Coping with Anxiety

&

Reclaiming Your Inner Strength

Do you experience Anxiety? My name is David Pender. This is my intro video explaining how I can help you begin coping with anxiety in your journey to anxiety recovery.

Are You Ready to Overcome What’s Holding You Back?

Do you feel like you're facing emotional roadblocks that seem impossible to move past?

Are unresolved conflicts, anxiety, or self-doubt keeping you from experiencing peace of mind and closure?

You're not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck.

Whether you're struggling with generalised anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, healing begins with one powerful question:

How would you know if your problems were solved?

This question lies at the heart of solution-focused therapy. It invites you to envision your life beyond the struggle to imagine what confidence, clarity, and emotional freedom would look like for you.

What If You Could Feel Secure

Expressing Your True Self?

Many people avoid conflict to maintain harmony, but this often leads to anxiety, low self-worth, and emotional suppression. Facing these challenges head-on, with support, can lead to:

  • ✅ Greater emotional resilience

  • ✅ Increased self-confidence

  • ✅ A renewed sense of hope and purpose

Motivational interviewing helps you explore your ambivalence and clarify your values. It’s not about pushing you—it’s about empowering you to make choices that align with your authentic self.

Embrace Vulnerability, Discover Strength

Being truthful with yourself is the first step toward lasting change. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches that vulnerability is not weakness, it’s a gateway to:

  • 🌿 Emotional regulation

  • 🌿 Mindfulness and presence

  • 🌿 Radical self-acceptance

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) complements this by helping you reframe negative thought patterns and build practical coping strategies.

Find Your Voice, Define Your Purpose

Do you feel like you’ve been conforming to expectations that don’t reflect who you truly are? It’s time to break free and rediscover your voice.

Through positive psychology, we’ll explore your strengths, values, and aspirations. You’ll learn to:

  • 🌈 Set healthy boundaries

  • 🌈 Forgive yourself for past decisions

  • 🌈 Cultivate assertiveness and self-worth

Life is a book filled with chapters of sorrow and joy. Turning the page requires courage, but it also opens the door to new beginnings.

Imagine acquiring the tools to shape your next chapter with intention and confidence. What would that mean for you?
