Understand What's Causing Your Anxiety And Start Changing It.

You Don't Need More Ways to Cope With Anxiety. You Need to Understand Why It's There.

From the outside, it might look as if you're coping. Inside, your mind never stops.

I help you change the underlying patterns behind y0ur anxiety - rather than simply managing the symptoms.

Does this sound familiar?

You replay conversations, overthink decisions, worry about the future and feel constantly on edge. You've lost confidence in yourself, struggle to switch off and feel as though anxiety is defining your life.

Maybe you've tried breathing exercises, mindfulness, counselling or medication. They may have helped for a while, but you've found yourself falling back into the same thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

If that sounds familiar, It's because I know— I’ve been there myself.

Why can’t you switch your mind off or stop overthinking?

Because there's often more going on than the anxious thoughts themselves.

Your mind and nervous system may have learned to respond to experiences that taught you the world wasn't always safe or predictable.

You have learned to stay alert, keep everyone happy, avoid getting things wrong, second guess yourself or constantly look for reassurance.

These patterns become so familiar that you don't realise they're there.

Why Does Your Anxiety Keeps Coming Back?

Without diminishing what you've been through, I want you to know that the problem isn't what happened in your past—you've already survived that.

The problem is the beliefs your past left you with about who you are, what you're worth, and how safe the world feels.

Those beliefs can continue to influence how you think, feel and behave long after the original experiences have passed. Recognising them is the first step towards understanding why you feel and respond the way you do — and what you can change.

A Little About Me

I'm Christine Maragkakis, a Trauma Certified Anxiety Coach based in Essex, supporting people both online and in person.

For more than 25 years, I've supported people with anxiety, overwhelm and low confidence. I'm an EMCC Accredited Senior Practitioner, and I use a range of approaches, tailored to the individual needs of each client.

My approach goes beyond coping strategies to help you understand what's contributing to your anxiety and change the patterns keeping it going.

How I Can Help

Freedom From Anxiety - A Personalised Six session programme

Freedom from Anxiety programme is a focused six - session programme designed to help you understand what's triggering your anxiety and change the patterns affecting your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

We'll explore how your experiences, beliefs and responses may be contributing to your anxiety, work on calming your nervous system and practise new ways of responding.

The six sessions give us enough time to identify what's feeding the anxiety, work with the patterns that are keeping it going and practise responding differently, so you can start putting what you've learned into everyday life.

Rather than endlessly analysing the past, we'll focus on how your experiences may still be affecting you today and what you can change to move forward

Over our six sessions, we'll work together to:

• Understand what's contributing to your anxiety.

• Identify the beliefs and behaviours that are holding you back.

• Calm your nervous system and create space to work.

• Build self-trust and confidence.

• Practise responding differently to anxious thoughts and emotions.

• Feel more secure, more capable and more like yourself again.

What's included:

✔ Six personalised 1:1 sessions
Delivered online or in person, with each session tailored to your needs and progress.

✔ Personalised strategies and tools.

Practical techniques chosen to suit your individual circumstances and the challenges you're working on.

✔ Resources to support you between sessions

Practical tools and handouts to help you put what we're working on into practice in your everyday life.

✔ Ongoing WhatsApp support

You'll have access to me between sessions for support, guidance and accountability. If something comes up, you have somewhere to turn for help putting what we're working on into practice.

✔ A range of evidence-based approaches

Depending on your needs, I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), clinical hypnotherapy and trauma-certified coaching.

This isn't endless therapy.

I don't believe you should need to work with me indefinitely.

The Freedom from Anxiety Programme is a focused six-session programme designed to help you understand your anxiety, develop new ways of responding and build the confidence to use what you've learned in everyday life.

The goal is for you to feel increasingly capable of handling life's challenges for yourself.

Why work with me?

Your experiences, triggers and patterns are unique to you. I won't follow a standard formula. We'll choose approaches according to your needs and what you're working through.

I take an holistic approach because anxiety can affect much more than your thoughts. It can influence your body, emotions, relationships and everyday life.

Where appropriate, I'll also draw on complementary approaches to support your wellbeing.

With me, You'll find a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly without judgement and feel understood, while we work together on what you need help with.

What My Clients Say

Imagine.....

Waking up without that awful knot in your stomach.

Making decisions without second guessing yourself.

Being yourself without worrying so much about what everyone thinks.

Feeling calmer, sleeping better and trusting yourself more.

Anxiety may still show up from time to time, but it doesn't have to dictate your choices or stop you doing the things that matter to you.
