Anxiety is often described as an unpleasant feeling when you feel worried, uneasy or distressed about something that may or may not be about to happen.
Feeling anxious is perfectly normal and something that almost everyone experiences at times. For example, you may feel anxious about starting a new job, sitting an exam or a hospital visit. However, when anxiety becomes severe it can lead to debilitating symptoms ranging from a psychological symptoms such as a sense of dread and difficulty concentrating, to physical symptoms such as insomnia, headaches and nausea.
Excessive anxiety may develop in response to a major stressful event or long-term chronic stress. It is also the main symptoms of a range of conditions including panic disorder, phobias and post-traumatic stress. Some people develop severe anxiety symptoms for no apparent reason.
Panic attacks are a severe form of anxiety and in some cases the trigger is unclear – they may be a symptom of general anxiety and stress, especially if the stress is extreme or has been going on for a long period of time. It’s helpful to know that there are some simple self-help strategies you can use to reduce your anxiety and manage panic attacks if they do happen.
My symptoms got so bad that I barely had a life any more. I went to work, came back and locked the door. I jumped every time the phone rang or someone knocked at the door. Worst of all, I was snapping at my kids all of the time. Working with Helen showed me how to control my symptoms and begin to get my life back. I still feel anxious at times but now I know how to calm myself down again.

Our programs are based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). You’ll be assigned a personal therapist who will work with you throughout the program.
The NHS say that CBT is one of the most effective treatments available for severe anxiety:
Research suggests that CBT improves the symptoms of over half of all people with this condition. CBT works by helping you identify unhelpful and unrealistic beliefs and behavioural patterns. Your therapist then shows you ways that you can replace these beliefs with more realistic and balanced ones.
