Therapeutic Approaches for Anxiety
Anxiety counselling focuses on understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact to maintain anxiety. Therapy is practical, supportive, and goal-focused, helping you develop effective coping strategies and regain a greater sense of control.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for anxiety. CBT helps identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, while developing healthier and more balanced ways of responding.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy helps increase awareness of anxious thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns. By staying more grounded in the present moment, many people experience reduced anxiety and improved emotional regulation.
Graded Exposure Therapy
Avoidance often reinforces anxiety. Graded exposure therapy involves gradually facing feared situations in a safe and manageable way, helping reduce fear and build confidence over time.
Grounding and Relaxation Techniques
Grounding and relaxation strategies can help calm the nervous system during periods of heightened anxiety or panic.
Common anxiety relaxation techniques include:
