Avoiding anxiety feels like relief… but it quietly keeps the cycle going.

If you’re ready to understand it and start breaking it (without pushing yourself too far), my membership gives you simple tools, real support, and guidance at your pace 💛

£19.99/month — accessible support when 1:1 therapy isn’t possible

21/04/2026

Affordable, ongoing support for anxiety and low mood… and it’s nearly ready 💚

I’ve been working behind the scenes creating something that gives you support between sessions — or if you can’t access or afford 1:1 therapy right now.

It’s not just information, it’s something you can actually come back to when you need it.

Inside, there’s a full 12-week programme you can follow step by step (or dip into at your own pace), short in-the-moment support videos, and gentle 5-day resets for things like overthinking, social anxiety, and low mood.

There’s also a monthly check-in and Q&A, so this space continues to grow around what you actually need — plus new content added regularly.

I’m just tweaking the final bits now…

It will be £19.99 a month, cancel anytime.

If you’ve been looking for something that feels supportive, flexible, and ongoing — this is for you.

Waking up at 3 or 4am with your mind racing isn’t random…

It’s often when your stress hormone (cortisol) starts rising to wake your body up — and if you’re already overwhelmed, your brain uses that moment to scan for problems.

Add in the silence, the darkness, no distractions… and everything suddenly feels bigger and harder to cope with.

Nothing has actually changed — it just feels more intense at that time.

So instead of trying to solve everything…
remind yourself:

👉 “This is my brain at 3am… not reality in the morning.”

You don’t need to figure it all out right now 💛 If this is you, you’re not alone — I work with this all the time.

“Woman pretends to be blind for 28 years to avoid small talk…”

Extreme? Yes.
But the feeling underneath it?
Not uncommon.

Because when anxiety is high enough…
You don’t just dislike small talk —
You feel exposed, judged, and unsafe in it.

So you avoid.

Not because you’re rude.
Not because you don’t care.
But because your nervous system is trying to protect you.

And avoidance can get… creative.

- Cancelling plans
- Staying quiet in conversations
- Avoiding eye contact
- Letting others speak for you
- Or convincing yourself “this just isn’t me”

But here’s the hard truth 👇
Avoidance works short-term…
and quietly keeps anxiety alive long-term.

You don’t need to force yourself into being “confident” overnight.
But gently understanding why this feels so hard…
That’s where things start to shift.

If small talk feels exhausting, awkward or overwhelming…
you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

🤍 I help people work through this step by step inside my structured anxiety programme.

I actually had to stop and think about this one…
because when I started, I didn’t know if I could do it.

4 years ago I took a leap —
from security into uncertainty
from “safe” into “what if this works?”

And honestly… it’s been one of the hardest and most rewarding things I’ve ever done.

There have been moments of doubt, overwhelm, and “what am I doing?”
…but also moments of real connection, growth, and watching people change their lives.

💛 Sitting with people in their most vulnerable moments
💛 Helping them understand themselves in ways they never have before
💛 Watching anxiety soften, confidence grow, and hope return

That’s the bit that never gets old.

If you’d told me 4 years ago I’d be here now —
running my own practice, creating programmes, building something that actually helps people…
I’m not sure I would have believed you.

But here we are.

And I’m so bloody grateful.

To every client who has trusted me — thank you.
To everyone who has supported, followed, referred, or even just liked a post — thank you.

This is just the beginning ✨

I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on something really important to me 💙

I know not everyone feels ready for therapy…
and I know not everyone can access it as easily as they’d like.

That’s why I’ve created an affordable membership —
a space where you can begin to understand your anxiety and low mood, at your own pace, in your own time.

No pressure. No overwhelm. Just gentle support and guidance when you need it most.

Because everyone deserves access to support that actually helps 🤍

Ever had so many ideas…
but feel completely stuck at the same time?

That’s me right now.

Trying to create content.
Trying to build something meaningful.
Trying to get it right.

And instead…
I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and honestly a bit lost in it all.

Not because I don’t know what I want to say…
but because my brain feels full.
Too many tabs open.
Too many “shoulds.”
Too much pressure to do it well.

And here’s the thing I know (and often tell my clients):

When we’re overwhelmed,
we don’t access clarity — we access survival mode.

So everything feels harder.
Decisions feel bigger.
Even simple things feel like too much.

Including asking for help.

Because even that can feel like another thing to figure out.

So if you’re feeling like this too right now —
stuck, overloaded, not quite knowing where to start…

You’re not failing.
Your nervous system is just overloaded.

And the answer isn’t to push harder.

It’s to slow it down.
Simplify.
Take one small step.

That’s exactly the work I do with my clients —
helping you come out of overwhelm and back into clarity.

This kind of feedback honestly means so much 💙

Being able to support clients through their experiences using approaches like EMDR, and seeing the shift that can happen, is exactly why I do what I do.

It’s not always easy work — but it is powerful, and it is possible.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to do it alone.

“You don’t see reality… you see what your brain is trained to look for.”

Ever noticed how you can focus on one thing… and suddenly it’s ALL you see?

That’s not coincidence.
That’s your brain filtering the world.

👉 Focus on what’s going wrong… you’ll see more of it
👉 Focus on what you’re doing well… that grows too

Your brain isn’t lying…
It’s just following your attention.

So the real question is:
What are you training your mind to notice?
