You understand the pattern. So why does it keep repeating?

You know what triggers your anxiety, panic or IBS. You’ve tried to think your way through it. You want to feel calmer, more in control and get back to living your life.

Understanding is one thing. Changing is another.

You may already know why you feel anxious, overthink or fall into the same emotional patterns.

Perhaps you’ve even tried therapy before but you still find yourself reacting in ways that you can’t seem to change.

Maybe you're exhausted from ‘acting fine’ while feeling anything but. Maybe the past keeps hijacking your present.

You want to stop replaying conversations and to wake up without that familiar dread. You want to feel more at ease in your relationships, your work, your life without the inner critic telling you something's wrong or you are not good enough.

My approach is different.

Rather than focusing solely on understanding why these patterns developed, we work directly with the emotional responses that keep you stuck, helping you feel calmer, more confident and more in control.

The aim is lasting change in how you feel, think and respond, giving you greater choice in how you live your life.

I’m Nicola Cranie, the therapist behind Still Mind Therapies.

With more than 25 years’ experience across mental health, neuropsychology and brain injury care management, I understand how complex people’s lives can be and how much more there is to someone than the difficulties they face.

I bring warmth, curiosity and a refreshing down to earth approach to therapy. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy. I take an active, collaborative approach, bringing my experience and expertise to the work we do

It's focused, effective work. My goal isn't to keep you in therapy. It's to help you resolve what's keeping you stuck so you don't need me anymore.

Clients describe the work as precise, effective and surprisingly fast. Real change doesn't have to take years.
