Online Therapy for Anxiety,Overthinking & Emotional Overwhelm
You’re no stranger to the anxiety, overthinking or emotional overwhelm…
Life can feel like too much sometimes. Juggling work, bills, relationships, social expectations, and all the advice about how we should live. On the surface, we’re doing fine, we show up, get things done, and seem competent. But inside, our minds never stop.
We replay conversations. We overthink every decision, big or small. We worry about how others see us, whether we’re “too much” or “not enough,” and whether we’ve made the wrong choices that can’t be undone. We feel the pressure to have it all together, career, love, friends, self-improvement… while the reality is messy, exhausting, and overwhelming. We think about what could go wrong tomorrow, next week, or even years from now and feel responsible for how everyone else might feel, like their mood somehow depends on us getting it “right.”
All at the same time, we we scroll through social media and wonder why everyone else seems to have it figured out. We often come to the conclusion that we just need to improve ourselves and we will ‘get there’.
My client’s and I often call this ‘The weighted backpack’, that overstuffed bag of expectations, responsibility and pressure that feels crushing to carry around with us everyday.
If this is sounding familiar, I want you to know that it doesn’t have to stay this way, nor do you have to do it alone!
I work with people just like you to help you feel at ease within yourself, to lighten the mental backpack and to stop running on the mental loops.
Hi! I’m Alex!
Therapist & Recovered Anxious Overthinker.
I’m a UK-based Online Therapist Who Works With Anxious, Emotionally Overloaded 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, the ones who’ve spent years coping, masking, managing… but never really living authentically.
How Therapy With Me Might Feel Different
I won’t tell you to just reframe negative thoughts with positive ones. Nor will we battle your anxiety till it has no other option than to be compartmentalised… untill the next time it bubbles over.
Instead, we’ll get curious about what’s really happening inside.
Maybe your mind replays conversations because it’s terrified of saying the wrong thing.
Maybe you prepare for every possible scenario because uncertainty has always felt unsafe.
Maybe your emotions come in intense waves, not because you’re “too much,” but because you were never shown how to feel and process them.
Maybe that inner voice keeps warning you to “watch what you say” or “don’t be weird“, because it learned long ago that being misunderstood or judged hurts.
In our sessions, rather than fighting these parts of you in hope they disappear, we’ll begin to listen to what they’re protecting, maybe it’s the fear of rejection, failure, abandonment, embarrassment or loss.
When we meet those places with compassion instead of pressure, something begins to shift. Coping turns into healing. Anxiety turns into safety. Self-doubt turns into trust and self-confidence.
And life begins to feel less like survival, and more like living from a steadier and connected place inside you.
Instead of the mental noise
Imagine…
Waking up without immediately bracing for the day.
Carrying less tension throughout the day
Feeling more present in life and less in your head.
Trusting your own thoughts and feelings instead of fearing them.
Actually enjoying rest, without guilt and mental chatter.
Saying no without rehearsing fifteen explanations in your head.
Being authentic without feeling you have to apologise or diminish who you are
Not a perfect, always calm life, but more ease. More self-trust. More connection.
