About Lesley Shearer

Hello, my name is Lesley Shearer, and I specialise in anxiety disorders. Over the past 20 years, I have helped thousands of people manage panic attacks and anxiety.

The purpose of starting this blog, and developing future materials and courses, is to provide you with the same information you would receive if you came to me in person. With these resources, you will have the freedom to use them from the comfort of your own home and at your own pace.

The Quick Fix for Anxiety or Panic Attacks

Imagine you are scheduled to see me in person, but on that day, you experience a panic attack or overwhelming anxiety. In that state, you might struggle to retain much from the session and may not fully benefit. This is where the online version of my course could be a better fit for you.

I’ve created a course, blog posts, and downloadable PDFs that cover the same material we would discuss in a one-on-one session. The key advantage of this online course is that it allows us to work together at a time and place that works best for you.

The Quick Fix Samplers

Anxiety often thrives in cycles, feeding off repetitive thoughts and patterns that can feel impossible to break. These samplers dives into the subtle yet powerful forces behind anxiety, such as the Drift—moments when your thoughts spiral into worst-case scenarios—and Faulty Thinking Styles like catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, and overgeneralization. By identifying these patterns, you can interrupt the cycle and regain control.

The Three Brains and Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but understanding how our three brains—Instinctive, Emotional, and Thinking—work together can help us regain control. Each brain plays a crucial role in how we experience and respond to anxiety. By mastering how these brains operate, you can learn to manage your anxiety more effectively.

Through my MCN model, which combines Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Neuroscience, I’ll guide you through practical strategies to address anxiety at its root.
