Characterized by excessive and persistent worry about many things, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, or GAD, often leaves people feeling restless and on edge.

Social Anxiety Disorder and/or social phobia involves high anxiety, fear, and avoidance of social situations due to embarrassment, self-consciousness, and concern about being judged. Does the thought of a gathering leave you uneasy? Do social interactions drain you more than they should? If so, Social Anxiety might be something you're facing. Our therapy sessions provide a safe space to explore and understand these feelings and equip you with the confidence to navigate social settings easily. Picture yourself enjoying parties, meetings, and casual interactions again. We're here to help you make this a reality.
A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause, making it deeply frightening. The unexpected rush of intense fear, the pounding heart, the feeling of choking - panic attacks can be incredibly overwhelming. But, remember, you don't have to face them alone. Proven therapy techniques can aid you in identifying triggers, understanding your body's responses, and mastering effective coping mechanisms. Imagine a world where panic doesn't take the wheel. We strive for that, and together, we believe we can reach that destination.
Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation beyond what is appropriate. Common phobias such as spiders, flying, or heights, can cause significant distress and may even impact your daily life. If your fear feels out of proportion, you might be dealing with a phobia. But there's good news - therapy sessions are designed to gradually and safely help you confront and reduce these fears. Picture a world where fear doesn't limit your experiences. We support you on this journey toward a more liberated life.

Every individual is unique and the same issue may present differently with different individuals. Therefore, the intervention has to be tailored to your own unique needs. We have experience in numerous evidence based modalities. Whether to use a particular modality or not, can be mutually decided during the sessions. We believe in providing culturally sensitive, person centered, recovery oriented, and trauma informed services.
CBT is a highly effective therapy modality often used for treating various anxiety disorders, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Phobias. It revolves around understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact to create anxiety. CBT teaches you to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that may exacerbate your anxiety. You're not alone in this! We walk with you, equipping you with coping strategies to transform your life. Imagine redirecting your thoughts, diffusing anxiety, and living your life on your terms. CBT can help make this possible.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) is a highly effective approach for managing anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Phobias. REBT's core philosophy asserts that it's not events themselves that upset us, but the beliefs we hold about those events. For instance, it helps you understand that the fear from a panic attack doesn't stem from the event itself, but rather your thoughts about what the event means. With REBT, you'll learn to challenge and change irrational beliefs, reducing anxiety and promoting healthier responses to stressful situations. This approach cultivates a healthier, more rational way of thinking, leading to greater emotional well-being. You don't have to struggle alone; consider how REBT could help provide the tools to regain control and navigate your life with confidence and peace.
Mindfulness isn't just a buzzword. It's a powerful approach to managing and overcoming anxiety disorders. This approach focuses on staying in the present and fully engaged in the moment. Mindfulness can help those dealing with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Phobias. It encourages acceptance of feelings without judgement and trains your mind to respond rather than react to anxiety-inducing stimuli. Envision a life where your mind is at peace, where anxiety doesn't control your response to life's challenges. A mindfulness approach could help you reach this tranquil state.
