Psychotherapy for anxiety and overthinking in Basingstoke
I offer in-person psychotherapy in Basingstoke for high-achieving women living with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism and a tiredness that rest doesn't seem to reach. Many come from Basingstoke itself, and many travel from nearby towns such as Winchester, Reading, Fleet and Hook.

When people come to therapy
People often seek therapy when anxiety starts to affect daily life, overthinking becomes difficult to manage, or they feel mentally exhausted even when life looks fine. You may feel stuck in patterns you do not fully understand, with a growing sense that something needs to change but uncertainty about how to begin.
What therapy with me offers
Therapy is a space to step out of constant pressure and begin to make sense of your experience. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, we work to understand the emotional patterns behind them. This can help you develop clarity, reduce internal pressure and support more sustainable change over time.

How we work together
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This is not a structured or technique-led approach. We consider present difficulties alongside the deeper emotional history influencing them. Sessions are reflective, collaborative, consistent and focused on insight.
What women bring
Anxiety and overthinking, burnout, perfectionism and self-criticism, people-pleasing and difficulty saying no, guilt around rest, imposter feelings, work stress and patterns in relationships.
Coming from nearby towns
Many of the women I see travel to the practice, which is a short drive from junction 7 of the M3. From Hook and Fleet the journey is usually around fifteen to twenty minutes by car, short enough to fit before or after work. From Winchester it is around twenty to twenty-five minutes, and from Reading closer to forty. Some women find that the time before and after a session becomes part of it, a pause between the demands of the day and the space to feel what has been held.
If the journey isn't possible every week, we can hold the occasional session online instead.
