Overcoming Anxiety & Taking Control of Your Wellbeing
Overcoming Anxiety & Taking Control of Your Wellbeing
Many of us know what it is like to live a life riddled with anxiety and fear... It can be totally overwhelming!
What if I told you there were steps you could try to take to manage it better and regain control?!
Here are some of tried and tested practical tips to help you overcome some of the anxiety you are experiencing:
✨ 1. Practice Deep Breathing: In moments of anxiety, focus on slow, deep breaths. This calms your nervous system and helps ground you in the present.
🌿 2. Stay Active: Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. A daily walk or some light exercise can make a big difference.
💬 3. Talk It Out: Sharing your thoughts with a friend, family member, or counsellor can lighten the load and offer new perspectives.
🧠 4. Challenge Negative Thoughts: Recognise when you're spiralling into negative thinking, and remind yourself that feelings of fear or doubt are often exaggerated or disproportionate to the issue at hand.
🛌 5. Prioritise Rest: Sleep is key for managing anxiety. Make sure you’re getting enough rest to recharge your mind and body.
If anxiety is impacting your daily life, you don’t have to face it alone. My counselling and confidence coaching services in Bristol can help you to understand yourself better, develop tools to manage anxiety, and regain peace of mind. 💙

World Autism Awareness Day
It’s World Autism Awareness Day! As a counsellor and coach, I am driven to support every person who comes to me, and feel particularly motivated to make a positive impact in the lives of my neurodivergent clients. Why? Because throughout my career, I have learned that there just isn’t enough good quality and inclusive support out there for Autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people. Whether it’s down to funding, long waiting lists, or training that is not accessible enough - to me, it doesn't matter - put simply, I don’t think it’s good enough.
How to Build Resilience
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks, challenges, and stress. It’s not about avoiding difficulties, more about developing the tools to thrive through them. It is very normal to need to rebuild resilience after challenging events, or to need to build it as an adult if you did not have the opportunity to develop resilience during childhood and adolescence.
What Is Person Centred Counselling and How Can It Help You?
Person-centred counselling is all about you – your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. It’s based on the belief that every person has the potential for personal growth and healing, given the right support. As a person-centred counsellor, my role is not to tell you what to do or fix you, but to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever’s on your mind.
