Anxiety Counselling in Hagley
I specialise in offering Clinical Psychology services to children, teens and families. Are you a concerned parent? Do you recognise any of these challenges in your child? Persistent worry and preoccupation, a noticeable shift from their usual joyful self, a reluctance to engage in activities they once enjoyed, frequent excuses overshadowing enthusiasm, puzzling changes in their behaviour, heightened sensitivity and emotional reactions. If you're struggling to find effective ways to help, if your well-intentioned efforts, such as talking to them, providing reassurance or encouragement, seem to lead to dead ends, I'm here to assist.

I know first hand what it feels like to have your life ruled by anxiety and people pleasing tendencies.
Sometimes life can be really difficult. Are you feeling totally overwhelmed with anxiety? Do you feel like you're stuck in a black hole and can't find a way out? Perhaps something has happened in your life which feels too difficult to manage on your own... relationship troubles, family breakdowns, the death of a loved one... you might not be able to put your finger on what is causing you to feel this way. Maybe speaking to someone totally independent of the situation would help?

Life can be complicated and throw us some curve balls that are hard to navigate. Some choices we have to make are difficult and overwhelming; causing anxiety, exhaustion and feelings we are unsure how to handle. Everyone is different in how they deal with life, even though we may have experienced the same things such as the death of a family member, we all react differently. Friends and family sometimes think they have the answers, offering advice and having opinions based on their own experiences. Sometimes it's having an ear that won't judge, interrupt or tell you what to do.

Do you feel that there is something standing in the way of achieving the happiness you deserve? Feeling anxious and depressed without obvious cause? I can help you heal the cause of the disturbance, invariably rooted in your past.
Maybe you had a difficult childhood, suffered neglect, abuse, bullying. Perhaps life became challenging later on. Trauma is a subjective experience, if something upset you at any point then you may be still living with the impact of the trauma. There may be multiple traumatic events in your life which you have been unable to process. Subsequent traumatic events will add to your distress. Untreated trauma inevitably manifests itself as anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. If you would like to make sense of your life and repair the damage caused by your past then EMDR provides the most humane & effective treatment.

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
