Frequently Asked Questions

Will Jennifer get rid of my anxiety completely?

The sole purpose of anxiety is to keep us safe and it is an evolutionary part of our human development and survival. In fact, we would not have survived as a species if we had no fear of ANYTHING!

The purpose of attending anxiety management sessions is to change your relationship with anxiety and teach you the tools, techniques and strategies so that anxiety no longer holds you back. You will no longer be triggered by anxious thoughts and will be able to achieve anything you want with a feeling of calmness and ease.

Alongside this, your confidence and self esteem will also improve. Clients repeatedly tell us that their relationships, health, finances and career all improve as a result of the work you will do with Jennifer.

If anyone promises you they will eliminate anxiety completely, they are not a specialist in anxiety, and do not understand it.

Anxiety will pop up again if you were in a genuine fearful situation, just as it is supposed to. You will then be able to make a rational decision of the best action to take, using the tools and techniques you will have been taught.

How can I calm my anxiety immediately?

How many sessions does it take before I can overcome my anxiety?

This varies depending on each individual, your commitment to change and your dedication to implement what you have learnt.

The average duration is just 3 months.

Jennifer offers a FREE no obligation consultation call where you can discuss your situation (or that of your child) and she will prescribe a solution that is unique to you.  

Can I do a combination of in person and zoom sessions?

Yes, absolutely this is possible.

Do you do walk ins or do I have to prebook an anxiety session?

You will need to prebook a session in advance.

How long is the waiting list for anxiety therapy?

The waiting list for anxiety therapy can cavy, however Jennifer can usually get you started on sessions within 1 to 2 weeks of making the initial consultation call.

Do you do pro bono or charity sessions?

Yes, Jennifer has a number of pro bono sessions available each month. They do get booked up quickly and are usually prioritised for children and young adults who are most in need.

Do I need a medical diagnosis before I can be referred for your Anxiety Therapy?

No, you do not need a medical diagnosis to take part in anxiety therapy, and you are able to self refer yourself.

Does Jennifer work with children who are refusing to attend school at the moment, because their anxiety is so bad?

Yes, Jennifer has worked with many children and schools where the child was school refusing, and in every case, the child has returned to their education.

With the parents permission (and child, depending on age) Jennifer can work with local schools in Braintree to ensure the best outcome for the child.

Can I attend anxiety therapy sessions with my child as they are too anxious to attend alone?

Yes, it is possible to attend anxiety therapy sessions with your anxious child, however Jennifer’s intention is to get your child to a place where they have confidence and belief in their own ability as soon as possible. This is often achieved quicker without the parent being present.

That said, it is helpful for parents to have a better understanding of anxiety too, and understand how you can best support your child in your home environment.

This can be discussed on the initial FREE consultation call.

My partner does not understand my anxiety and he is getting really cross with me. How can I help him to understand what it is like to have anxiety?

A Great question! It is not unusual for a partner to feel frustration around anxiety and whenever this happens, Jennifer always suggests your partner has a conversation with her so she can explain that your worries are very real to you and it is impossible to just snap out of them.

Jennifer will also teach your partner some strategies that they can help you use in an anxious moment.

This is included in the packages offered, and comes at no additional cost.

I can not afford your services, do you have an online training course I could take?

At the moment, Jennifer still runs the online training courses “live” as she wants you to benefit from a Q&A with her each week so she can help with your specific needs.

We are planning on launching an affordable online course soon.

Please get in touch so you can be added to the wait list.
