Anxiety, Stress & Low Mood

Feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed can make even simple daily tasks feel exhausting. You might notice racing thoughts, tension in your body, difficulty switching off, or a sense of being stuck in cycles of worry or sadness.

You may understand some of what is happening logically, but still find yourself reacting in the same ways. Perhaps you're constantly trying to keep everything under control, putting pressure on yourself, or finding it difficult to feel like yourself again.

Therapy can give you space to slow things down and understand what's happening beneath the surface. We can explore your thoughts, emotions, physical responses and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Depending on what feels helpful for you, we might explore practical ways of managing difficult thoughts, grounding and mindfulness, or paying closer attention to what's happening in your body. We can also gently experiment with different ways of responding in everyday life.

There isn't one approach that works for everyone. Sessions are collaborative and shaped around you, your experiences and what you need at that point in your life.

How I Work

In our work together, I like to keep things practical. When we find a strategy that could be helpful, we’ll try it out in your day-to-day life and then reflect on what worked and what could be improved. This way, the tools you use are truly yours—shaped around what supports you best.

In the first session, we’ll talk about what’s on your mind and what you’d like from counselling. There’s no pressure—you set the pace, and it’s completely normal for us both

to feel a little nervous when meeting someone new.

There’s no pre-session work, apart from signing the contract electronically, which I’ll send to you by email.

Before we start, I offer a free Discovery Chat. This is a short conversation so we can talk about your needs and see if working together feels like a good fit.

 

How to Book

I know starting therapy is a big step, both emotionally and financially, and I'm committed to working with you to keep it accessible.

SESSIONS

My sessions can be online or in my therapy room in Taunton.

 

50 min Sessions: £55, either weekly or fortnightly

60 mins Sessions: £60, either weekly or fortnightly

 

I don’t want finances to stop you from getting support and I offer a limited number of concession spaces, so do get in touch if this would help.

​To book a session, please first get in touch for a free Discovery Chat. This gives us a chance to talk about your needs and for me to explain what I offer. If it feels like a good fit, we can then arrange a date and time for your

first session.
