In-person anxiety therapy Spalding, Lincolnshire & online anxiety therapist worldwide
Tired of feeling anxious?
(because if one more person suggests breathing exercises, we're going to scream)
Anxiety is exhausting, isn't it?
There you are, stabbing at your mindfulness app and wondering why these fancy breathing exercises aren't doing anything.
And don't even get me started on that online hypnotherapist who had you counting backwards while thinking of butterflies, or whatever nonsense that was.
Oh, you felt better for a bit, did you? Brilliant! For what... a whole 48 hours before your old mate anxiety came crawling back like a persistent ex? How's that working out for you?
So now you're lying awake at 3 AM, staring at the ceiling like it's going to give you the secrets of the universe, or finding yourself with your heart hammering away like you're running a marathon while actually just trying to buy milk at Sainsbury's.
Your legs have turned to jelly, and you're about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
Why most anxiety therapy in Spalding (and elsewhere) fails
-
Solution focused therapy: Like putting a plaster on a broken leg while ignoring the knife still stuck in it
-
Mindfulness apps: Perfect for when you enjoy counting breaths during a panic attack in Sainsbury's
-
Positive thinking: About as useful as a paper umbrella in a hurricane.
-
Traditional hypnotherapy: Great if you fancy a nice nap while your problems throw a party
-
"Just relax": If this worked, none of us would be here, would we?
Your anxiety has made itself quite at home, hasn't it? Sitting there in your life like an unwanted houseguest, mucking up your job, your relationships, and that tiny bit of peace of mind that you're desperately trying to hold on to.
And the advice you get is all just about "managing" your anxiety.
How's that working out for you, by the way?
Why trust me with your head?
Rewind a few years and you'll see me, clutching my shiny new hypnotherapy certificate like it was the golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory.
Oh, how I thought I'd cracked it! Just pop my anxious clients into a lovely trance, read them a nice solution focused hypnotherapy style story about their "happy place," and boom - anxiety gone forever!
Surprise! Turns out waving my metaphorical magic wand and telling people to "relax" is about as effective as trying to stop a tsunami with a paper umbrella.
Who knew?
That's when I became determined to become a proper anxiety specialist.
REAL WORDS FROM REAL PEOPLE
"For anyone in any doubt I would highly recommend your approach, you keep it real Vic and that to me speaks volumes."
Julie M.
What really works (no crystals required)
Think of it as therapy with a backbone - and a sense of humour.
Warning: May cause unexpected emotional shifts and actual lasting change. Not recommended for those attached to their comfort blanket of anxiety.
EMDR's cooler, more sophisticated, cousin. Looks deceptively simple, works brilliantly. Like reorganising your mental sock drawer, if your sock drawer held all your traumatic memories.
Tired of friends who respond to every problem with "Have you tried yoga?" or "Mercury must be in retrograde!"? Sometimes you just need someone who'll listen without trying to fix you with essential oils or talking about their own issues all the time.
The immediate benefits of seeing me
(because who has time to wait?)
-
Permission to bin your mindfulness app (finally!)
-
A therapist who won't suggest essential oils for your existential crisis
-
Actual strategies what work in real life (not just in a therapy room)
-
Someone who understands that anxiety isn't fixed by scented candles
-
Solutions that don't involve downloading yet another app
Plus.you'll get to skip the whole "let's spend six months talking about your childhood while I nod sympathetically" phase.
We've got better things to do with your time and money, haven't we?
Ready to feel better?
Here's how we'll do this (because having a plan makes your anxiety feel better, doesn't it?):
-
Free 15-minute chat (just to see if we click - no life story needed)
-
If we're a match: Two sessions to start (£99 each, because your brain won't rewire itself in one go)
-
More sessions if useful (but I'm not here to become your new expensive hobby)
Sessions run 90-120 minutes, available in Spalding or online. (Yes, Zoom therapy in pyjamas is perfectly acceptable)
Note for the overthinkers: That chat really is just a chat. No psychoanalysis, no judgement about your unused meditation apps - just checking we're a good fit.
(Though if you're still reading, we probably are)
REAL WORDS FROM REAL PEOPLE
"I 100% would recommend for anybody. You are a truely amazing lovely person who helped me immensely and you genuinely care!"

Still reading? You might just be ready.
Right then!
You've read this far, which means either:
a) You're procrastinating (hello anxiety!)
b) Something here resonates
c) Both of the above
If it's b) or c), let's have a chat.
Here's what happens next:
-
Book a free 15-minute chat (just to see if we chat - no life story required)
-
If we both think we're a good match, you'll get a booking link
-
We'll start with two sessions (this isn't optional - one session is like reading half a book)
-
More sessions available if useful (but only if there's real value in it)
DEEP & MEANINGFUL MOMENT:
"No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen."
Alan Watts
