Welcome to Anxiety Master: Start here
Most people arrive here because they want to feel less at the mercy of their nervous system. A confusing relationship, an uncertain situation, or a life transition brings hidden tensions to the surface. When this happens, the mind and body tighten and start scanning for threats. If that tension doesn’t resolve, anxiety begins to rise. Not as drama, but as a pervasive background pressure; a low-level unease that pulls you off-centre.
Anxiety Master offers a clear, experienced view of these patterns, making them easier to understand and navigate.
My aim is simple: to help you decipher your experience, steady your internal world, and make decisions that align with your values.
Anxiety Master is a space for people who want clarity rather than slogans and depth rather than self-help performance. For those who prefer calm, grounded thinking in a world of polarised noise and misdirection. Anxiety Master is a psychological and emotional resource for people who want to understand themselves with greater wisdom and self-respect.
Much of what I write is shaped by a simple observation. We not only perceive with our minds. We first sense and register experience in the body. Emotions precede thinking. How we think is usually a signal of what we feel. When the system is unsettled, perspective narrows; when it settles, options broaden. My work follows this compass: to help you recognise your internal state, steady yourself and restore enough capacity for your best judgement to return.
What you will find on this website
Each piece is written to slow your internal pace and give you enough distance to see your situation more clearly.
The core themes are:
Relationships: How to recognise instability, understand emotional patterns and navigate endings or precarious outcomes without losing yourself.
Anxiety and Emotional Life: How to read your internal cues, reduce spiralling and build the capacity to tolerate uncertainty without collapsing into it.
Identity and Agency: How to act from your values rather than fear, recover steadiness after setbacks and relate to yourself as a valuable adult rather than an older story.
Each piece stands alone, but together they offer a coherent way to orient yourself when life becomes unsettled.
