Anxiety Counselling in Milton Keynes & Online
Anxiety can quietly begin to take over your life. That unsettled feeling in your stomach, the constant overthinking and the sense of always being on edge can make even ordinary days feel harder than they need to be. You might find it difficult to switch off, trust your own decisions or enjoy moments that used to come naturally.
Perhaps you replay conversations long after they've happened, worry about saying the wrong thing, struggle to set boundaries or constantly put other people's needs before your own. Maybe you feel emotionally exhausted from trying to hold everything together whilst convincing everyone around you that you're coping.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
I specialise in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, helping them understand not only what they're feeling, but why. Together, we'll explore the deeper patterns that may be keeping anxiety going, so you can begin to break free from cycles of overthinking, self-doubt and emotional overwhelm.
Having experienced anxiety myself, I know how consuming it can feel. I also know that lasting change isn't about simply getting rid of anxious thoughts; it's about building trust in yourself, understanding your nervous system and feeling safer within yourself again.
What I Can Help With
I work with adults experiencing a range of anxiety-related difficulties, including:
- Generalised anxiety and constant worrying
- Fear of anxiety, panic attacks or losing control
- Overthinking and "what if" spirals
- Social anxiety and fear of being judged
- Relationship anxiety and fear of rejection
- People pleasing and difficulty setting healthy boundaries
- Low self-esteem, self-doubt and lack of self-trust
- Reassurance seeking and constantly second-guessing yourself
- Emotional overwhelm and burnout
- Avoiding people, places or situations because of anxiety
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or unable to enjoy life fully
How I Work
I offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out.
My approach is integrative and person-centred, meaning therapy is tailored to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. I work collaboratively, helping you feel understood whilst gently supporting you to make meaningful and lasting change.
Together we may explore:
- The deeper patterns that may be sitting underneath your anxiety, including past experiences, relationships and the ways you've learned to protect yourself.
- Understanding how anxiety works so it begins to feel less frightening and overwhelming.
- Why you may find yourself overthinking, people pleasing, seeking reassurance or struggling to trust yourself.
- Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and feel calmer in everyday life.
- Building healthier boundaries, greater self-compassion and more confidence in yourself.
I believe anxiety is often trying to communicate something important rather than simply being something to 'get rid of'. By understanding those patterns with curiosity and compassion, therapy can help you move beyond simply managing anxiety and towards feeling safer, more connected and more able to live the life you want.
Whether this is your first experience of counselling or you've had therapy before, you'll be met with warmth, honesty and respect throughout the process.
Next Steps
I offer in-person counselling from my quiet, comfortable (air-conditioned in summer and warm in winter) and cosy garden therapy room in Eagle Farm South, Milton Keynes, with free parking available. I also provide online sessions via Zoom for adults aged 18 and over across the UK.
Sessions are £80.
If you're considering counselling, you're welcome to book a free 15-minute introductory call. This gives us the opportunity to briefly chat about what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions you may have and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
If we decide to move forward, we'll arrange an initial consultation where we can explore your experiences in more depth and begin planning how therapy can support you. If you would rather just book in for the initial consultation session that's fine too!
If you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
