Anxiety & Depression
Quieter mind. Fuller life.
Anxiety and low mood are signals, not defects. We work at both levels, calming the symptom while understanding what it has been trying to tell you.
Anxiety and low mood are signals, not defects. We work at both levels, calming the symptom while understanding what it has been trying to tell you.
— The racing mind that will not switch off, especially at night.
— Functioning impressively on the outside while flat or frightened inside.
— A low hum of dread with no obvious cause.
— Irritability with the people you love most, followed by guilt.
— Joylessness, everything works, nothing lands.
— Physical symptoms your doctor has ruled everything else out for.
CBT and DBT give fast, practical traction: tools for panic, rumination, sleep and the thought loops that keep anxiety fed. Most clients feel the difference within weeks.
But if tools were enough, the self-help shelf would have cured you already. Psychodynamic work asks the deeper question, what the anxiety protects, what the depression grieves, so relief doesn't depend on managing symptoms forever.
High-functioning anxiety and depression are a specialism of mine. The better you are at performing wellness, the lonelier the struggle becomes, and the more the work has to honour both the competence and the cost.
Panic & acute anxiety: Immediate, practical protocols for the moments that feel unsurvivable.
Rumination & overthinking: Interrupting the loops, then understanding what keeps switching them on.
Low mood & depression: From heaviness and numbness back toward appetite for your own life.
Sleep & the body: Where anxiety lives physically: sleep, tension, the 3am wakings.
The roots: Early experience, loss and pressure that taught your nervous system to brace.
A different baseline: Not just fewer bad days, a changed relationship with your own mind.
Weekly sessions: in person in London or online anywhere, in English or Arabic, with full continuity when you travel.
Intensive programme: several sessions a week with structured support between them, for situations that need momentum now.
24/7 live-in: around-the-clock therapeutic support in the UK, and internationally on request. Deliberately limited availability.
Clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain work with me online, in Arabic or English, and we meet in person during their time in London. Being understood in your mother tongue changes what this work can reach.
No, I'm not a prescriber. Where medication may help, I work alongside your psychiatrist or GP, and can coordinate care discreetly.
If it costs you peace, it's serious enough. Many of my clients lead demanding lives extremely well while privately exhausted, that gap is precisely what we close.
Either, or both. Anxiety often speaks the language of childhood, working in your mother tongue can reach places a second language cannot.
