For many of us, our stream of life is interrupted by events that are so stressful and scary that they create lasting change. This can be a single incident such as an assault or accident. Or, it could be recurring incidents that take place in the course of our work. It could also be trauma in our earliest years from our caregivers or in our first relationships. If you feel that something from your past is impacting your current life, trauma and stress focused therapy may be a good fit for you.

Primarily physical ‘automatic’ experiences apparently by-passing our mental capacity to apprehend what is occurring to us, ranging from intense “panic attack” through steady discomfort, however always with a sense of disconnect: “Why's this happening? I've no reason to be so upset” Such states usually stem from high fear stressors in early life that have become unconscious and generalized (via overactive brain areas): steady vulnerability or prone to acute arousal via particular ‘triggers’. Therapy requires many approaches, esp enhancing body-awareness, graduated exposure/resilience building (vs avoidance actions), selfcare/comforting skills, ‘thought hygiene’, working through past traumas.

Stress and anxiety are part of everyday life. Sometimes these emotions can motivate us to finish a project or draw our attention to issues that could be improved. Other times it can be uncomfortable and overwhelming leading to poor performance, isolation, and/or illness. Working on anxiety in psychotherapy can include learning to become more mindful and accepting of anxiety symptoms to reduce suffering. Or perhaps improved organizational skills or assertiveness to say “no” when there is already too much on our plate. Being able to reduce symptoms of anxiety or cope with them more effectively, can allow you to work towards the goals important to you and deepen your connection with others.

As a Somatic (SE) therapist- mental & emotional health follows the state of the nervous system. If it is flowing seamlessly between sympathetic and parasympathetic; arousal and settling, within a “manageable range” there’s a deep, internal sense of well-being, emotional stability, confidence, clear thinking, aliveness, trust in self and others, and mastery. With SE we will focus on: Your experiences... in the body Learn to track, observe, describe what is going on for you Regulate internal arousal states, shift locked patterns into action, increase body awareness. Encourage emotional engagement with attention to: mindfulness, sensations, movements and impulses. Here & Now find YOU!

I support my clients in addressing their anxiety and stress through the development of meaningful self-care strategies to keep them in becoming more self-compassionate. Learning how to engage the parasympathetic nervous system to counter the effects of an overactive sympathetic nervous system is essential in effectively managing stress and anxiety. If you find yourself struggling to view situations with a more compassionate lens, encouraging yourself to engage in behaviours that support your well-being, therapy can be an effective tool to get you the results you want.

In N5Y 5K7 - Nearby to Southwold.

As the world has grown more complex, anxiety has become increasingly common for many. I understand what it is like to feel like anxiety is closing in and taking over. I help clients with developing a greater understanding into where anxiety originates, establishing practices and insights that help individuals to overcome fear and better regulate emotions. It is often the case that at the core of anxiety is an unconscious experience of perceived unsafety or disconnection. I support clients with developing a stronger foundation of inner safety and self-confidence by guiding an understanding of where unresolved life circumstances are contributing to an emergence of fear and worry.

Anxiety and stress is commonly experienced. For many reasons, some of us have very busy and stress-filled lives. However, the cards you hold in the game of life mean very little. It's the way you play the hand that counts. Learning to manage the demands of our lives is a skill and an art. Therapy can help you to develop strategies to deal with anxiety and stress and find more contentment amidst challenges that come your way.

Anxiety and stress are normal, natural, and functional human experiences. At times, for many, anxiety and stress can start to feel overwhelming and all consuming and it may feel as if you're stuck and trapped in these difficult feelings. When we feel anxiety and stress it's our body's natural way of signalling to us that there is something we need to pay attention to and address, and it's our job to pay attention! When life feels overwhelming, it can often be helpful to seek the help of a compassionate and un-biased professional to help you explore what is challenging you, put voice to what is hard to talk about, and together learn strategies and tools to cope more effectively.

Our anxiety is helpful to understand the risks we are experiencing in the world around us, but too much anxiety can leave us feeling drained, exhausted, lost, worried, and stressed. Learning how to manage anxiety, not disown it, is a critical part of feeling good about ourselves. Catch anxiety when it's really low, understand what it needs from you, and respond proactively. Yes! It can be done.

Registered Psychotherapist

In N6A 1A7 - Nearby to Southwold.

We are told that anxiety and stress are normal parts of everyday life that cause "ups and downs." However, when it becomes too much to handle or when it feels as though it is taking over our lives, it is time to take a step back and evaluate where we require some extra support. I address the management of anxiety and stress through a psychoeducational lens and help clients to understand their triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve their ability to get through stressful times. Together, we can regain control over our anxiety and stress, rather than it controlling us!

Dealing with anxiety is difficult as it is the body's natural response to a perceived threat and that response, is unique to each individual and can often present itself as a sense of discomfort, emotional reactions, physical sensations, and unhelpful behavioural patterns. Your anxiety can be triggered through situational or environmental events and can often feel chronic. Schedule a free consultation to me to see if I am the right fit to help you manage your anxiety.

Anxiety can be a productive and useful tool in helping us understand and interpret our environment. However, when anxiety is chronic, it can take a significant toll on both physical and mental health, ultimately effecting all facets of our lives. I like to examine the causes of anxiety and understand what anxiety is attempting to communicate and protect one from. In doing so, I hope to reframe anxiety, foster acceptance and welcome healing and change. I am also a strong believer in self-care and giving oneself permission to rest, which is imperative in stress and anxiety management.

I love working with people who wrestle with anxiety and stress, I love it because of the difference I witness in the lives and experiences of my clients. Employing a blend of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and neuroscience (polyvagal) techniques, the felt experience of anxiety can be managed in an entirely new way for you, and can lead to profound change in your life. I can not make it so that you never feel anxious again, but we can work to help you learn what to do when you experience the familiar sensations of anxiety, so that it doesn't take over your thoughts, body and life.

We live in a time of great change. How can one be calm while dealing with both global stress plus impacts from a personal history? Fear, anxiety and strain are understandable. What can therapy do to help? First, talking to a supportive therapist provides a safe place, a gentle setting to learn new skills for coping with what stresses you. Like learning a new muscle skill, therapy provides a place for developing peace of mind. It’s similar to meditation, yoga, contemplation or other such internal skills. You can then find new attitudes for living so fear, worry and stress can be dialed down, perceived more as teachers. Rather than unending anxieties you can find opportunities for new growth.

I believe that if you change your thoughts you change your world. The past does not have to rule your mind.
