    Anxiety is a natural psychological and physiological response to perceived stress or danger, characterised by feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease.

    Stress

    Stress is a natural response when we face challenges whether at work, in personal life, or other situations. It triggers physical and emotional reactions, including increased heart rate, tension, and heightened alertness, helping us respond quickly. While some stress can motivate and improve performance, prolonged stress can compromise out wellbeing. Therapy can provide the space to learn tools to manage and reduce stress,

    Trauma

    Trauma refers to an emotional response to a distressing event that overwhelms our ability to cope. It can result from experiences such as accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or violence. Trauma impacts mental, emotional, and physical health, often causing symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and difficulty regulating emotions.

Hi, I’m Ana

I am an experienced psychologist dedicated to helping you navigate lives challenges and become the best version of yourself.

I know that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and navigating these feelings on your own isn’t always easy. 

My approach is warm, engaging and supportive. I am trained in a number of evidence based approaches that I will draw on to provide a bespoke treatment based on your goals.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can work through difficult experiences, build resilience, and find a sense of calm.  

If you are ready to start therapy, I would love to work with you.
