Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

I felt comfortable with Marie,  she helped me to gain some of my confidence back and was able to set plans in place for future. 

Anxiety

Stress

When I first went to see Zach, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and really intense chest pain. I was also constantly in my head. I would overthink everything, analyse every situation and try to work things out intellectually, but somehow I never actually got anywhere and the anxiety would just keep coming back.

What I appreciated about Zach was that he was compassionate, but also very direct. He didn’t sugar-coat things and there were times when he challenged me in a way that was uncomfortable, but usually because I was avoiding something important or going back into analysing instead of actually feeling what was happening.

Over time I started to realise that a lot of the anxiety was connected to feelings I had been pushing away or simply didn’t know how to experience. Instead, they seemed to come out through anxiety and the pain in my chest. Learning to stay with those feelings rather than immediately escaping into my head has been one of the hardest parts of the work, but also the most important.

The process hasn’t been easy, but I can genuinely say I’m in a very different place now. My anxiety is much lower, the chest pain has reduced a lot and, probably for the first time, I can actually recognise and literally feel what is underneath the anxiety rather than just thinking about it.

I still overthink sometimes, but it no longer feels like I’m trapped in it. That has been a huge change for me.
