Anxiety counselling may help if you experience:
- Constant worry or racing thoughts
- Panic attacks or sudden feelings of fear
- Physical symptoms such as tight chest or dizziness
- Difficulty sleeping due to anxious thoughts
- Workplace stress or social anxiety
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling. Many people attend therapy for anxiety to better understand themselves and prevent symptoms from becoming overwhelming.
How counselling can help with anxiety
- Understand anxiety triggers and patterns
- Develop coping and emotional regulation skills
- Reduce physical symptoms of anxiety
- Improve confidence and daily wellbeing
Therapists may use approaches such as CBT, integrative counselling, psychodynamic therapy, or mindfulness-based techniques, depending on your needs.
What happens in your first session
- Talk through what’s been happening for you
- Discuss what support you’re looking for
- Ask questions about counselling and next steps
There is no obligation to continue. Finding the right therapist matters.
