We all have anxious feelings from time to time caused by difficulties experienced in daily life. However, feeling anxious, fearful, tense and worried all the time when there is no obvious cause could mean that you are suffering from an anxiety disorder. We offer anxiety therapy at our London and Hertfordshire practices. We also offer Online Counselling and Therapy for Anxiety. Take a look at our Online Therapy for Anxiety Guide PDF.  

Anxiety Disorder Causes

Anxiety can be caused by a number of different experiences which might include: an overwhelming or traumatic event, bullying, a history of addiction, long term health difficulty or difficulties experienced in childhood. There are also a number of conditions which contribute to anxiety symptoms. These include General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Our Anxiety Therapy Approaches

We use a number of approaches to help you with anxiety.

• Psychotherapy
• Behavioural therapy
• Anxiety management & relaxation techniques
• Eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR)
• Cranio-Sacral Therapy

We use psychotherapy to help you understand how the past is affecting the present. It helps you make long lasting changes by developing the qualities needed to overcome anxiety. Behavioural therapy enables you challenge unhelpful thinking which keeps the anxiety feelings running longer. We also use practical relaxation techniques to help you manage and cope with difficult situations. EMDR therapy helps with panic disorder and specific situations which cause panic attacks.
