Overthinking
Psychotherapy for Overthinking
For women who replay conversations, rehearse what might happen, and find it hard to simply be.
You might recognise
- Going over conversations long after they have ended
- Struggling to make decisions in case you get it wrong
- Lying awake with your mind running
- Understanding yourself well, yet still feeling stuck
Thinking as a way of staying safe
Overthinking is often an attempt to stay one step ahead, to prevent mistakes or avoid feeling something difficult. It can feel productive, yet leave you exhausted and no closer to peace.
Moving from the head into feeling
Many of the women I work with already have a great deal of insight. In therapy we gently notice when thinking takes over, and make room for the feelings underneath, at a pace that feels manageable.
In Basingstoke and online
I offer this work in person in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and online across the UK. Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, and begin with a free initial call.
