Anxiety

Stress and anxiety can hold you back and stop you from living the life that you want to lead and can impact relationships, work life, private life and overall feelings of wellness if left unchecked. Anxiety is a complex condition that can take many forms and present itself differently throughout those with the condition, making it vital to get to the route cause of the problem and effectively deal with the symptoms.  At Bridges Therapy Centre, our team of counsellors and psychologists in Hendon and Canary Wharf can help you to overcome anxiety and other related conditions such as panic disorder, health anxiety, phobias and stress by helping you to learn coping mechanisms and prevent anxiety attacks.

Anxiety can be short or long term and can occur as a result of an event in life or be more of a generalised condition that is specific to circumstance, such as phobias and social anxiety. By working to reframe the anxious thoughts you have, our team work with you to understand why they happen, how we can better deal with them and what to do when they strike, so that you can live a more worry-free life.

Symptoms of anxiety can include:

  • Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
  • Churning in your stomach
  • Pins and needles
  • Restlessness
  • Headaches or backache
  • Faster breathing and increased heart rate
  • Sweating or hot flushes
  • Sleeping issues
  • Nausea and diarrhoea 
  • Panic attacks

The symptoms of anxiety can be physical, mental or both and differ from person to person. They can be debilitating and prevent you from having meaningful relationships, functioning at work and from getting outside of your comfort zone.

Overcoming Anxiety

Bridges Therapy Centre can provide counselling, CBT, Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you understand why you feel anxious, how you can prevent it and how to deal with the symptoms when they begin to present.
