Anxiety therapy online – so anxiety stops running your life

Anxiety is not a flaw in who you are. It's a signal – often a very loyal, very outdated one.

Anxiety has a way of taking up more and more space – until you're organising your life around it. In therapy, we listen to it together, so it can finally quiet down. I'm Laura, a psychologist and Gestalt therapist, and I work online, in English, with clients around the world – including many expats and internationals.

My approach: Gestalt therapy – not a protocol, a meeting

A lot of anxiety treatment follows a manual. My way of working is different. As a Gestalt therapist, I don't treat you as a diagnosis to be corrected – we work with what is actually here, now, in you:

Curiosity instead of combat. Fighting anxiety usually feeds it. Instead, we get to know it: What exactly is it guarding? When did it first learn that the world isn't safe? Anxiety often turns out to be an old protector that never got the memo that you've grown.

The body first. Anxiety is deeply physical – so we don't stay in your head. We notice where it lives in your body, give it room, let it move. The body only exists in the present moment, and the present moment is the one place anxiety's "what ifs" can't reach.

New experiences, at your pace. In the safety of the therapeutic relationship you get to try what avoidance never allowed: staying, feeling, speaking up – and discovering you survive it. That lived experience, not willpower, is what loosens anxiety's grip.

I won't promise you a life with zero anxiety – nobody honestly can. What my clients typically find is that anxiety gets quieter, more understandable, and stops making their decisions for them.

Social anxiety, constant worry and panic

Anxiety wears different faces. The constant worrier runs disaster rehearsals about health, work, money, the people you love – solving one worry just frees up space for the next. Social anxiety fears being seen and judged, so you avoid the dinner, the call, the opportunity – and the loneliness that follows feeds the anxiety further. And sometimes anxiety speaks through the body first: tense shoulders, restless sleep, stomach knots, a heart that races out of nowhere – sometimes escalating into panic attacks.

You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support. If anxiety is shrinking your life, that's reason enough.

Anxiety therapy for expats – wherever you live

Living abroad multiplies the triggers: a new language, paperwork, no safety net of family and old friends nearby. What used to be manageable at home suddenly isn't. If you're an international, you don't have to explain this to me – I live it too. More about my work with internationals: therapy for expats.

Sessions happen via secure video, in English – or German or Polish; we can even switch mid-session if a feeling finds its name in another language. Wherever you live, across time zones: no waiting lists, no commute, your own safe space.

Signs anxiety is taking too much space

Therapy does not replace medical or psychiatric treatment. Persistent physical symptoms deserve a medical check-up. In an acute crisis, call your local emergency number (112 in the EU).

What a client shared

“I was looking for someone to guide me. Over the course of our sessions, I developed a deeper understanding of my emotions and a stronger connection with myself. She immediately created a safe and comfortable space where I felt heard and supported. Even through online therapy, her fine sense for the minor details in my words and gestures was gently guiding me along a rewarding path of self-discovery. Together, we uncovered insights that had been hidden in my subconscious. I came away with a much greater sense of self-awareness, a clearer understanding of both my healthy and unhelpful patterns, and a far stronger sense of inner security.”
