Counselling

Structured, practical support for anxiety, stress, phobias and relationship difficulties

Support with anxiety, worry, phobias and compulsions

Do you often feel anxious, caught up in overthinking, or driven by fear and a need for control? I help you understand what triggers your anxiety and work with you in practical ways to reduce avoidance, loosen compulsive patterns and gradually face what feels difficult — so that fear no longer runs your life.

Gradual exposure to reduce fearReduce compulsions and avoidanceManage panic and excessive worryDevelop safer, more helpful coping strategies

Support for low mood and life changes

When your energy is low, self-criticism is strong, or life has shifted in ways you didn’t expect, it can be hard to find direction. Together, we explore unhelpful thinking patterns, build self-confidence and take meaningful steps towards what matters to you — even when motivation feels hard to access.

Increase energy through behavioural activationClarify what matters to you and your valuesChallenge unhelpful thinking patternsTake practical steps forward

Changing unhelpful patterns in relationships

Do you notice yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships or habits you’d like to leave behind? I help you understand what keeps you stuck and support you in developing clearer boundaries, more sustainable ways of coping, and relationships that feel healthier and more secure.

Identify and change unhelpful patternsSet clearer boundaries and communicate more confidentlyBuild more secure and sustainable relationshipsReduce unhelpful habits

Support with stress and burnout

Do you sleep and wake just as tired? When rest no longer restores, and neither the weekend nor the holiday touches it, the answer is rarely just resting more. Together we look at what drains your energy, how recovery can be built into your week, and how you find a pace you can actually sustain.

Client Testimonials

Experiences of support, structure and gradual change

"I came to Lena feeling overwhelmed by worry and rumination that were taking over my daily life. Through practical exercises and gradual exposure, I learned to face what frightened me, and today I feel freer in my choices."

Anna

"What made the biggest difference was the combination of structure and warmth. Lena helped me understand my patterns without judging, and gave me tools that actually work outside the therapy room without judgement."

John

"I thought I needed to get rid of my difficult thoughts in order to feel better. Instead I learned to relate to them in a new way and began living more in line with what truly matters to me."
