Health Issues/Anxiety Support
Have you been recently diagnosed with a health condition?
Is your health affecting your everyday life and don’t know who to talk to?
Are you constantly anxious about getting a health condition or having a condition reappear?
If any of these sound like you, you are in the right place.
I provide specialist support for dealing with these issues, when I was 22, I was living in New Zealand and woke up to half of my body paralysed. I contracted a viral infection which affected all my body. Today I live with chronic fatigue syndrome, a rare kidney disorder and type 1 diabetes.
I understand firsthand what it is like to receive a health condition which changes your life. You grieve the life you once had, the things you used to do, you can’t do anymore and that is terrifying and so sad.
Even with this massive change, life can be still positive, and I will help support you find your new normal. Find ways to cope and manage with your health condition and live in a happier way. Its so important to be able to talk through life changes with someone in a safe and comfortable space and for you to know that you are not alone.
Sometimes when we go through illnesses such as cancer, we get a fear of it coming back even though all our test results are clear. This can develop into something called health anxiety which is a form of OCD. Through Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy and Exposure and Prevention Therapy, we will work on those fears. We will safely expose you to the anxiety but in a very controlled environment.
Fears are normal, however having Health Anxiety can be really scary and it can feel like it's taking over your life. I will guide you through your healing journey and be your professional friend who wants to walk alongside you,
