​Professional Anxiety Counselling in Heidelberg
​
We all feel anxious from time to time – it’s a very normal human reaction when faced with change, uncertainty or big expectations. Anxiety can sometimes be protective to help us perform at our best. 

However, for many, anxiety can be an almost crippling mental health issue that interferes with day to day living. 
Anxiety can manifest in a number of specific ways including:
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • ​Panic Disorder
  • Phobias
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Separation Anxiety
  • Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

Anxiety can be experienced both physically and mentally. Tightness or pains in the throat or chest, “funny” tummy or nausea, accelerated breathing, sweating, feeling faint, muscular tension, sleep problems and reduced appetite are some of the physical symptoms of anxiety. 

People with anxiety also report feeling out of control, catastrophizing, rumination, a feeling of doom, racing negative or intrusive thoughts and insomnia. Anxiety and sleeplessness are also the best of buddies and work together to make you miserable.

At Relieve Psychology we understand and take anxiety seriously. We work with you both somatically (in the body) and mentally to get to the cause, not just the symptoms. 

We provide practical strategies to help you manage anxiety and restore peace of mind and calmness into your day to day living.We know living with anxiety can be extremely uncomfortable and you don’t have to live like this. Call us to find some relief.
