Counselling For Anxiety in Twickenham
Are you feeling the weight of anxiety and its persistent grip that has been affecting various aspects of your life? Anxiety, at its core, is a neurological & physiological reaction which triggers chemicals & hormones in our bodies. From an evolutionary perspective, it is our way of ensuring that we survive. We are constantly surveying our environment to ensure we are safe, most of this is done out of our awareness.
Initially, anxiety isn’t always negative—it boosts focus, alertness, and motivation. However, when this physical & mental response lingers, even in unwarranted situations, it can become unmanageable and even overwhelming. My integrative and humanistic approach to counselling in Twickenham helps individuals understand the root cause of anxiety and how to manage it effectively.
External & Internal Factors of Anxiety
Every day we have many experiences that may impact us and have either a positive or negative effect on how we notice our anxiety levels. Identifying when anxiety becomes too much is crucial. Cognitive symptoms like difficulty concentrating or constant anxious thoughts, rumination, physical signs such as fast pumping heartbeat, dizziness, headaches, stomach-churning and emotional indicators like irritability, feeling alone, and possibly overwhelmed. These symptoms can affect our behaviours, impacting sleep, our relationships, eating habits, and many other unhealthy coping strategies possibly resorting to substances for relief.
