Therapy for anxiety in Preston, Lancashire
Is anxiety controlling your life?
Do you often feel a tight knot in your stomach or an overwhelming sense of dread that lingers throughout your day? You’re not alone. Anxiety affects millions, creating a cycle of worry that can feel all-consuming. In fact, anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issues in the UK, impacting around 1 in 6 adults (Mental Health Foundation, 2021).
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is more than just occasional worry; it can manifest in various forms—social anxiety, panic attacks, and generalised anxiety disorder, to name a few. It can make everyday tasks feel daunting, leaving you trapped in a loop of “What if?” You may find yourself avoiding situations that trigger your anxiety, leading to isolation and missed opportunities. Physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate, sweating, and fatigue, can further compound your distress (Barlow, 2002).
How therapy can help
In therapy, we create a safe and supportive space to explore your feelings and fears. Together, we’ll unpack your experiences, identify patterns in your thoughts, and develop practical strategies to manage your anxiety. Through open dialogue, you’ll gain insight into your feelings and discover that it’s possible to regain a sense of calm.
