ANXIETY

Anxiety is a common feeling that most people experience at some stage. It is a normal emotional response to many stressful or threatening situations. Unfortunately, anxious feelings can also produce many unwanted bodily sensations like a tight chest, racing heart, sweating, tension and panic attacks. This results in us trying desperately to avoid any situation that will trigger these physiological responses. Eventually we start worrying about the worry itself…..

If left untreated, anxiety may cause difficulties in other areas of our lives, our relationships, our work, general mood levels and can lead to panic attacks. Psychotherapy and Counselling can help you learn how to manage your anxiety on a daily basis while also exploring the root causes and the factors that contribute to our anxiety problems.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other forms of therapy can be instrumental in helping you to manage, explore and reduce anxiety levels.
