Healing Anxiety & Depression
You’ve lived with anxiety and depression for far longer than you expected. Maybe you’ve tried a few things to manage your anxiety. Maybe you’ve even reached out to a friend or two for help with anxiety, stress or depression. If you haven’t found a way through by yourself, it may be time to consider professional support for your emotions. Anxiety therapy brings relief from the awful feelings that keep you from enjoying your life.
Imagine transforming your anxiety or depression into a powerful force for good… where you feel good, activate good in the world and live the life of your dreams. Over 1000 clients later, I know it’s possible for you too!
Here are a few of the most common situations that my Abundant Possibilities therapy can support you with. If your particular kind of anxiety isn’t mentioned here, you are still welcome to reach out. These are just examples!
Are You Often Paralysed by Anxiety & Worry?
You worry about everything… your children, your relationship (or lack of relationship), your parents, your job, your finances, your health, even what you’re having for dinner tonight! You may also be anxious and panicky about the state of the world, wondering what went wrong and how can we change it? You may have had panic attacks and you often have a knot in your stomach. When you wake up in the morning you may even worry about what will go wrong today. It’s a pattern, and you don’t know how to break it.
I hear you - it’s a lot. And there are clear pathways for healing that can support you to work with what you can change, and to let go of the rest. Sometimes anxiety and depression needs a range of simple, supportive changes. Together we can explore what will work best for you and come up with a solution that offers you freedom from fear.
2. Does Repetitive Thinking Drive You To Drink?
When something goes wrong, do you go over and over what happened in your mind, finding it hard to stop the repetitive thoughts? Do you blame yourself for everything? Have you decided there’s something wrong with you because things always go wrong for you? Do you resent others for not seeing what you have to offer? Are you upset with yourself because you don’t think you are as attractive, clever, funny, capable or interesting as other people? Do you hide from the world to avoid running into situations you know will send you into a spiral of overthinking?
Neural pathways are real. We can either create tracks that take us into abundant possibilities and new opportunities, or we can create tracks that deepen the rut we find ourselves in. Learn ScriptWriting with me so that you can create the neural paths that will offer you your best life and quieten your inner critic forTransformation is always available when we do the work to shift our direction!
3. Do You Fear Intimacy?
Single and worried you’ll never find another partner? Do you always think that no-one finds me attractive or that you are no good at relationships? Do you find a partner only for them to leave you again or do you expect your partner to leave if you have an argument or aren’t quite perfect enough? Do you have an underlying belief that you don’t have what it takes to be loved or that there is no-one that is a good match for you? It’s not true that all the good ones are taken, even if it feels like it when you look around!!
These kinds of beliefs can make us anxious and then we either avoid relationships altogether, or we cling like a limpet to the first possibility that comes along. Neither of these responses are healthy or likely to create the relationship of our dreams. The good news is, a happy healthy relationship is possible for you, especially once you learn to manage these intrusive patterns of worry and anxiety.

4. Are You Anxious About Being Socially Awkward & Insecure?
Do you avoid social events or only go out if you know the people who will be there? Do you notice that you can’t relax and enjoy yourself when you meet new people? Is it excruciating to attend social gatherings because you are always worrying about what people think of you? Do you stay silent or hide in the kitchen at parties because you think you have nothing to say, or you fear people will think you are stupid or boring?
These are all indicators that you will benefit from a little rewiring of your subconscious mind. ‘Not good enough’ thoughts stop us from enjoying life, connecting with people we would love to be friends or lovers with, and going on adventures that we’ll remember forever.
What if you could change your perspective on who you are. What if you could see yourself through the lens of unconditional love. Letting go of false images that we take on from the projections and expectations of people around us allows us to be set free of social anxiety. Let’s explore how you can become confident and full of self love, supporting you to create the social life and friendships you’ve always yearned for. It’s time to live in the now!
5. Are You Often Unhappy & Depressed About The Future?
The future looks black when we see it through a lens of fear, anxiety, unhappiness or depression. If you are depressed and unhappy often, your rose-coloured glasses have been swapped for sunglasses that keep you in the dark! If you are very self-critical or have a voice in your head telling you how unattractive, fat, stupid, boring, unpopular, lonely or unlucky you are, that darkness can be a cloud that never seems to lift, or a hole you can’t find your way out of without help.
Each of us has these ‘dark night of the soul’ experiences. Not everyone talks about them and not everyone has someone they can trust to talk to. These experiences are the gift that invites us to embody more of our power, more of our magic, more of our beautiful humanity. We’re not meant to stay in these spaces forever, but sometimes, through circumstances or situations beyond our control, we can seem to be temporarily stuck, no matter what we do!
The best thing you can do is reach out for help if you are wondering how to cope with depression. Think of it as needing a new prescription for your glasses. As a life coach and psychotherapist who specialises in abundant possibilities, I have a deep toolbox for treating depression that can support you in creating a new life that will work going forward. Even though it may not feel like it now, your future can become brighter.
