You might feel constantly on edge.
Or completely exhausted and numb.
Your thoughts don’t stop.
Your body feels tight, restless, or heavy.
You try to cope, but the same patterns return.
Anxiety. Overthinking. Avoidance. Emotional shutdown.
These reactions are not character flaws.
They are often survival responses shaped by past experiences.
When your nervous system has learned to stay in fight, flight, or freeze, it can feel impossible to simply “calm down” or “think positively.”
This is where our work begins.
Who I Work Best With
I work especially well with:
- International students and young professionals adapting to life in a new country
- Individuals who grew up in emotionally unpredictable or high-pressure environments
- People who feel stuck in anxiety cycles or chronic stress
- Those who want to understand their trauma responses rather than fight them
If you want therapy that is collaborative, practical, and grounded in science, we may be a good fit.
I specialise in helping people understand and regulate their nervous system so they can move from survival mode into stability and clarity.
In our sessions, we will:
- Understand how your stress responses developed
- Identify triggers that activate anxiety or shutdown
- Work with both thoughts and body responses
- Build practical skills to regulate overwhelm
- Strengthen psychological flexibility and resilience
My approach combines:
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Trauma-informed principles
- Elements from Schema Therapy
This means our work is structured, practical, and focused on long-term change, not just temporary relief.
My clinical experience includes:
- Supporting international students navigating life transitions
- Supervised placements in hospital and clinical settings
- Parental counselling within social services

"Before working with Raul, my anxiety felt physical and constant. I was always tense and overthinking. In therapy, I learned to understand what my body was doing and how to respond differently. I feel more grounded and less controlled by stress."
