How I can help
Help with anxiety
With Ali Anderson, BACP-accredited counsellor. In person in Skelmorlie or online across the UK and beyond.
Anxiety has a way of taking up more and more room. It might be a constant background hum of worry, a tight chest before you've even got out of bed, a mind that won't stop running through everything that could go wrong. Some people find it hits in waves as panic. Others just find themselves quietly avoiding more and more things.
Whatever shape it takes for you, it's exhausting, and it tends to shrink your life a little at a time.
There's a lot that can be done. Depending on what suits you, we might work through where it comes from and what keeps it going, look at practical ways to settle your body and your thinking, or use clinical hypnotherapy to ease the patterns underneath it. I'm trained in a range of approaches, so we can find the one that fits you rather than the other way round.
If coming to a room feels like too much right now, we can work online. And if walking in feels daunting, Buster, my little therapy dog, is very good at taking the edge off.
