HOW I CAN HELP

“What you resist, persists.”

– Carl Jung –

Online-women-therapy-anxious-hypervigiliant-busy

Anxiety, overwhelm, people pleasing, withdrawal affects all areas of your life…

Whether you always need to be busy, one the go and can’t switch off even on that supposed relaxing spa day with your pals or date night with your hubby.

Or it’s your home life, where you feel yourself shutdown, spaced out and disconnected as soon as you and your partner have a disagreement.

Maybe you smile, say ‘yes’ to that extra work project, organising your sister’s birthday and volunteering for that charity marathon; ignoring your own wants and needs. Then are riddled with frustration and resentment, snapping at anyone who crosses your path.

Sometimes all you want to do is book a one way flight and escape it all but instead you mindlessly scroll online, lie awake and night and crash at the weekends. .

Client Feedback

"I began sessions with Angela 6 months ago to work on my inability to sit still and need to be busy. Working with Angela has been one of the best decisions I have made. Before starting therapy, my mind was always racing and I couldn't relax even around my partner and family. I was so focused on 'doing', I completely neglected 'being'. Through working with Angela, I've developed an inner calm, a steadiness and recognition my worth is not tied to how 'productive' or busy I am. The physical and emotional weight has lifted. I can actually be present to what my loved ones say, enjoy 'simple pleasures' like weekly family outings and savour my food instead of wolfing it down! I feel a positive change in every area of my life and I feel more content, calmer and confident. I am so thankful for her support and warmth"

Client struggling with always being on go and unable to relax
I first came to therapy to access some support for my anger. I was hoping to feel more in control and feel less overwhelmed and ready to explode. I have found sessions extremely helpful. I feel very grateful to have found a non judgemental gentle therapist where I have looked at what's behind the anger and develop practical tools for my day to day life. Angela has been so kind, patient and warm. Life looks very different now-I can now express my frustration and irritability with kindness and clarity before I reach boiling point. I've learned to listen to my body, thoughts and feelings and act (or not act!) on them. I feel more equipped to sooth myself and I am not overrun with guilt which always happened after I got angry. My relationships have felt easier; both at work and home. I'm no longer shouting at the kids and can set boundaries as opposed to taking things on, feeling resentful and exhausted. Truly life changing
