How are you feeling?

It’s tough if you have stuff going on to feel anything but stuck.

When I speak to clients who are stuck, I know that the first thing I need to do is to ‘unstick’ them.

Being stuck usually means that they can’t imagine a future. And they definitely can’t imagine a future that’s happy. I notice this by examining the detail of what they say and what they do.

The sort of behaviour that will keep you stuck is repetitive. Groundhog Day is my way of describing the repetition of the same day, and doing the same thing, over and over. But with the hope that things will get better.

Being stuck is about repeating the same negative thoughts over and over in your brain, but with the hope that you’ll start to feel better.

Sometimes, clients don’t have that hope, so that’s where we start. The start of any change is with hope.

Here are my top 3 ways to be more hopeful:

⭐ Reassess the situation - try and see things through somebody else's eyes
⭐Gratitude- write a list of things you are grateful for
⭐Look to others for help and support

Hope is such an essential part of change and happiness.

Anxiety can play havoc with relationships. It's not unusual to help clients to overcome anxiety and at some point, answer a few questions to help steer a relationship towards calmer waters.

The thing I usually find out first is about attachment styles. It’s important to find out more about the dynamic you create between you.

Attachment styles are patterns of how we think, feel, and act in close relationships. They form early in life based on the way we bond (or don't bond) with our primary caregivers (usually parents).

You may not immediately recognise yourself from the four styles, because you could be unaware of how you behave within a relationship.

Do you recognise yourself in any of the attachment styles?

Do you ever feel like you want to disappear into the hills just to breathe again?

But maybe real freedom isn’t about running away. Maybe it’s about coming back to yourself—one quiet, honest moment at a time.

If anxiety has made life feel too loud, too fast, or just too much, this one’s for you. You’re not broken, and you’re not behind. You’re just tired—and that makes sense.

✨ In this post, I’m sharing what freedom can look like when you’re anxious, how journalling can help, and where to find small steps that actually feel doable.

💬 Tell me: what does freedom look like for you lately?
🎧 And if you need a hand to hold, listen to my Overcoming Anxiety Podcast.

You’re not alone in this.

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.
