Does this sound familiar?

  • Evenings are tense; 3 a.m. wake-ups keep returning.
  • Mind races; small tasks feel bigger than they are.
  • You over-prepare or avoid; either way you feel stuck.
  • Mornings start behind; afternoons bring spikes.
  • You’re tired of coping tips that don’t last.
  • You don’t have to be sure this “counts” as anxiety — if your mind feels revved and it’s wearing you down, we can sort it out together.

What we’ll do:

quick help now + lasting change
Steady first. One or two tools you can use tonight to calm evenings and sleep. Over time, many people find nights feel a bit calmer and less spiralled.
Map the pattern. Name the drivers of your anxiety — triggers, thoughts, habits, body cues, environments — so the spikes stop boomeranging.

Make It Stick.

Tiny weekly reps, with a short follow-up email so the plan is easy to keep.

How anxiety often looks

(and why it holds)

wave icon
  • Anxiety loops across triggers → thoughts → habits → body → environments. Underneath, an older rule can keep it close (be perfect; don’t make waves; stay safe by predicting threats). We’ll pick the smallest lever that moves the most and practise it steadily — aiming for calmer evenings and steadier sleep that holds.
  • Sometimes anxiety isn’t really about what might happen next; it’s about past experiences your mind is still trying to protect you from.

Within 1–3 sessions, many people feel

  • Evenings a little calmer; sleep a bit steadier.
  • A clearer sense of what’s driving the spikes (not just the symptoms).
  • One small plan that’s easy to keep on hard weeks.

Options that fit your situation

  • If you want simple tools you can use this week
  • Short, practical steps to steady evenings and sleep.
  • Ways to respond differently when worry flares up.
  • One small plan for a situation you’ve been avoiding.
  • If anxiety is tied to work
  • Adjust one small boundary so work doesn’t eat every evening.
  • Look at how work expectations and old rules collide.
  • Shape how you start and end the day so it feels cleaner.
  • If anxiety and alcohol are linked
  • No labels. No lectures. Steady evenings fast.
  • Look at what the drink is doing (off-switch, relief, company).
  • Find other ways to get the same relief.
  • If older patterns won’t let go
  • If you want, we’ll look underneath — old rules you didn’t choose (please, prove, predict).
  • Spot how they show up now and loosen one small piece.
  • If you’re a professional who looks steady outside.
  • Quiet space to drop the “together” mask.
  • Practical steps so your week feels more sustainable.

What you’ll get each session

  • One small plan (tools + steps) you can use this week.
  • Why it works — so it makes sense and sticks.
  • A short follow-up email so the plan is easy to keep.
  • We’ll go at a steady pace — you don’t have to tell your whole story at once.
