Anxiety can be triggered by recent or past events

​

Many events in life can cause stress and if stress continues this can lead to anxiety

​

Difficult moments in your life such as relationship break ups, divorce, births, deaths, work stress can all lead to anxiety

​

You may have always had anxiety, maybe due to the environment you grew up in or experiences from your childhood. 

​

Anxiety is a necessary emotion it helps protect you from threat or danger, but these life experiences can contribute to your anxiety becoming over sensitive.

​

Anxiety can be a very difficult emotion to cope with due to the many physical symptoms that accompany it and learning techniques to cope with these symptoms is also important to help reduce your anxiety.

​

How Can Counselling Help?

​

If your anxiety has become too overwhelming for you it can be helpful to find ways to manage your anxiety.

​

Being able to talk about your experiences that are causing you stress or anxiety can help, 

​

I provide a safe, confidential and relaxed space to help you discuss the things that are worrying you.

​

Being able to talk to someone who has no judgments or preconceived ideas about what is bothering you can be a great relief.

​

It is through talking about your problems and then formulating a plan tailored to your needs, that together we find ways to reduce your symptoms and manage your anxiety.

​

Ensuring you continue to manage your anxiety leading to a calmer life.
