Anxiety is more than occasional stress or nervousness; it’s a persistent state of worry or fear that can interfere with your daily life. Symptoms can include:

• Racing thoughts and excessive worry
• Physical symptoms such as chest tightness, increased heart rate, or sweating
• Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
• Avoidance of situations or triggers
• Feeling restless, irritable, or overwhelmed

Anxiety counselling helps address these symptoms by identifying their root causes and developing effective coping strategies.

How Anxiety Counselling in Surrey Can Help

Our counselling services focus on creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. With the guidance of an experienced therapist, you’ll learn to:

• Understand Your Anxiety – Gain insights into what triggers your anxiety and how it affects your life.
• Challenge Negative Thoughts – Replace unhelpful thought patterns with healthier, more balanced perspectives.
• Develop Coping Strategies – Learn practical techniques such as relaxation, mindfulness, and stress management to reduce anxiety.
• Build Confidence – Improve self-esteem and resilience to face challenges with greater ease.

Tailored Approaches to Anxiety Counselling

At Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy, we recognise that everyone’s experience with anxiety is unique. Our Surrey-based counselling services are customised to meet your individual needs. We offer a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a highly effective treatment for anxiety, focusing on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps you identify negative thought patterns and teaches you practical skills to manage them. Many clients find relief within 6–12 sessions of CBT.

Mindfulness-Based Counselling

Mindfulness techniques are integrated into counselling to help you stay present and grounded. These practices are especially helpful in reducing overthinking and managing physical symptoms of anxiety.

Integrative Therapy

Our integrative approach combines elements from various counselling modalities to create a personalised treatment plan. This flexibility allows us to address specific concerns and adapt to your progress over time.

Exposure Therapy

For individuals with phobias or specific triggers, exposure therapy gradually introduces these triggers in a controlled environment. This method reduces fear and avoidance behaviours, helping you reclaim control.
