Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm don’t have to run your life. These feelings aren’t just “normal” or something to put up with - they’re signals from your mind and body that it’s time for change.
Mind and body are deeply connected. Anxiety and stress doesn’t only affect your thoughts and emotions; it can manifest physically as fatigue, pain, sleep problems, IBS or even weight gain.
As a Certified Health Coach and experienced BWRT® Therapist, I specialise in helping women break free from the mental and physical toll of anxiety and stress and reconnect with themselves to find calm, confidence, and control.
BWRT®, is a fast, gentle therapy that works with your brain's automatic responses and many clients experience transformative results in just 2 - 3 sessions.
During your initial consultation, we’ll:
Please book a free 15-minute call with me so I can ensure this consultation is right for you.
✅ You feel like anxiety and stress are running your
life and stopping you from feeling truly happy.
✅ You're stuck in a cycle of overthinking and
"what ifs" that leaves you feeling trapped.
✅ You feel drained, as though your mind and body
are constantly on high alert.
✅ You want a real, lasting way to ease your anxiety.
✅ You long for peace of mind,
without anxiety and self-judgement ruling your every move.
Imagine instead...
Waking up without that familiar knot of worry in your stomach,
facing the day feeling calm, and enjoying life's moments fully,
without overthinking every one of them.
If you recognised yourself in any of these, I can help using BWRT®,
a fast, gentle therapy that works with your brain's automatic responses,
so you can feel calm, confident and back in control.
Anxiety doesn't only affect your thoughts. For many women it shows up physically as fatigue, poor sleep, a racing heart, headaches, gut problems like IBS, or weight that won't shift.
That's why I work with both. As a BWRT® therapist and certified health coach, I don't just help calm your mind; I look at how stress is affecting your energy, sleep, digestion and hormones, and give you practical ways to support your body as your mind settles.
It's also why anxiety can appear or get worse in perimenopause and menopause, even if you've never been an anxious person before.

When your mind jumps straight to the worst case, and your body reacts as if it's already happening.
Worrying about what everyone else is thinking about you, replaying conversations and second-guessing yourself long after they've ended.
For when happy memories are clouded with pain, and the loss still feels raw, however much time has passed.
Helping your nervous system feel safe again, without having to relive every detail.
For the fears that make you avoid places, situations or things.
Sudden anxiety, dread or low confidence that arrives with hormonal change
Breaking the cycle of constantly fearing the worst and googling everytime something unexpected happens in your body.
When your reflection triggers a stream of criticism, and how you feel about your body stops you enjoying life.
Letting go of "I'm not good enough" and building a quiet, steady belief in yourself.
BWRT® (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy) works with your brain's "automatic pilot": the split second where an anxious reaction is triggered before you've even had a conscious thought. Together we work on that pattern so your brain learns a calmer response.
You don't have to talk through your past. BWRT doesn't rely on retelling painful experiences in detail, and you can keep private things private. Many women who have tried talking therapies without success find this a relief.
It's usually quicker than traditional therapy. Many clients notice a real change within a few sessions. We'll agree a plan together at your initial consultation, based on what you want to change.
"Decade’s of counselling got me nowhere.
One session of BWRT with you and a lifetime of dark clouds shifted, the light broke through and the sun is still shining!"
Sarah, Wimbourne
My diverse clients range from nurses, politicians, fitness instructors, teachers, politicians, psychologists, business owners and many retired women all seeking to become their best calm and healthy selves, for their family and their life goals.
"Anna was great I felt such a relief from PTSD in a really short time. I've been able to process my grief can now find myself again !"

"I' was struggling with self doubt after losing my job. Having one session of BWRT was like flicking a switch that turned off my negative feelings"

"Following childhood trauma, I have spent decades trying to find effective counseling. Talking (in my experience) changed nothing.
Being taken through BWRT changed everything"
I'm an Advanced Level 3 BWRT® Therapist, Certified Health Coach and founder of Nourished Thriving. I work only with women, helping them transform their emotional and physical health.
Alongside anxiety, I help women overcome feelings of failure or not being good enough, recover from trauma, and heal their relationship with food.
As a health coach, I also help women improve their physical health: getting their energy back, easing digestive problems like bloating and IBS, supporting their hormones through perimenopause and menopause, and feeling strong and comfortable in their bodies.
Where it's helpful, I use comprehensive blood testing to see what's going on beneath the surface, so the changes we make are right for you.
My work has been recognised by the Business Elite Awards 2025 and The UK Enterprise Awards.
I see clients at my therapy room in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and online across the UK.
In your consultation we'll:

BWRT doesn't rely on going over painful experiences in detail. You share only what you're comfortable sharing. I'll help you find a new feeling instead.
BWRT works with the brain's automatic responses rather than talking things through, which is why it often suits women who feel talking therapy hasn't worked for them. We can discuss whether it's right for you on your free call.
It depends on what you want to change. Many clients notice a difference within a few sessions. We'll agree a plan at your consultation.
Yes, I work with many women whose anxiety began or worsened in perimenopause or menopause. I combine BWRT with health coaching to support the physical side too.
Hormones may start menopause anxiety, but they're not always what keeps it going. What's really behind it, and what helps it ease sooner.
