Find Relief from Anxiety with our Expert Counselling, CBT and EMDR Therapy Service in Hampshire

Anxiety is an emotion that everyone experiences from time to time - but can it become something more? When a person feels out of control and overwhelmed due to worry, uneasiness or fear about what the future holds, then anxiety might have crossed over into a mental health disorder. This disproportionate level of anxiousness not only affects how one thinks and behaves; in some cases, physical symptoms are also present.

Anxiety can often be a necessary and helpful emotion. But when its presence becomes overwhelming, it can start to get in the way of everyday life. The physical manifestations of anxiety - such as muscle tension, headaches, sleeplessness or oversleeping - are just some signs that you need help from an expert in mental health wellness. Experts will work with you to uncover what is causing your elevated levels of stress so they may determine effective strategies for managing them better and restoring balance back into your life.

COUNSELLING HELP FOR ANXIETY AND STRESS IN HAMPSHIRE

A person with anxiety may feel tense with uncomfortable physical sensations, such as: trembling, a racing heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and difficulty breathing. The severe and sudden onset of such symptoms is often indicative of a panic attack.

While brief episodes of appropriate anxiety are perfectly normal during challenging situations, anxiety disorders can reoccur, and sometimes worsen over time.

Anxiety and depression can affect up to 1 in 4 people in the general population. Simply coping with day to day life can be exhausting which can have a huge impact on your relationships and your work. Counselling and therapy helps you take control of your life and helps reduce the symptoms to eventually completely overcoming the problem, so you can return to a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

ONLINE AND IN PERSON COUNSELLING THERAPY FOR ANXIETY IN HAMPSHIRE

Often, anxiety can interfere with relationships, sleeping patterns, eating habits, work, school, and routine activities. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and, in particular, talking therapies such as Counselling and Psychotherapy. Effective therapy can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with anxiety in a relatively short time, allowing a person to resume regular activities and regain a sense of control. Although people may not be able to identify the cause of their anxiety during therapy (which is often not necessary), after attending a few Counselling sessions at the Fareham Counselling Centre, many people obtain a set of skills to be able to manage and reduce their anxiety significantly, allowing them to live a happy, anxiety-free life again.

Hypnotherapy can also be effective in treating anxiety suffers. Click here for more details.
