Anxiety Counselling

Anxiety can show up in many ways—constant worry, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, physical tension, or avoiding situations that make you feel uncomfortable. You might experience panic attacks, feel on edge all the time, or find yourself overthinking everything.

Sometimes anxiety has a clear cause, like a stressful situation or big life change. Other times, it can feel like it comes from nowhere. Either way, it's real, it's valid, and it can be incredibly exhausting.

Anxiety isn't a sign of weakness. It's your mind and body trying to protect you, even when there's no real danger. The good news is that with the right support, you can learn to manage anxiety and take back control.

Counselling for anxiety can help with generalised worry as well as more specific patterns, such as social anxiety around other people, or health anxiety—persistent worry about your health or symptoms. Anxiety and depression can also sometimes occur together, and if that sounds familiar, our depression counselling page may also be helpful.

In your first session, you'll talk about what's been happening with your anxiety and what you'd like help with. Your counsellor will listen without judgement and help you feel at ease.

Ongoing sessions provide a safe space to explore your anxiety, understand what's driving it, and develop strategies that work for you. You'll work together at a pace that feels comfortable.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place by phone or video call. This means you can have your session from somewhere you feel safe and comfortable.
