Relationship Anxiety & Relationship Issues Therapy For Women in the UK
About Me
Relationship anxiety and relationship issues can be overwhelming and draining. Worrying about what you said, fearing rejection, or feeling like you don’t measure up can erode your confidence and leave you feeling alone. Trust feels fragile, and when people pull away, it shakes your sense of safety and leaves you uncertain.
I support women aged 18 and over across the UK who are struggling with relationship anxiety, relationship issues, and other mental health difficulties; anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem. These struggles can often lead to overthinking, emotional exhaustion and difficulty relaxing around others. Over time such patterns can affect how you connect with people, how you perform at work, and how you see yourself, leaving you feeling anxious, disconnected, or stuck in cycles that are hard to break. In our sessions, we will explore whatever is on your mind at your own pace, whether you are looking to make small adjustments or work through deeper, more complex challenges. You do not need to have everything figured out, and there is no rush or pressure to follow a set path; therapy is about your unique journey.
​
​We can explore how past experiences may influence your present emotions, thoughts, and relationships, while also working on what is happening right now. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of anything that may be holding you back, and empowering you to make meaningful and lasting changes in your life. Outside the therapy room, there may be people offering advice or opinions, but here with me, this is your space to sit with your emotions and determine what truly feels right for you.

Counselling for Relationship Anxiety
Relationship anxiety can manifest as fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, or constant overthinking about your relationship. It can also affect self-esteem and lead to insecurity. It’s important to understand that these feelings are common, and therapy can help address the root causes. Constant worry, self-doubt, and the fear of rejection can leave you feeling disconnected from the people around you. If you find yourself asking, “Do they care about me?” or “Am I enough?” you’re not alone, these are common signs that anxiety is affecting your peace of mind and your connections. Anxiety in relationships can make it hard to feel secure, leading to overthinking, misunderstandings, and unnecessary tension. The constant fear of “messing up” or not meeting expectations can prevent you from fully engaging with others.
Counselling for Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is a common condition that can significantly affect daily life. It involves an intense fear of being judged, criticised, or embarrassed in social situations. This fear can make activities such as meeting new people, attending events, speaking in groups, or even making eye contact feel overwhelming and stressful. Many individuals with social anxiety experience low self-esteem, isolation, and challenges in forming or maintaining relationships. Avoiding social situations might seem like the easiest way to cope, but it can lead to increased loneliness and limit personal growth.
Counselling For Relationship Issues
If your relationships are feeling distant or difficult, it’s normal to feel frustrated or unsure of how to make things better. Whether it’s communication problems, misunderstandings, or emotional disconnect, therapy can offer a space to talk things through without judgment. In our sessions, we’ll look at what’s causing the tension and explore how past experiences or patterns might be affecting your relationships. We’ll take things slowly, looking at the emotional needs of both sides, so you can start to rebuild trust, set healthy boundaries, and improve your connection with others.
Exploring the Impact of Culture and Attachment on Your Relationships
In our counselling work, I welcome the exploration of how your cultural background and attachment style may be influencing your emotional responses and relationships. Together, we’ll examine how cultural expectations and past experiences shape your feelings and behaviours.
By exploring what might be affecting your relationships, we’ll identify patterns linked to cultural influences or attachment dynamics. This deeper understanding will support you in recognising how these factors impact your emotional well-being, helping you navigate them more effectively and build healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.
Understanding the Mind-Body Connection
Your mind and body are closely linked. What happens in your mind, your thoughts, feelings, and stress can directly affect your body. Similarly, the way your body feels can impact your mood and how you think. When you feel stressed or anxious, your body reacts. You might feel tension in your muscles, headaches, or tightness in your chest. These physical symptoms are your body’s way of responding to what’s happening in your mind. At the same time, physical problems or discomfort can also influence how you feel emotionally. This is why taking care of your body can help improve your mental health and vice versa. Your brain and body are constantly sending messages to each other. The more stressed your mind feels, the more your body reacts to that stress.
