Therapy can help you:
Recognise your anxiety patterns
Identify triggers, recurring thoughts, physical responses, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking that may be keeping anxiety going.
Respond differently to anxious thoughts and feelings
Learn practical ways to work with unhelpful thinking, tolerate uncertainty, manage physical symptoms, and reduce automatic reactions driven by fear.
Build confidence through gradual change
Work toward facing situations you may have been avoiding and develop coping skills you can continue using outside therapy.
Depending on your needs and your psychologist's assessment, therapy may draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), exposure-based strategies, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, or other appropriate psychological approaches. The approach and pace should reflect your individual circumstances and goals.
