What is Anxiety Counselling?

Anxiety counselling is a talking therapy focused on understanding and managing anxiety. At Sheffield Mind, our qualified therapists explore where it comes from and, together with you, develop practical ways to manage it.

Anxiety can present itself in many different ways. For example, it might show up as constant worry, panic attacks, physical symptoms, trouble sleeping, or a sense of something that you just can’t shift. Whatever it looks like to you, anxiety counselling can help.

Our one-to-one anxiety therapy sessions typically use CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) approaches, with sessions tailored specifically to your situation, to help manage exactly what’s affecting you.

How Anxiety Therapy at Sheffield Mind Works

Initial Conversation

We start with a relaxed, informal conversation about what's been going on and what goals you're hoping to achieve from your sessions.

Regular Sessions

You’ll then have regular sessions that typically take place weekly, although they can be flexible. These sessions can take place in-person, online or over the phone.

Ongoing Review

You and your therapist will regularly review how things are going and adjust the sessions based on your needs.

Is Anxiety Counselling Right For You?

You might be considering help for anxiety if:

• You constantly worry, even when there’s no obvious reason

• You’re suffering from panic attacks

• Anxiety is affecting your sleep, relationships or your ability to work

• You avoid certain places or situations because of how they make you feel

• You find it hard to switch off or feel present

• You’re suffering from physical symptoms (racing heart, tension, headaches…)

• Stress feels like it's building, and you’re not sure how to deal with it

• You feel ‘on edge’ a lot of the time
  
  

If anxiety is getting in the way of everyday life, that's a reason to reach out; you don’t need to be in crisis to seek support.
