Anxiety is a natural human response to uncertainty, perceived danger and stressful situations. Sometimes, however, worry and heightened alertness can begin to affect daily life, relationships, sleep and emotional wellbeing.
Anxiety can look different from person to person. Some people experience racing thoughts or constant worry, while others notice physical tension, difficulty concentrating, restlessness or avoidance of certain situations.
Counselling offers a space to better understand these experiences and explore strategies that support greater emotional awareness, resilience and connection.
