Anxiety Counselling

Anxiety Counselling in Brighton & Hove

Help from a therapist who understands it first-hand. I know what it's like to live with anxiety, the constant tension, the self‑doubt, the urge to escape difficult feelings, and the toll it takes on relationships, work and self‑esteem.

Stillness and calm

Following my own recovery and professional learning, I now help others move from feeling trapped by anxiety to living confident, emotionally balanced lives.

I take a solution‑focused, practical approach that works on the problems actually affecting your day‑to‑day functioning. Together we'll cover simple, deliberate exercises that help calm your nervous system and respond differently when anxiety shows up.

This isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you. Our goal is simply to help you reconnect with the person you already are, underneath the fear.

However it shows up

Support for the different ways anxiety manifests

For some it's a constant background hum of worry; for others it takes over the body and thoughts without warning. However it shows up, we'll look at what triggers it, how it keeps you stuck, and what you can do when it takes hold.

Anxiety & panic attacks

Support for racing thoughts, panic episodes, intense worry, chest tightness, breathlessness, and the fear of losing control.

Social & performance anxiety

Help with confidence, self‑consciousness, people‑pleasing, fear of judgement, and avoidance of social situations.

Chronic worry & overthinking

Support for mental overload, catastrophising, decision paralysis, and the feeling that your mind never gets a break.

A sense of steadiness

Your thoughts don't have to run your life

Build awareness and emotional strength

Anxiety is often driven by old habits of thinking and reacting that once kept you safe, but now hold you back. I'll help you notice those patterns and learn to respond differently when anxiety shows up.

Instead of forcing yourself to "be positive," we focus on building awareness and strength. You'll learn to sit with difficult feelings without being overwhelmed, create distance from unhelpful thoughts, and make decisions based on what you want, not what anxiety tells you to avoid.

You can't change the past, but you can change how you relate to it.
