I can help with anxiety and anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder, phobias, generalised anxiety disorder, health anxiety and panic disorder.  

 

Anxiety is a natural human response which helps us to discern threatening situations and deal with them accordingly through our fight, flight or freeze mechanism. However, this mechanism can at times become hypersensitive and start sending warning signals to the brain even when there is no danger or apparent reason for concern. If this persists over time, an anxiety disorder might develop. 

Since each individual experiences an anxiety disorder differently, symptoms vary from person to person. Symptoms also vary depending on the type of anxiety disorder, but some common symptoms include:

​

• persistent feelings of worry, fear or apprehension

• avoiding things that cause anxiety

• having racing thoughts 

• feeling like something terrible is going to happen

• seeking reassurance from others

• worrying about being judged and evaluated negatively

• feeling agitated, restless or on edge

• sleep disruptions or insomnia

• having panic attacks

• fear of losing control, going crazy or insane
