Online therapy for Anxiety, Worry and Overthinking
Understanding anxiety and finding a sense of calm again
Anxiety often doesn’t come out of nowhere.
It can build through pressure, responsibility, overthinking, or feeling like you have too much on your mind, especially when work or life feels constant and hard to switch off from.
You might experience:
• constant worry or overthinking
• a racing mind that won’t slow down
• a tight chest, tension, or physical discomfort
• difficulty sleeping or switching off
• feeling on edge, even when nothing obvious is wrong
• panic symptoms that feel sudden or overwhelming
These experiences can feel confusing and draining, particularly when you’re used to coping or keeping things together on the outside.
I offer person-centred online therapy for anxiety across the UK, from my base in Leeds, helping you understand what’s driving your anxiety and find a calmer, more manageable way forward.
If this feels familiar, you can start with a free confidential assessment.
How therapy can help with anxiety
Therapy for anxiety is not about “getting rid” of thoughts, it’s about understanding them and changing how you relate to them.
Working together, we can help you:
• understand the patterns that keep anxiety going
• reduce overthinking and constant mental noise
• feel calmer in your body and less on edge
• respond differently to pressure, responsibility, and uncertainty
• feel more in control of your thoughts and reactions
My approach is person-centred. That means we work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you, while still helping you make steady, meaningful progress.
You don’t have to keep managing this on your own.
Common symptoms of anxiety
Anxiety can show up in different ways, but many people notice:
• persistent worry or overthinking
• feeling tense, restless, or unable to relax
• a constant sense of pressure or urgency
• panic symptoms such as a racing heart or shortness of breath
• difficulty concentrating or staying focused
• feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks
• fear of making mistakes or letting others down
For many people, anxiety is closely linked to pressure, whether from work, expectations, or feeling responsible for too much.
If this sounds familiar, it’s a sign something needs attention and not something to push through.
What counselling for anxiety can help with
Therapy can support you to:
• understand what is driving your anxiety
• reduce overthinking and mental overload
• manage physical symptoms and panic responses
• feel calmer and more grounded
• improve boundaries and reduce pressure
• feel more confident and in control
The aim is not just to cope, but to feel clearer, calmer, and more like yourself again.
What sessions are like
Sessions offer a calm, steady space where you can slow things down.
You don’t need to have the right words or present things in a certain way.
As a person-centred therapist, I won’t tell you what to do. Instead, we work together to understand what’s happening and what might help you feel more settled and less overwhelmed.
Some sessions are reflective. Others are more focused on patterns, triggers, or ways of responding differently.
Over time, the aim is for you to feel:
• less overwhelmed
• clearer in your thinking
• calmer in your body
• more able to manage pressure and uncertainty

Frequently Asked Questions about Anxiety
-
You don’t need to wait until anxiety feels severe to benefit from therapy.
If anxiety is affecting your sleep, work, relationships, or day-to-day life — or if you feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking — counselling can help. Therapy is useful for both mild and more intense anxiety, especially if you want to understand what’s going on and feel more in control.
-
Yes — anxiety often shows up in the body as well as the mind.
Common physical symptoms include a racing heart, tight chest, dizziness, stomach tension, nausea, headaches, and difficulty sleeping. These sensations are very real and can feel alarming, but they are a common part of how anxiety affects the nervous system.
-
This varies depending on your situation and what you want from therapy.
Some people begin to notice changes within a few sessions, particularly when working on specific issues like overthinking or stress. Others prefer longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns and build more lasting change.
-
Yes. Alongside person-centred therapy, I can share practical approaches to help you manage anxiety in everyday life.
This may include grounding techniques, breathing strategies, and ways of responding differently to anxious thoughts. These are introduced in a way that fits with your pace and what feels helpful for you.
-
Yes. Therapy can help you understand why your mind gets stuck in cycles of overthinking and worry, and how to step out of those patterns.
Over time, this can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more able to focus on what matters.
-
Yes — research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face counselling, particularly when delivered through video sessions.
