Anxiety
Feelings of anxiety can range from mild to severe where it affects our lives and the things we want to do.
​
When anxiety reaches a point where it is affecting a person's mood, general wellbeing, relationships or ability to function well in day to day life, thearapy is usually the way to go to recuce or eliminate these negative feelings.
​
In some cases, the anxiety a person feels can get focussed onto a thought (intrusive thoughts), object or situation (fear of a place) or behaviour (locking doors) in small ways or more significant ways that might produce an OCD.
​​
Types of Anxiety Issues can relate to include:
​
Relationship Anxiety
Social Anxiety
Anxiety at work
Anxiety when shopping
Anxiety when seeing other family members
Anxiety when Driving
General Anxiety apparently about nothing
Anxiety about a future forthcoming event
Anxiety about a past event or experience
​​​
Symptoms of anxiety can include, repetative thougts, rumination, an inability to concentrate, shakiness, loss of appitite, inability to return to work, loss of interest in things that were normally good for you, insomnia, early waking, nervous feelings or disposition and sometimes panic attacks.
​
Therapy works to untangle the process of the unwanted anxiety including stopping panic attacks aiming to for a calmer sense of wellbeing. In my practice this involves exploring the cause, thought tendancies, paying attention to neurological pathways and working with your whole personality, character and life experiences of which made you who you are today to support you to get trepidation back to the level where it belongs and is useful to you.

Of course stress can cause mental health difficulties but in many cases, people are managing so much and so well that it is often overlooked that actually, the person is not feeling very happy despite the feeling that they perhaps should be.
​
Other times people recognise that they are stressed and simply don't know what to do about it.
Counselling and Psychotherapy can help gain balance, reduce anxiety or low mood and increase coping skills.
