Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, exhausting and isolating. It may show up as a constant worry, racing thoughts, tension in your body, panic, avoidance, or a sense that you're always "on edge". For many people, anxiety quietly interferes with work, relationships, sleep and the ability to enjoy everyday life.
​
At Green Lotus Well-being, therapeutic counselling for anxiety offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to slow things down, understand what's happening for you and develop the tools to feel more grounded and in control.
​
How Anxiety Can Present:
​
Anxiety looks different for everyone. You might be experiencing:
​
-
Persistent worry or overthinking
-
Panic attacks or sudden surges of fear
-
Chest tightness, shortness of breath or nausea
-
Difficulty sleeping
-
Avoidance of certain situations or people
-
Feeling irritable, overwhelmed or emotionally drained
​
How Counselling Can Help:
​
Therapeutic counselling helps explore the underlying patterns, triggers and experiences that contribute to anxiety, while building practical skills and strategies to manage symptoms day to day.
​
Together, we may work on:
​
-
Understanding your anxiety and how it is affecting your body and mind
-
Developing coping strategies to manage worry, panic and overwhelm
-
Learning grounding and regulation techniques to calm your nervous system
-
Exploring unhelpful thinking patterns and emotional responses
-
Building confidence, self-compassion and emotional resilience
​
Counselling is not about "getting rid" of anxiety, about changing your relationship with it - so it no longer controls your life.
​
