Anxiety

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can cause excessive worry, nervousness, fear, or feelings of overwhelm that interfere with daily life. It may also present physically through symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, muscle tension, racing thoughts, or panic attacks. It becomes a problem when that alarm system stays switched on too often or too intensely, making everyday life feel harder than it should.

Counselling can help individuals understand their anxiety, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in managing stressful situations.
