Mindfulness for Anxiety
Everyone feels fear. But for some of us, anxiety forms the backdrop of our lives, filling our minds with worry and squeezing our hearts with constant pressure. This is exhausting and leads us to seek relief - in food, alcohol, social media, work or wherever we can find it. Anything that will distract and numb us. This can work in the short term, but over time, our lives become smaller and the negative consequences of these strategies start to build up.
We need another way to feel better. A way that doesn’t require us to become someone else. A way that involves tapping into capacities we already have (even if we’ve forgotten about them). That’s what mindfulness is: a set of skills that enable you to feel better and move forward with confidence.
If you have any questions about this, you can send me an email.
You can also go ahead and arrange a free, no-pressure conversation to see if this is a good fit for you. No sales pitch, just an open conversation to explore if this is right for you.
How this works
I work one-on-one with people to provide a personalised approach to learning mindfulness for anxiety.
Sessions happen over Zoom and include periods of guided mindfulness exercises, feedback on your experiences, and targeted teaching based on your needs. The exercises are recorded so you can use them as a resource for practicing on your own. Sessions last 60 minutes and cost £75.00 each.
The number of sessions can be tailored to your needs. If you are just beginning to learn mindfulness, five sessions are a good starting point. The process starts with a free, no-pressure call, where we can meet, explore your needs and goals, and outline how we might work together.
Who is this for?
You’re struggling with anxiety. Fear, panic or worry are affecting your relationships, your work or your sense of simply being ok.
Your mind is working against you. Overthinking, perfectionism and self-criticism are getting in your way.
You’re overdoing it with unhelpful habits. Food, alcohol, social media, shopping—whatever ways you use to distract from or numb anxiety are getting out of hand.
Who is this not for?
You prefer to work in a group. Personal coaching is all about offering one-to-one, tailored support. Learning in a group is good too; it’s just different. If you want to learn in a group, let me know, and I can point you in the right direction.
You’re looking for therapy. Learning mindfulness is about acquiring new skills; it’s not therapy. Mindfulness works nicely alongside psychotherapy and other mental health services, but it doesn’t replace them.
You’re looking for a quick fix. With mindfulness, you can see benefits quite quickly, but it takes time to learn and apply in the reality of your life.
If you’re not sure about this, why not schedule a conversation and we can discuss it? I’d love to hear from you.
