Anxiety Counselling in Bromley

Do you feel like your mind never switches off?

 

You might look like you’re coping to others, but inside it’s exhausting.  overthinking, worrying about what might go wrong, replaying conversations, or waking up with your heart racing before the day has even started.

 

Anxiety can feel like you’re constantly “on”, alert, or preparing for something without knowing what.

 

I’m Mark, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor based in Bromley, and I specialise in working with adults experiencing anxiety, overthinking and constant worry.

 

How Anxiety Might Be Affecting You

 

Many people come to me feeling things like:

​

  • Constant overthinking and second-guessing yourself

  • Feeling tense or “on edge” even when nothing is wrong

  • Worrying about how others see you

  • Trouble sleeping — waking early with your mind already racing

  • Feeling panicky or overwhelmed by everyday situations

  • Feeling like you can never fully relax

  • A sense that something bad might happen

  • Feeling irritable or sensitive when you’re stressed

 

If any of these feel familiar, counselling can really help.

Why Anxiety Happens

Anxiety often builds up for understandable reasons.

 

You might have grown up in an environment where you had to stay alert, keep people happy, avoid conflict, or take on more responsibility than was fair.

 

You may have learned to anticipate danger or prepare for the worst because it once helped you cope.

 

Or maybe life has simply become too full, work pressure, family demands, health worries, or a sense of not having space for yourself.

 

There is always a reason anxiety shows up.In therapy, we gently explore that together, without rushing, without pressure, and without judgement.

 

How Counselling Can Help with Anxiety

 

Together we can:

​

  • Slow down and understand what’s driving your anxiety

  • Unpack the thoughts, fears or expectations underneath it

  • Explore past experiences that shaped how you respond now

  • Build a kinder internal voice

  • Learn grounding strategies to help your body settle

  • Untangle patterns like people-pleasing or perfectionism

  • Understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from

 

Over time, people often describe feeling calmer, clearer and more in control,  more like themselves again.

What sessions are like

Sessions last 50 minutes and take place face-to-face in Bromley (Widmore Road).

 

My approach is warm, down-to-earth and thoughtful. You set the pace. You choose what feels safe to talk about.

​

Some weeks you may arrive feeling full and need to let things out. Other weeks we might look gently at patterns that show up in your life.

 

There’s no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready.
