From stress and overthinking to clarity and action

I'm Anne Cheshire SEP®, MNIMH

I'm Anne Cheshire, SEP, MNIMH, here in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. I'm a Somatic Experiencing trauma therapist and also a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, and director of the Trauma Recovery Clinic. 

My expertise is in helping people overcome anxiety and self-doubt, and deal with inner conflict, so they can discover and create their purpose, make decisions which are absolutely right for them, and take action with deep confidence.  We all have one shot at this great life, and we need to know how to make the most of it.

My online self-access programmes, one-to-one masterclasses, and fully supported mastermind programme are all based on neuroscience and compassion.  I have been a trauma therapist since 2009, and I've worked with thousands of clients and patients in one-to-one therapy, seeing them go from anxious and antsy to calm and confident, discover purpose, make great decisions, and do what they want to do in life.  As a business strategist I have seen the same transformation take place in founders and CEOs.

I'm also a mum, a grandma, a linguist, and a medical herbalist, I've owned exercise studios (I still teach barre!), and I've been a secondary school teacher.  I have witnessed deep, and sometimes irrational anxiety, exhaustion, and stuckness everywhere I have been, within families and in corporate situations, and I know how hard it is to let go of that. 

What I have found is that it is not just about knowing rationally what to do, but about getting the unconscious brain to support our rational desires and decisions.  Sometimes our brain in its unconscious mode would rather play safe than make the right decision.

Here are some of the signs that your unconscious brain is trying to keep you safe, but is stopping you from feeling free to act.  You feel: 

• overwhelmed by events and circumstances
• anxious, not coping very well
• physical sensations of stress and overwhelm, like racing heart, tight chest, light-headedness, tingling, buzzing, shaking, emptiness, jerky legs, freeze, digestive problems, and many, many more symptoms
• unable to make any decisions
• unable to see what the right decision is
• unable to see purpose or direction
• disconnected with who you are
• stuck with no way out
• frightened of change
• envious of other people who seem to be so happy in life, and just do what they want without anxiety

If this resonates with you, I can help you.  Rooted in clinical experience in my field of expertise (trauma therapy, Somatic Experiencing®,  and neuroscience-based therapy) my work helps anyone with an unconscious part of the brain (that's you and me!) gain calm, confidence, purpose and motivation, so they can make great life and business decisions and be empowered to take action.  I've been on that journey myself, and I'm here to be with you on your's.
