Anxiety & Depression
The worry That won’t switch off.
You’re not alone.
If your mind rarely quietens — if low mood has become your baseline, or worry follows you into every corner of your day — you're not broken. You're human, and you deserve support that meets you where you are. Anxiety and depression are among the most common things people bring to counselling, and some of the most responsive to the right kind of support.
You don’t need to
explain yourself here.
-
Your mind is always one step ahead, anticipating everything that could go wrong
-
You feel flat, unmotivated, or unlike yourself — and you're not sure why
-
You've been feeling this way for a while and you're starting to wonder if it will ever change
-
You cancel plans because the thought of them fills you with dread
-
Sleep is difficult — you can't switch off, or you sleep too much and still feel exhausted
-
You're working hard to keep it together on the outside while struggling quietly on the inside
Understanding your anxiety — then changing your relationship with it.
Anxiety and depression often go hand in hand, and they respond well to a counselling approach that doesn't try to eliminate them but instead helps you relate to them differently. Together, we'll start by simply making sense of what's happening for you — what triggers your anxiety, what keeps low mood in place, and what you've been doing to cope (even if those strategies aren't working as well as you'd like).
Over time, we'll work on building a different relationship with your thoughts and feelings — one where they have less power over what you do and how you live. This might involve gently challenging the stories your mind tells you, developing practical tools for when things feel overwhelming, or simply learning to hold difficult emotions without being consumed by them.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you come. You just have to be willing to show up — and I'll meet you right there.
Mindfulness-based approaches
Developing present-moment awareness so that thoughts and feelings have a little less grip on your day.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helps you step back from anxious or depressive thoughts and take action based on what matters to you, rather than what fear dictates.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Particularly helpful when self-criticism is part of the picture — building a kinder, steadier relationship with yourself.
Sessions that feel genuinely different.
-
A space to exhale
The first sessions are about slowing down and feeling heard — not fixing anything. Many people find that simply having somewhere to put it all brings immediate relief.
-
Making sense of the pattern
As we work together, things that felt chaotic or confusing often start to make more sense. Understanding the pattern is often the first step to changing it.
-
Your pace, always
There's no timeline to follow and no expectation of where you'll be by session three. We work at whatever pace feels right — and you're in the driver's seat throughout.
You don't have to keep carrying this on your own.
The free 15-minute consultation is a no-pressure way to ask questions and see if counselling feels right. You don't need a referral, a diagnosis, or even a clear idea of what you want to say — just reach out.
