Anxiety, along with depression, is recognised as one of the most prevalent mental health disorders. Essentially, anxiety is synonymous with concern or worry. Our Psychologists will help you to resume control of your fears and put anxiety ‘back into its box’ through teamwork and empowerment. However, anxiety or worry can get out of hand, and come to take over our lives, leading us to live in constant dread or fear. The process by which a useful survival trait like worry transforms itself into a debilitating condition causing significant distress and impairment is not entirely clear.  At a thinking level our ’threat perception and evaluation’ system seems to go wrong, and we start to see threat at every turn, or our response to little threats becomes massively exaggerated.
