Anxiety & Stress

 

Anxiety & Stress COUNSELLING

Stress and anxiety can stop you living life to the fullest and control  your life.  Most of us experience stress/anxiety in our lives. It is a normal and natural response to the stressors of daily living. For most people stress/anxiety is experienced mainly at lower levels, occasionally rising at times. However, others experience consistently high levels of stress/anxiety. 

High stress/anxiety is detrimental to social well-being, mental/emotional/ physical health and relationships. If left untreated high levels of stress/anxiety can lead to panic attacks, relationship breakdowns, social isolation, compulsions, addictions, obsessions, self-medication, serious health problems, low libido and job losses. Anxiety can be managed through counselling, CBT, education, self-care, and changes in lifestyle..
