Thoughts going round and round in your head
Feeling overwhelmed
Needing to retreat from the world
That nauseous feeling building up and threatening to drown you
Foreboding, just waiting for something awful to happen
Not wanting to go out, just in case
Feeling removed, as if you’re outside your body, looking in
Never feeling comfortable or safe
Never feeling good enough
Always feeling like a failure
Waking up at 3am and not being able to go back to sleep
Not being able to turn your brain off to get to sleep
Dragging yourself through the day
Total exhaustion
Upset stomach
Running to the loo
Worrying about not getting to the loo

Are you ready to finally win the battle with anxiety?
I’m an award winning, published psychologist with practices in Wilmslow, Cheshire and Harley Street London. I’m particularly known for my work in beating the toughest, trickiest anxiety problems.
After 25 years of researching and refining the very best ways to stop anxiety in it’s tracks, I decided to take this knowledge into battle. Anxiety is the fastest growing mental health problem and the battle I’m going to win is to push anxiety back. I’ve drawn on all my experience, research and knowledge and put together something that will kick anxiety into touch.
I want to make it as quick and easy as possible so have developed an 8 week course that you can complete in the comfort of your own home. You heard right. No endless, expensive appointments to attend where you talk round in circles. Just all the stuff that actually works, that takes as little as an hour a week, to fit in when you want.
And none of this paying for a download that you have to wade through…….that you don’t read…….and feel ripped off.
I’ll check you’re a good fit for the course first and get a baseline score of where your anxiety’s at. We both need to check this is working for you. I’m in the business of fixing things, not ripping people off. If I’m confident it’ll work for you, ill enrol you and send you the following course materials;
A workbook I’ve written. This workbook is split into short chapters that you read each week and answer the questions.
Videos explaining more about each chapter.
The chance to email me questions and have them answered live online each week. You can also jump on a video call (totally anonymously) and ask me live.
Emergency cards for when you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed and just need help now.
A journal which will help you get what you want, quicker.
It usually takes people about an hour a week for 8 weeks to finish everything and feel soooo much better. You can do the work as quickly or slowly as suits you.
I’ve been testing different versions of the course and think I’ve got it just right. I’ve seen some fantastic results and had some great feedback. Click the more information button and let me help you too.
