Online therapy for anxiety, worry and overthinking
Support for anxiety, racing thoughts, and feeling on edge
Anxiety and overthinking can leave you feeling constantly "on," even when you are trying to rest.
Sometimes anxiety feels like a loud, persistent worry about the future. At other times, it shows up more quietly as a background hum of tension, a need for perfectionism, or a mind that refuses to switch off after a long day.
These experiences can be exhausting, especially when you are balancing high-responsibility roles or a demanding professional life.
For many people, anxiety develops alongside work-related stress and burnout, or can eventually lead to feelings of low mood and heaviness.
I offer person-centred online therapy for anxiety across the UK, from my base in Leeds, providing a steady, confidential space to slow down and find a calmer way forward.
Mind racing or feeling on edge? You don’t have to manage this alone
If this feels familiar, you can start by booking a free confidential assessment.
If you want something practical first, you can also learn simple ways to calm work stress and reduce overwhelm.
How therapy can help with anxiety and overthinking
Therapy helps you understand the patterns keeping your anxiety going and gives you tools to respond differently to worry, helping you to:
Understand your triggers
Identify the specific pressures, situations, and thoughts that drive your anxiety loops.
Settle your nervous system
Make sense of physical symptoms like tension or panic and learn how to find calm.
Break the cycle of overthinking
Develop strategies to step out of rumination and stay grounded in the present moment.
Navigate pressure with steadiness
Learn to manage uncertainty and responsibility without feeling constantly overwhelmed.
My approach is person-centred. This means we work at your pace, focusing on the worries that feel most pressing to you, while helping you build long-term resilience.
You don't have to keep navigating this mental noise on your own.
Common symptoms of anxiety and overthinking
Anxiety shows up in many ways, but professionals often notice patterns like these:
For many, anxiety is linked to the high stakes of their role and the feeling of being "always on." If this sounds like you, therapy can help you find a way to switch off and reclaim your mental energy.
You don’t have to keep feeling this way
Overthinking can be isolating and mentally draining. Therapy gives you a space to talk openly and begin to quiet the noise.
What counselling for anxiety can help with
Therapy can support you to understand, reduce, and respond differently to anxiety and worry, helping you to:
- make sense of what is driving your anxiety
- break the loop of constant overthinking
- learn to trust your own decisions again
- reduce the physical impact of stress and tension
- develop healthier ways of handling uncertainty
- feel more present in your personal life

The aim is to help you move from a state of constant "alert" to a place of greater calm and confidence.
