Sound familiar?

  • Evenings are tense; 3 a.m. wake-ups keep returning.
  • Mind races; small tasks feel bigger than they are.
  • You over-prepare or avoid; either way you feel stuck.
  • Mornings start behind; afternoons bring spikes.
  • You’re tired of coping tips that don’t last.
  • You don’t have to be sure this “counts” as anxiety — if your mind feels revved and it’s wearing you down, we can sort it out together.

Steady first.

  • checkmarkOne or two tools you can use tonight to calm evenings and sleep. Over time, many people find nights feel a bit calmer and less spiralled.

Map the pattern.

  • checkmarkName the drivers of your anxiety — triggers, thoughts, habits, body cues, environments — so the spikes stop snapping back.

Make It Stick.

  • checkmarkSmall weekly steps, with a short follow-up email so the plan is easy to keep.

How anxiety often looks

(and why it sticks)

  • The loop: triggers → thoughts → habits → body cues → environments.
  • The hidden driver: an older rule that keeps it close (be perfect; don’t make waves; stay safe by predicting threats).
  • The lever: we pick one small move that shifts the loop, then practise it steadily — aiming for calmer evenings and steadier sleep that holds.
  • Sometimes anxiety isn’t really about what might happen next; it’s about past experiences your mind is still trying to protect you from.

Within 1–3 sessions, many people feel:

  • Evenings a little calmer; sleep a bit steadier.
  • A clearer sense of what’s driving the spikes (not just the symptoms).
  • One small plan that’s easy to keep on hard weeks.

Options That Fit Your Situation

If you want simple tools you can use this week

  • Short, practical steps to steady evenings and sleep.
  • One small plan for a situation you’ve been avoiding.

If anxiety is tied to work

  • Adjust one boundary so work doesn’t eat every evening.
  • Loosen the “old rule” underneath (be perfect, don’t make waves, keep it together).

If anxiety and alcohol are linked

  • Look at what the drink is doing (off-switch, relief, company).
  • Find other ways to get the same relief.

If older patterns won’t let go

  • If you want, we’ll look underneath — old rules you didn’t choose (please, prove, predict).
  • Loosen one small piece so the spikes come less often.

If you’re a professional who looks steady outside

  • Quiet space to drop the “together” mask.
  • Practical steps so your week feels more sustainable.

What you’ll get each session

  • One small plan (tools + steps) you can use this week.
  • Why it works — so it makes sense and sticks.
  • A short follow-up email so the plan is easy to keep.
  • We’ll go at a steady pace — you don’t have to tell your whole story at once.
