What we can help with.
Anxiety disorders.
Anxiety covers a whole range of difficulties including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety, performance anxiety, generalised anxiety (anxiety about many things including worrying about worrying), agoraphobia (fear of being in spaces where it might be difficult to escape), panic disorder (panic attacks) and specific phobia (from spider to needle to vomiting).
Trauma.
Experiencing a traumatic life event can, but not always, result in a cluster of symptoms referred to as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.
PTSD can also develop after exposure to multiple traumatic experiences or relationships. This is called Complex PTSD of C-PTSD.
Low mood.
Depression or low mood can impact many areas of your life, including your romantic relationships, family and work life, friendships and your desire to engage in hobbies and interests. Much like anxiety and worry it can significantly impact on your appetite, sleep and sexual life.
Eating disorders.
Eating disorders are associated with a range of symptoms, including problematic eating behaviours, anxiety and fear about eating, concern and distress about weight and body shape, and use of certain behaviours designed to prevent weight gain and / or relieve negative mood states. Certain patterns of symptoms may cluster to present as difficulties including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder or ARFID. Over time, eating disorders can have a significant negative effect on a person's mood and sense of self-esteem, their physical health, their ability to focus and concentrate, and their desire to interact with others, potentially causing friction in their relationships with others.
Life stress.
Whether in good times or bad, everyone experiences stress at one time or another. The difference between stress and anxiety is that stress is a response to a situation (work difficulties, family event for example) and anxiety is the reaction to that stress. Chronic stress can impact on your physical health, causing symptoms from headaches, high blood pressure, digestive problems to loss of sleep and changes in appetite.
Low self-esteem.
Low self-esteem refers to how you feel about yourself overall. Indicators of low self esteem include perfectionism, people pleasing (consistently putting others before yourself), heavy criticism of yourself or others, excessive use of social media (comparing self negatively to others) and not speaking up when you have something to say.
