When Anxiety Takes Over, Knowing What to Do Is Not Always Enough

You can begin with a free 15-minute consultation to talk through what has been happening and find out whether BWRT® may be suitable for you.

DOES THIS FEEL FAMILIAR?
You Understand What Is Happening, but You Still Cannot Switch It Off
Anxiety does not always respond to logic. You may know that a situation is safe, that a thought is irrational or that you are overthinking, yet your mind and body continue to react automatically.

01
Anxiety Takes Over
Your mind races, you anticipate the worst or find it difficult to relax, even when nothing is obviously wrong.
02
You Avoid or Overprepare
You put things off, seek reassurance or carefully manage situations to prevent anxiety from taking control.
03
The Same Reactions Return
You may understand where the problem began and have tried coping strategies, but the automatic response keeps returning.
These reactions are not a failure of willpower. They are learned automatic responses, and that is where BWRT® focuses its work.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
Working With the Response, Not Just the Thought
You may already understand why you feel anxious or recognise that your reaction is out of proportion. The difficulty is that the response can begin before conscious thought has time to intervene.
BWRT® is a structured psychological process that works with these automatic response patterns. You remain fully conscious and in control, and you do not need to describe painful experiences in extensive detail.
Sessions are tailored to what you are experiencing and what you would like to change.

Mimi W
Coach & Writer
The BWRT therapy has been very helpful for me and Kim is really good at her job; She takes the time to properly listen and understand you fully and what your needs and goals are with the therapy. From the first session to the last she was very comforting and easy to talk to about any issue. Would highly recommend Kim’s BWRT therapy.
