Therapy for Anxiety, Overthinking & Emotional Overwhelm.
Do you ever feel like your mind just won’t switch off?
Is your mind constantly running, replaying conversations, spiralling into what-ifs, jumping from one worry to the next? Does it make it hard to relax, focus, or even be fully present with the people you love?
For many of my clients, their anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like irritability, perfectionism, numbness, and over-preparing for every possible outcome. It might be that even when nothing is wrong, there’s a feeling that something might be, and that’s enough to send your whole system into alert.
I often work with clients who have been feeling this way for a long time, the anxiety, the emotional ups and downs and the second-guessing or overthinking, and nothing has seemed to work up to now.
Maybe you’ve already tried therapy, you’ve been told to challenge your thoughts, replace the negative ones with positive ones, breathe through it or distract yourself.
And maybe it helped in the moment… but the same feelings always seemed to come back.
So now you’re left wondering… “Is there something wrong with me?”, “Maybe I’ll always be like this” or “Maybe I’m just too broken to fix”
I want you to know this…
It’s not that you failed therapy, nor is it that you’re too broken to feel at peace within yourself again.
It’s that the kind of therapy you had didn’t meet you where you truly are.
You don’t need someone to tell you to “think differently.” You need someone who will sit with what you're actually feeling, and help you make sense of it from the inside out. This is what therapy with me can feel like.
Hi! I’m Alex!
Therapist & Recovered Anxious Overthinker.
I’m a UK-based Online Therapist Who Works With Anxious, Emotionally Overloaded Humans.
People often choose to work with me because they feel I truly ‘get them’. Not just as a therapist, but someone who has been there.
I understand what it’s like to live in a body that’s always bracing, a mind that never switches off, someone who feels everything more intensely than it seems you’re “supposed to.”
I don’t work with people who have it ‘all figured out’.
I work with the overthinkers who have been taught to look ‘fine’ on the outside, the ‘sensitive’ ones who were told they were too much, so they learned to shrink or smile instead, the ones who’ve spent years coping, masking, managing… but never really living authentically.
How Therapy With Me Might Feel Different
I won’t tell you to just reframe negative thoughts with positive ones. Nor will we battle your anxiety till it has no other option than to be contained… untill the next time.
Instead, we’ll get curious about what’s really happening inside.
Maybe your mind replays conversations because it’s terrified of saying the wrong thing.
Maybe you prepare for every possible scenario because uncertainty has always felt unsafe.
Maybe your emotions come in intense waves, not because you’re “too much,” but because you were never shown how to feel and process them.
Maybe that inner voice keeps warning you to “watch what you say” or “don’t be weird“, because it learned long ago that being misunderstood or judged hurts.
In our sessions, rather than fighting these parts of you in hope they disappear, we’ll begin to listen to what they’re protecting, maybe it’s the fear of rejection, failure, abandonment, embarrassment or loss.
When we meet those places with compassion instead of pressure, something begins to shift. Coping turns into healing. Anxiety turns into safety. Self-doubt turns into trust and self-confidence.
And life begins to feel less like survival, and more like living from a steadier and connected place inside you.
So… What Could Change?
Imagine…
Waking up without immediately bracing for the day.
Being able to make decisions without spiraling into endless scenarios.
Feeling more present in life and less in your head.
Trusting your emotions instead of fearing them.
Actually enjoying rest, without guilt and mental chatter.
Saying no without rehearsing fifteen explanations in your head.
Being authentic without feeling you have to apologise or diminish who you are
Not a perfect, always calm life, but more ease. More self-trust. More self-connection, and to those around you.
