Anxiety & Depression
Work with a Psychologist Experienced in Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety can make it difficult to switch off, feel at ease or trust yourself. Depression may leave you feeling low, disconnected or unable to find pleasure in things that once mattered to you.
Sometimes, these experiences overlap.
I offer a space to talk about what you are going through, even if you are unsure how to describe it.
You do not need a diagnosis to seek support.
Not Sure Where to Start?
It's common to have questions. An initial consultation gives you the opportunity to talk things through in a safe and confidential space.
Space to Talk About What Is Troubling You
You may be managing work, relationships and daily responsibilities while privately struggling. Perhaps your feelings are connected to a recent experience, or they have been part of your life for as long as you can remember.
As an anxiety and depression psychologist, I can help you explore what lies behind these feelings, how they affect your life and what you would like to change.
Our work can make room for experiences that are difficult to share elsewhere, including uncertainty, anger, shame or the feeling that you should be coping better.

How Anxiety and Depression May Be Affecting You
When Anxiety Takes Up More of Your Life
Worry may follow you through the day, making ordinary decisions feel difficult or leaving you anticipating that something will go wrong. You might find yourself seeking reassurance, avoiding situations or struggling to relax even when there is no immediate pressure.
Therapy offers an opportunity to explore:
- Persistent worry and feeling on edge.
- Fears of criticism, rejection or disappointing others.
- Pressure to get things right and difficulty tolerating uncertainty.
- The impact of anxiety disorders on relationships, work and everyday choices.
Whether you have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or recognise some of these experiences, we can begin with what is troubling you.
When You Feel Low, Disconnected or Stuck
Depression can involve sadness, but you may also feel numb, irritable or distant from other people. Everyday tasks might require more effort, and it may be difficult to imagine things feeling different.
You may want support with:
- Low mood or a loss of interest and enjoyment.
- Feelings of worthlessness, guilt or harsh self-criticism.
- Withdrawing from relationships or feeling alone around others.
- A sense of emptiness, hopelessness or loss of direction.
You do not have to explain why you feel this way before contacting an anxiety and depression psychologist. Finding words for your experience can be part of the work we do together.
Finding Support That Feels Right for You
You may be seeking therapy for the first time, returning after a break or looking for space to explore difficulties that keep recurring.
I offer psychotherapy in London in both English and German. You can read more about how I work and what beginning therapy involves on my psychology services page.
Online therapy is available in particular circumstances, which we can discuss during your initial enquiry.
My Approach
My broad clinical training enables me to draw on different therapeutic perspectives, while considering psychological difficulties within the wider context of each person’s life.
THE PROCESS
How We Work Together
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. While every therapy journey is unique, it often follows three key stages:
01 —
Understanding Your Difficulties
An initial assessment explores your current concerns, relevant history and biological, psychological and social influences.
02 —
Developing Your Goals
Together, you consider what you would like to achieve and which therapeutic approach may be most appropriate.
03 —
Working Together
Therapy may involve understanding patterns, processing feelings, developing new ways of responding and reviewing progress over time.
