What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal response to threatening situations. However excessive anxiety can produce unpleasant physical and emotional problems such as heart palpitations, tension, panic attacks, ill health, insomnia, anticipating the worst and avoidance-behaviour. If left untreated, anxiety can cause wider difficulties in relationships, at work, and in general mood levels.
What is Anxiety Management Counselling?
When dealing with your anxiety our focus would be to address the root cause of your anxiety and work on ways of managing it. I help you to explore the causes of stress, including those created by work, family, and past experiences. It may be important for us to understand what you are doing to maintain high anxiety levels – for example some behaviours serve to exacerbate anxiety. I will work with you to develop stress-reduction techniques and to promote psychologically healthier patterns of living.
