intricate workplace relationships and organisational challenges, allowing me to guide clients through professional challenges with both strategic insight and emotional support. Whether it’s pressure, perfectionism, conflict, or feeling stuck in a role that no longer fits, work can be a major source of stress.

Life changes can disrupt the coping strategies we’ve relied on for years, making them feel outdated or insufficient when faced with new challenges. These transitions often force us to confront patterns or behaviors that no longer serve us, leaving us feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In therapy, we explore how these shifts are impacting you and work together to develop healthier ways of responding, helping you adapt to the changes and find more effective ways of managing the stress and uncertainty they bring.
