About me 

My name’s Elliot and I’m a cognitive behavioural therapist.

I experienced my first panic attack at 14. Determined that something was physically wrong with me, I had MRIs, CT scans — the full 9 yards.

Only years later did I realise that I was experiencing anxiety. I was amazed that something ‘in my head’ could have such a physical effect on me.

After seeing several doctors and counsellors, I felt deflated and disappointed. I wasn’t ‘worried’ about anything: I just couldn’t shake this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I became withdrawn, didn’t go out or do much, lost my appetite, and under-performed in every area of my life.

I became obsessed with figuring out why I was like this. I read books, listened to experts and experimented: with my daily routine, sleep, diet — you name it, I’ve probably tried it.

While I didn’t ‘cure’ my anxiety (spoiler — that probably won’t happen), I learned to control it.

I became a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist to help others learn how to control their demons: whether that’s anxiety, depression, OCD, or more.
