Anxiety / anxiety disorder and Stress can be helped with Psychotherapy or Hypnotherapy

NHS Direct estimate that approximately 1 in 50 people will suffer with generalised anxiety disorder at some point during their lifetime.  This condition can happen to anyone at anytime and can affect men and women of all ages.

Generalised anxiety is a long-term condition that can make you feel anxious about lots of things, as opposed to anxiety about a specific thing or upcoming event – for example tests and exams or a wedding or financial issues.  Feeling worried or anxious over a specific issue is quite normal.  But when you find yourself permanently anxious, this can affect everyday life. You may find that you feel worried or anxious almost every day and you may simply not be able to relax.

The NHS informs that symptoms of anxiety / anxiety disorder can be hugely varied.

A Sense of dread

Feeling Irritable, Impatient, ‘on edge’ or restless

Difficulty concentrating, easily distracted

Dizziness or Headaches

Lethargy, Difficulty in sleeping or staying asleep

Irregular heart beat (palpitations)

Muscle aches, Pins and needles

Dry mouth, Excessive thirst

Shortness of breath

Stomach ache or diarrhoea

Some people experience ‘panic attacks’ which can feel very frightening indeed, with people often describing how they thought they were going to die, usually of a heart attack.

There are many symptoms and conditions for which anxiety is at the root.  For example, fears, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, tearful and emotional, anger and jealousy and generalized anxiety disorder.
