Anxiety is one of the most common emotional challenges faced by people today. Whether it appears as constant worry, fear of specific situations, or overwhelming panic, anxiety can deeply impact everyday life.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be dealing with anxiety:

● Rapid heartbeat or palpitations

● Excessive sweating

● Difficulty focusing

● Loss of motivation

● Sleep disturbances or insomnia

Anxiety can leave you feeling mentally and physically out of control. Daily activities like eating well, exercising, or even going to work can feel overwhelming.

Types of Anxiety

● Phobias: Fear of specific situations like flying, using elevators, heights, or insects.

● Social Anxiety: Fear of crowded or social spaces such as malls, auditoriums, or public gatherings.

● Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent worry about everyday matters, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as headaches, body aches, or fatigue. This is more commonly seen in women, but can affect anyone.

What Causes Anxiety?

Anxiety is your body’s natural response to a perceived threat. These threats may be:

● External: “If I go out, I might get sick.”

● Internal: Recurring, obsessive, or negative thoughts.

● Time-based: Triggers may stem from past trauma, current stress, or future worries like “What if I lose my job?”

How Therapy Can Help:

At our practice, we use evidence-based methods to help clients manage and overcome anxiety. Our approach is supportive, structured, and tailored to your individual needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns—replacing catastrophic thinking with realistic, manageable perspectives. For example:

“I can’t handle this” becomes → “This is hard, but I can cope.”

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

REBT focuses on building emotional resilience and setting realistic goals, helping you develop frustration tolerance and self-confidence.

Apart from CBT and REBT, we use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness practices, Exposure therapy and more.
