Anxiety

When we feel anxious it can be overwhelming and debilitating. It can become very hard to see clearly and can stop us in our tracks, from living our lives as we had before or as we have the potential to. Counselling can help to pinpoint some of the triggers that are causing the anxiety and we can work with techniques such as Gestalt two chair work and strategies such as mindfulness to begin to manage the anxiety.

It can also be a difficult thing to understand as there may be a specific known trigger (such as claustrophobia), but anxiety can also seem to occur for no clear reasons.

A therapeutic counselling relationship can allow you to discover and explore potential triggers for your anxiety. Even discovering what the triggers may be, and where they may have come from, can go a long way to easing symptoms. While also providing opportunity to start to find ways to manage anxiety better in a way that works for you.
