Anxiety recovery
Anxiety is a natural and normal human response to stress or perceived threats. More specifically, it’s a complex emotional state characterised by feelings of worry, fear, unease, or apprehension. Whilst it’s common for individuals to experience occasional anxiety, perhaps before a presentation or during a major life event, anxiety becomes a concern when it is excessive, persistent and interferes with daily functioning.
Symptoms
Our approach
Developing coping mechanisms:
Clients will learn various coping techniques and skills to manage anxiety symptoms effectively. Learning and practicing these strategies can help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm and control.
Psychoeducation:
Clients will learn about anxiety disorders, the underlying causes and the neurobiological processes involved. This knowledge helps with understanding the condition and fosters a sense of empowerment.
Understanding the root causes:
We help clients identify past experiences, traumas, thought patterns, or beliefs that may be fuelling or exacerbating anxiety.
