Life Beyond Anxiey
I practise a therapeutic approach with techniques evidenced to improve symptoms of anxiety, related issues, and underlying causes, with long-lasting transformational effects.
Issues that therapy may help with:
• Low mood and overwhelm
• Shame and self-esteem
• Anger and assertiveness
• Inner faith and spirituality
• Sex and relationships
• Drinking / smoking / drug use
• Body image
• Social communication
• Recovery from abuse
• Pain management
• Understanding your personal patterns and traits
• Communication and leadership
• Big life changes
• Ambiguous loss, bereavement and grief
• Healing from emotionally painful experiences
• Growth after adverse events
• Anything that is causing you unwanted stress
Outcomes may include:
• Enhanced pro-active mindset and balanced optimism so you can realistically solve you own problems
• Improved nervous system self-regulation, so you can handle strong emotions and defuse your own triggers
• Behaviour change so you can break habits that are keeping you back from your full potential
• Greater awareness of personal needs and resources, so you can develop short and long term goals and action steps
• Improved mental/spiritual hygeine including better sleep at night and balanced daytime rest and activity
• Calmer mind and less worried thoughts, with the ability to let go
• Courage and resilience in the face of fear and uncertain cirumstances
• Healthier boundaries i.e. the ability to wholeheartedly say "yes" or "no" when you need to
• Increased energy and enthusiasm for life and social activities
• Enhanced self-knowledge which brings trust in your self, your strengths and taking care of your vulnerablities
• Improved self-care and valuing of your feelings as your emotional guidance system, not something to be suppressed, but a source of wisdom
• Ovecoming inhibitions and living the life that you want to live now
• Stronger, safer trauma-informed relationships in famlily/romantic/friends/professional life
• Greater sense of power, purpose, vision and direction on your life path
• Self-awareness to act in ways that feel correct and proper to what you really think and feel; meaning co-operation and leadership abilities
• Skills and tools to nourish your peace of mind
