Physical and Emotional
Affects of Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming.  It affects us physically and emotionally and in comparison to a physical disability it is as extreme as a severe spinal injury.

Severe anxiety can feel like you have no memory, no processing power to access rational thoughts.  It can feel very scary and all consuming.

Counselling and Therapy can help to cope with difficult feelings and emotions and learn how to calm and self soothe.

Anxiety Counselling, Psychotherapy and CBT


Feeling panicky, anxious or tense?

When faced with stressful or dangerous situations we all have a natural fight, flight or freeze response, which provoke feelings of anxiety fear or panic.Usually, we are able to cope with these feelings as a normal response to threat and they quickly disappear, once the situation has passed. However, some people experience these anxious feelings on a regular basis, without a particular situation to link them to, which can be very frightening and cause significant distress and lead to feelings of powerlessness and lack of control.The consequences of anxiety can be far reaching, effecting relationships, being able to work or even facing the world can be too overwhelming. Physical symptoms can include panicky feelings, tension, sweating and fluctuating moods.If this all sounds familiar, then seeking anxiety counselling maybe the right solution for you.
