Relationship Anxiety Therapy in Falmouth
Support for Overthinking, Fear of Rejection, and Breakup Anxiety
Book a ConsultationRelationships can bring connection, comfort, and meaning. But they can also create worry, uncertainty and emotional pain. Relationship anxiety affects people in many different ways. You might fear being left, feel unsure about your partner's feelings, question your own worth or struggle with overthinking during or after a breakup.
If you're experiencing any of these, therapy offers a safe, grounded space to explore your emotions and understand what's driving them. Based in Falmouth and supporting clients across Cornwall, I offer therapy for individuals navigating relationship anxiety, heartbreak, conflict or insecurity.
What Is Relationship Anxiety?
Relationship anxiety is not limited to romantic situations. It can also affect:
Dating
Long-term relationships
Breakups
Situationships
Friendships
Attachment patterns
People experiencing relationship anxiety often describe:
Overthinking messages and interactions
Fear of being a burden
Difficulty trusting reassurance
Imagining worst-case outcomes
Panic during conflict or distance
Emotional highs and lows
Fear of abandonment or rejection
These reactions can feel overwhelming, especially when you care deeply about someone.
Breakup Anxiety
Breakups can activate intense emotional responses, even when the relationship wasn't right or the ending was mutual. Many people experience:
Intrusive thoughts
Regret or second-guessing
A sense of loss or identity confusion
Difficulty sleeping or eating
The urge to reach out for reassurance
Fear of the future
Therapy helps stabilise the emotional impact and rebuild your sense of self.
How Therapy Helps with Relationship Anxiety
Therapy provides a confidential environment to understand yourself and your relationships more clearly. Our work may include:
1. Understanding Your Attachment Patterns
Your early experiences often shape how you connect, trust, and cope in relationships. Bringing awareness to your history helps reduce confusion and self-blame.
2. Reducing Overthinking and Fear-Based Responses
Relationship anxiety often involves loops of over-analysis. Therapy helps you slow this pattern and build more grounded emotional responses.
3. Rebuilding Confidence and Self-Worth
Anxiety can make you question your value. Therapy helps reconnect you with your strengths, needs and boundaries.
4. Processing Heartbreak or Uncertainty
If you're going through a breakup, therapy offers a space to grieve, reflect and find stability again.
5. Improving Emotional Regulation
We explore practical tools for managing strong emotions during conflict, distance or change.
