Online Therapy for Anxiety & Overthinking
UK-wide therapy to help you feel confident, calmer, and clearer.
Who This Is For
I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and self-criticism.
Often times it’s not one big life event that brings people to therapy, it’s the constant noise in their minds that just wont settle. It’s the feeling of losing themselves to anxiety, overthinking and self-criticism.
This can often show up in:
• Lying awake at 3am replaying an email from earlier and wondering if it sounded “wrong”
• Overthinking conversations long after they’ve happened
• Feeling a knot of anxiety even when nothing is ‘obviously’ wrong
• Being self-critical and judging yourself over everyday tasks or interactions
• Putting a lot of pressure on yourself to get things right, all the time
• Having downtime but not actually feeling rested because your mind is still running through everything
• Feeling mentally drained from constant internal noise, like you have 63829 mental tabs open
• Experiencing emotions that feel intense, fast, and hard to settle
Many of my clients describe it as their mind never really switching off, like there’s always something running in the background.
We often call these high-anxiety, thought-racing moments “The Snowglobe.”
It’s that feeling when something small gets shaken up inside you, and suddenly everything is in motion. Thoughts speed up, emotions rise, old worries get pulled in, and it can quickly feel completely overwhelming, like it’s hard to find solid ground or think clearly.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone in it, and it doesn’t have to stay this way. If you’re ready to find a therapy space where you can begin to close the mental tabs so that you can feel more focused, calm, and connected to the moment you’re actually in, feel free to schedule a free intro chat below.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy offers a supportive space to work through anxiety, overthinking and self-criticism in a way that feels safe, comfortable and less overwhelming. Therapy can help you
• Feel a bit less caught up in anxious thoughts when they show up
• Notice overthinking without it taking over quite as much
• Be kinder to yourself when things don’t go to plan
• Feel less stuck in self-critical spirals
• Trust your decisions a little more, without second-guessing everything
• Feel less pressure to be “on it” or doing everything perfectly
• Have more moments where things feel calmer and less heavy
• Start to feel more like yourself again, underneath all the anxiety, overthinking & self-criticism
How It Works
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re starting something new. Let me show you what the process looks like; how to get in touch, what to expect after reaching out, and how we can begin working together!
You can drop me a message when you feel ready. People often share a brief outline of why they are seeking therapy! I aim to respond to enquiries within 24 hours.
Reach Out
We have a relaxed chat where you can ask any questions, share a bit about what’s going on, and get a sense of me too! I try to schedule an intro call within 7 days of you reaching out (if our diaries allow!)
Intro Chat
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll find a regular time that works for you and get your first session in the diary. If it doesn’t feel right, that’s completely okay too, there’s no pressure to continue.
Schedule First Session
We start where you are, gently exploring what you’ve been struggling with in a way that feels steady and supported!
Begin Therapy
“There’s so many changes I could describe from working with Alex, I’ve been able to significantly change my internal dialogue around perfectionism, fear of failure and how I view progress in all areas of my life.”
Hi! I’m Alex!
Therapist & Recovered Anxious Overthinker.
I’m a UK-based Online Therapist Who Works With Anxious and Self-Critical Humans.
People often choose to work with me because they feel I truly ‘get them’. Not just as a therapist, but someone who has been there.
I understand what it’s like to live in a body that’s always bracing, a mind that never switches off, someone who feels everything more intensely than it seems you’re “supposed to”.
I work with the overthinkers who have been taught to look ‘fine’ on the outside, the ‘sensitive’ ones who were told they were too much, so they learned to shrink or smile instead, and the ones who’ve spent years coping, masking, managing… but never really living authentically.
How I Work
a space to be heard and understood without being judged for how you are feeling
an approach that isn’t focused on quick fixes or techniques, but on understanding what sits underneath patterns, so that change comes from within
a space to make sense of your experience, rather than immediately shift to ‘fix-it’ or ‘analyser’ role
working together to notice how thoughts, emotions, and responses take shape over time
a relational way of working, where confidence and self-trust are built in our therapy sessions, rather than in homework tasks
allowing change to emerge gradually through understanding and compassion
“I felt stuck in thought patterns, emotional outbursts at loved ones and felt like I had lost myself. Thanks to Alex, I've found a way to work through all of this and come out the other side feeling like I'm no longer stuck in the past”

“I've seen many different therapists in my life and I can say that working with Alex felt so different to what I had experienced in the past. I always felt they didn't really get it or me. Working with Alex allowed me to process so much of my past that had impacted me into my adult life”
