Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? I specialise in helping women reclaim their lives (and often their health) from the crippling effects of anxiety and stress, often coupled with feelings of not being good enough.

BWRT is a powerful and cutting edge therapy that can help you with anxiety, stress, weight loss, feelings of failure, not being good enough, low self esteem, phobias, guilt, relationship issues, sleep, binge eating, cravings, trauma and/or stress (and many more things too!)

BWRT stands for BrainWorking Recursive Therapy. It's a highly effective, science-based approach that can quickly (often in just a few sessions) address deep-seated issues without the need for prolonged therapy sessions.

Approach to Psychotherapy & How I Work

One of the best things about BWRT is that it doesn't require delving into your past or trying to reframe traumatic memories and experiences. We only need to know how you feel now and how you want to feel instead.

BWRT targets the brain's 'automatic pilot'โ€”what we often call the subconscious. This is the part of your brain that handles tasks without conscious thought, like writing your name, reciting a nursery rhyme, driving, or tying your shoelaces. It's also the part that instinctively catches an object you knock off a shelf.

Unfortunately, this automatic system can also trigger unwanted responses, like depression, panic, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed, without you being able to stop it. That's where I come in, helping you change these automatic reactions to improve your quality of life.

Testimonials

Beth on 11/11/2024

"Before working with Anna I was in a stressful job, overweight and unable to motivate myself to exercise. Even though I thought I was eating relatively healthily I was exhausted and had started to feel ill. As soon as I spoke with Anna I could feel my mindset shifting. It has been transformational. I've lost over 11kg so far, have gone from no exercise to running 5k three times a week and have a much deeper understanding of stress, nutrition and health. Anna works from the inside out. She has incredible judgement about how to support and challenge you and provides you with very practical and usable tools. This is not an out-of-the-box experience. It's completely tailored to support you with your vision and goals. With Anna's help and her warm non-judgmental approach I've astonished myself by how quickly I'm making changes. I was astonished by how effective BWRT is too. I wasn't expecting for us to use it, but when we did it completely changed how I felt about something. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough. It's been one of the most important investments I've ever made."
