Some people worry that their problems are big enough for counselling. I believe that anything that's upsetting your well being or that feels 'wrong' or different to you, is worth exploring. Before it becomes overwhelming.

What if your mind isn't overthinking, but instead it's protecting you from something? Overthinking is a common problem for many high achievers and people who grew up feeling criticised and needing to get things right.

Anxiety is your mind and body’s way of protecting you. It doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means your body’s alarm system is working particularly hard.

Therapeutic counselling for adults and teenagers experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, bereavement, trauma and relationship difficulties.
