Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with your daily life, feel debilitating, and lead to low mood. I understand how anxiety feels and how it can affect your wellbeing, relationships, and overall quality of life.
I offer professional anxiety counselling in Plymouth and Tavistock, as well as online and by telephone for clients across the UK and internationally. Whether you prefer to meet in person or access therapy from home or office, you can be assured of a safe, compassionate space. Together we can help you understand and manage your anxiety so it no longer dominates your life.
Understanding anxiety
Anxiety can show up in many ways — excessive worry, racing thoughts, restlessness, difficulty concentrating or physical sensations such as rapid heartbeat, muscle tension or shortness of breath. It may stem from a variety of causes including past trauma, chronic stress, lifestyle factors or underlying mental health conditions. Whether you are experiencing generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, or just simply feel worry and fear are dominating your life, I can help you explore and understand your emotions and experiences.
How anxiety counselling can help
It can be difficult for others to understand the impact of anxiety unless they’ve experienced it themselves. In our sessions, I can help you explore what’s driving your anxiety, why you feel the way you do, and how to manage these feelings more effectively. By understanding your thoughts and behaviours, we can identify patterns that keep anxiety going, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build healthier coping strategies. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.
A personalised approach to anxiety counselling
My counselling approach is tailored to your individual needs. Many clients come to me having been told Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the best or only approach for anxiety. While CBT can be very effective, I believe that no single method works for everyone. That’s why I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches — including CBT — to create a flexible, you-centred way of working. This ensures you receive counselling that fits your personality, preferences, and circumstances, making your sessions as comfortable and effective as possible.
Online, telephone, and in-person counselling options
You can choose the format that best suits you — online video counselling, telephone counselling, or in-person sessions in Plymouth or Tavistock.
Online and telephone sessions mean you can access therapy from anywhere in the UK or internationally, offering flexibility and confidentiality from your own home, workspace or when you are travelling.
If you prefer to meet face-to-face, my practice locations in Plymouth and Tavistock provide welcoming, private spaces where you can feel at ease.
Wherever you are, the focus is on helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered to manage anxiety more effectively.
