Why 30 Years of Experience Matters
Treating Health Anxiety requires more than general counselling. It requires a specialist who understands the nuance of Cognitive Restructuring and Behavioural Experiments.
In my three decades of practice, I have helped hundreds of clients transition from "symptom-checking" to "life-living." We don't just talk about your fears; we dismantle the mechanism that keeps them alive.
Face to Face sessions are available in Manchester City Centre and in Prestwich
Our Online Treatment Strategy
Many of my clients choose Zoom sessions because Health Anxiety often manifests in the home—where you check the mirror, use the thermometer, or search the internet. Working together remotely allows us to:

Does this sound familiar?
- You notice a physical sensation and your mind immediately jumps to the worst-case scenario.
- You spend hours researching symptoms online, only to feel more terrified than when you started.
- You feel a temporary sense of relief after a GP appointment or a test, but the doubt returns within days—or even hours.
- You are constantly "scanning" your body for changes, lumps, or pains.

- Map Your Triggers: We identify exactly what sparks your "alarm system."
- Stop the Safety Behaviors: I coach you through the process of dropping the checking rituals and Google-searches in real-time.
- Recalibrate Your "Internal Alarm": We work to increase your tolerance for normal physical sensations so they no longer signal a "crisis."

" when I felt an ache or pain I would instantly think it was cancer. I would try to get rid of the thought but it kept coming back. I then kept going to the doctor to get checked out. When he told me it was not cancer I felt relief but this would not last long. I would then have to go back again and again.
My CBT sessions have shown me how to change my thinking so the health anxiety is no longer in control."
Thank you
