Therapy and Counselling for Anxiety

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried occasionally – it is a persistent and overwhelming sense of fear or worry that can interfere with daily life. While everyone experiences anxiety at times, those with anxiety disorders often find these feelings intense, excessive, and difficult to control. Anxiety can manifest in various forms, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias.

Signs and Symptoms

Anxiety can present differently in each person, but common symptoms include:

• Constant worry or fear that is difficult to control
• Restlessness or feeling on edge
• Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
• Difficulty concentrating 
• Irritability
• Muscle tension or physical aches
• Rapid heartbeat, sweating, or trembling
• Panic attacks
• Avoidance of situations that cause anxiety

If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, our experienced team can provide support.
