Anxiety and Stress

Anxiety is something that everyone experiences from time to time, however, there can be a point where anxiety is no longer helpful and can instead hinder a person’s quality of life- finding yourself get into a vicious cycle of worrying thoughts and ‘what if’ scenarios, without being able to find answers and solutions. Anxiety can have both physical and psychological symptoms such as difficulty concentrating or sleeping, dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, feelings of restlessness and worry. There are many ways to combat feelings of anxiety and regulate yourself, talking therapy being one of the most effective ways to learn how to deal with it.

Our Practitioners:

“Anxiety and stress are facts of life. That does not mean that we have to be ruled by these thoughts and feelings, but another fact is that many of us have lives that are dominated by these two states. We can not rid ourselves of anxiety and stress and neither should we, but what each of us has the ability to do is that we can learn about them and how we can deal with them. What has happened in our life experiences that has made us this way and what is happening in our internal dialogue that sustains the feelings of anxiety and stress? All manner of unpleasant things happen to us in these states, not just in our minds but also our bodies. Over time, this can lead to chronic difficulties that adds yet further worries to an already over-stressed system. By assisting you on working towards increased self-knowledge, compassion for self and the motivation to make adjustments we can take very important steps towards alleviating anxiety and making peace with uncertainty.” Dylan Peters, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor >
