Counselling for anxiety

People with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes.

​

Some anxiety responses are based on actual life experiences that were overwhelming to the point of a person not being able to cope and these are replayed in everyday life. Other times, clients may not be able to recall the point in time anxiety started but are aware that how they feel on a day to day basis impacts on their enjoyment of life.

​

Anxiety is debilitating, fearing the future can stop all enjoyment of the present.

​

There are many causes of anxiety and most are individual to the person experiencing the anxious response. Humanistic counselling is an ideal foundation to start understanding the feelings evoked and discover the underlying causes of the anxiety; and from there work therapeutically to resolve the causes of the anxiety.

Using the latest neurobiological research I work with my clients to create a toolkit that can be used when they experience anxiety to help relieve the distressing and debilitating feelings.
