About me
Hello, and welcome. I know how much strength it takes to seek help, and I want to commend you for taking this brave step. This is often the hardest part, trying to find someone you connect with.
Common issues I help my clients work through:
- Developing a sense of doom and not feeling like our usual or previous selves.
- Avoiding situations because of a fear of panic.
- Continuous rumination ("overthinking") of unlikely catastrophic scenarios.
- A continuous fixation on the symptoms of anxiety, such as DPDR, heartbeat, air hunger,
dizziness, digestion issues, etc. - Social Anxiety, fear of judgement and rejection.
- Feeling alone and that anxiety is affecting your sense of connection with people.
- Feel numb when talking/thinking about arguably traumatic things in your past?
If this sounds like your experience, please know you've found the right safe place to begin your healing journey. If you are fed up being stuck like this, and looking for a way out, connect with me here and lets get the ball rolling.
As the founder of Brain Botanics Therapy and a seasoned speaker, I'm here to guide you through the labyrinth of anxiety and trauma. Why suffer alone when you can leverage my decade-long experience in both private and NHS sectors, aswell as my own personal recovery from this? With me, your journey to recovery is accelerated. No need for endless therapy sessions for years.
Anxiety or Trauma are not something you need figure out alone. Together, we'll unearth the origins of it, break the cycle swiftly and effectively, and get you back to being in control in your life, confident and liberated.
The uniqueness of your experience and healing journey is something I deeply respect. That's why I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs, using a blend of proven therapeutic techniques for optimal support. My mind-body approach equips you with the tools to conquer life's hurdles and march towards a fulfilling and serene future. You can ask more about this on a consulation with me, on how this would most benefit your unique situation.
So tell me, are you ready to leave this anxiety in the past?
