Hi, Im Lee Bladon, The Anxiety Coach.
I help anxious people to become free from chronic anxiety by mapping their unique anxiety pattern, and healing the underlying root cause.
Anxiety is rarely about what we think it's about. There's almost always an underlying (often subconscious) root cause.
Successful anxiety treatment requires a thorough understanding of how your specific anxiety pattern plays out, what the underlying (subconscious) root cause is, and how to eliminate that subconscious threat. Then everything changes!
You've tried managing your anxiety. Deep breathing. Meditation apps. Positive thinking. CBT techniques. They might help in the moment, but the anxiety always comes back.
What if your anxiety isn't something to manage, but something to understand and heal?
I can help you to move beyond symptom management to genuine, lasting freedom from anxiety by addressing what traditional therapy often misses: the unique pattern of your anxiety and the childhood root cause that created it.
Most anxiety treatment focuses on managing symptoms - calming yourself down when anxiety strikes, challenging your anxious thoughts, or learning coping techniques.
These approaches can provide temporary relief, but they don't address why your nervous system became anxious in the first place.
Chronic anxiety isn't random. It has a specific origin, usually in early childhood, when your nervous system learned to be hypervigilant, hyperaroused or constantly scanning for threat. Something in your early experience taught your system that the world isn't safe - and that pattern has been running ever since.
Until you understand and heal the root cause, you're just managing symptoms instead of resolving the problem.

My approach is built on two foundations that create lasting transformation:
Your anxiety is completely unique to you. It has its own signature—specific triggers, particular physical sensations, characteristic thought patterns, and distinct ways of showing up in your life.
Most approaches treat all anxiety the same. But understanding exactly how anxiety manifests in your system is transformative in itself.
When you clearly see your anxiety's pattern, something shifts:
You stop being blindsided by it
You recognise it arising before it takes over
You develop genuine agency rather than feeling at its mercy
The anxiety loses its mysterious power over you
Conscious awareness itself brings relief. When you understand your anxiety intimately—where it lives in your body, what triggers it, how it moves through you—you're no longer fighting an invisible enemy. You're relating to a pattern you can clearly see and work with.
Here's what most people don't realise: chronic anxiety isn't really about the things you think you're anxious about. Your anxious nervous system developed in childhood as a creative adaptation to circumstances that felt overwhelming, unsafe, or unpredictable. Perhaps:
Your emotional needs weren't consistently met.
You experienced criticism, rejection or emotional volatility.
You had to be hypervigilant to feel safe.
You learned that making mistakes meant losing love or approval.
Your authentic self wasn't welcomed or accepted.
Your anxiety is your nervous system still running that old childhood programme - still trying to keep you safe in a world it learned was threatening. Healing anxiety at its root means:
Identifying the specific childhood experiences that dysregulated your nervous system.
Understanding how those experiences created your particular anxiety pattern.
Providing the safety, validation and healing those wounded parts of you never received.
Helping your nervous system learn that it's safe to relax now.
This isn't about blaming your parents or dwelling on the past. It's about understanding the origin of your anxiety so you can finally resolve it.
My unique approach to anxiety treatment is effective for most anxiety patterns:
Generalised Anxiety – That pervasive sense of unease reflecting a fundamental disconnect from feeling safe and grounded in yourself.
Relationship Anxiety – Fear of abandonment or engulfment rooted in early attachment wounds where love felt conditional or unsafe.
Social Anxiety – Acute self-consciousness stemming from childhood experiences where your authentic self wasn't welcomed or accepted.
Health Anxiety – Hypervigilance toward bodily sensations, often masking deeper fears about safety, control, or unprocessed trauma held in the body.
Panic Disorder – Intense fear of panic itself, where your nervous system has become sensitised and fires in response to its own activation.
Performance Anxiety – Fear of exposure as inadequate, tied to perfectionism and the belief that your worth depends on flawless performance.
Imposter Syndrome – Persistent belief you're fraudulent despite competence, reflecting a split between achievement and inner unworthiness from conditional love.
OCD – Attempts to create certainty through rituals, often developing when early life felt unpredictable, leaving parts trying to control inner uncertainty.
