Take control of your Anxiety.

6 week therapist-led workshop in Cheadle, Staffordshire (ST10)

• You’re tired of feeling on edge.
• Tired of overthinking everything
• Tired of holding it together while your mind won’t switch off.

You might look capable on the outside, but inside you feel constantly on high alert. Stuck in loops of worry. Exhausted from pushing through. Disconnected from yourself. Frustrated that nothing seems to truly help.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Anxiety isn’t weakness. It’s a nervous system that has learned to protect you. But right now, it may be running the show.

This workshop is about taking that control back.

Not with surface-level tips.
Not with “just breathe” advice.
But by understanding what’s really happening in your brain and body and learning how to respond differently.

Anxiety is personal. That’s why your understanding of it needs to be personal too.

This is a therapist-led, small group experience that blends psychology, self-awareness and practical tools. You’ll learn how your anxiety works, what triggers it, and how to build a personalised toolkit that actually fits you.

This is about understanding your mind, regulating your nervous system, breaking overthinking loops, rebuilding self-trust and becoming more than your anxiety.

You are not here to be fixed.
You are here to learn how to lead yourself.

Who this workshop is for

This workshop is for you if you:

• Feel anxious, overwhelmed or constantly on edge
• Overthink and struggle to switch off
• Push yourself through burnout
• Feel socially anxious or avoid things you once enjoyed
• Experience racing or intrusive thoughts
• Want more than surface-level coping tips
• Are curious about how your mind and body actually work
• Are ready to understand yourself more deeply and lead yourself differently

This is for anyone who is tired of anxiety running the show and wants a smarter, kinder, more empowering way forward.

What you’ll gain

By the end of the 6 weeks, you can expect:

• A deeper understanding of how your anxiety works
• Insight into what’s happening in your brain and nervous system
• Clarity around your personal triggers and patterns
• Tools to manage overthinking and mental loops
• Practical CBT and DBT strategies you can use in real life
• Stronger emotional regulation
• Increased confidence and self-trust
• Better sleep and self-care habits
• A personalised anxiety toolkit that actually fits you

This isn’t about “getting rid” of anxiety. It’s about no longer being controlled by it.

About me

I’m Geri Carey, an integrative psychotherapist and coach, qualified at Masters level in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Keele University.

I’ve spent several years supporting hundreds of people in both short and long-term therapy, with a primary focus on anxiety. My work spans private practice, corporate wellbeing and complex mental health settings, including addiction services and government-funded programmes supporting long-term unemployment.

I also know anxiety personally. I understand how exhausting it is to live in your head, searching for calm and clarity.

My style is warm, insightful and practical. I blend psychology with real-life tools to help people understand themselves and lead their inner world differently.

This workshop is not therapy, but it is deeply therapeutic in effect.
