Are you ready to feel calmer and more confident?

What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal human response to stress - it can be linked to:
● Life changing events such as relationship break-ups, a new school, bereavement, exams, starting Uni or moving house.
● Thought patterns and beliefs such as over-thinking, perfectionism or negative self-talk, such as: “I’m not good enough, Nobody likes me.”
● Biological and lifestyle factors such as medical conditions, medication, lack of sleep, excess caffeine, sugar or alcohol, hormonal changes and family history.
Do you feel like this?
When anxiety starts to weigh heavy, we feel overwhelmed and unable to cope. We feel stuck in a negative cycle which prevents us from getting the most out of life. Because we're in a fog, we struggle to see a clear way out.
● Do you find yourself overthinking every decision, replaying conversations, or fearing the worst?
● Does your child cling to you, avoid school, worry about things that seem small to others or have big emotions once they get home that school just don't see?
● Have you noticed how anxiety creeps into your sleep, mood and your body?
When we feel in the grip of anxiety, we wonder what’s wrong with us, we beat ourselves up, compare ourselves with others and convince ourselves that we're the only ones feeling like this and everyone else has got life 'sorted.'
Recognising these anxious thoughts, feelings and behaviours as early as possible is so beneficial because:
* It prevents anxiety from becoming a deeper rooted issue.
* It improves emotional well-being and our quality of life.
* It reduces stress on ourselves, our families and friends.
What if anxiety isn't who you truly are - but a signal that something in your life is asking for some gentle attention, care and support?

Anxiety Reset for Young People & Adults
Are you ready to look forward to life, dial down worries about what might happen, what people might think of you and let go of doubting your ability to cope? Have you always been a 'people pleaser' and are now feeling taken advantage of and burnt out with everything you do for everyone else?
This course will help you recognise repetitive patterns in your life, set healthy boundaries to protect your inner peace (and stop you from being used as a doormat) and quieten the inner critical voice (that won't seem to shut up) so that you can reconnect with your inner guidance and intuition.
Build your inner self confidence and get what you deserve out of life.
Parent Led CBT for Parents of
Anxious Children
As a worried parent of
a 6 -12year old, would you like to gain a deeper understanding of what’s causing your child's worry, fear and emotional outbursts? Are you ready to feel empowered, know exactly what to do and say for the best and feel confident from now on that you absolutely CAN help them now and in the future?
This programme looks at how subtle changes can lead to positive changes not only for your child but the other children in the family can benefit too.
Nip this in the bud and build a toolkit of practical coping strategies to last a lifetime.
Life after Loss
Grief is a natural response to loss and we all experience it at some time in our lives. Loss does not only refer to bereavement, it can also include the end of a relationship, retirement, empty nest syndrome, a house move or a change in a friendship dynamic.
Has one of life's waves shaken you up and knocked you sideways? Have you been in free-fall not knowing which way is up?
This course helps you feel steadier and more able to cope with daily life.
Feel supported and safe as you gain confidence and strength to live your life.
Rebuild & Rise
Rebuilding your life after any relationship break up can be challenging. If the relationship has been an unhealthy one and there is a lot of upset in the separation and possibly children involved, it can be a very unsettling and uncertain time in your life. It takes time to process what you’ve lived through, settle your emotions and rebuild your self confidence.
This programme combines practical, trauma-informed techniques, my own personal lived experience along with compassion and empathy to support your emotional recovery and personal empowerment.
Are you ready to let go of the past, release regret, rebuild your life, rise from this experience and look forward to a life without limits?
The good news is that you don't have to face anxiety alone. You don't have to 'battle against it' or 'just get on with it.' Understanding anxiety is the first step to moving through it - and you can do that with guidance and support. Let's talk about how I can help you or your child take the first steps towards feeling better. Your journey back to the life you deserve starts here...
