Benefits of Counselling

Calming Anxious Thoughts.

Anxiety

Understanding anxiety is manageable and you are not alone, all begins with taking time out. I offer techniques to alleviate feelings of anxiety. Some methods may include watching the sun rising or a sunset over the water. Visualization is a way to imagine somewhere peaceful, visualization can transport you away from feelings of anxiety and into a place of peace and tranquility.

Taking time out to be in the moment while focusing on your breathing, can help regulate your nervous system. Engaging in mindfulness or meditation techniques by focusing on the present moment, listening to the waves roll in and out, helps promote self-awareness.

Muscle relaxation is another form of relaxation, this can be obtained by tensing and relaxing your muscles, resulting in the release physical tension and promoting relaxation. Dicover how I can help you:

  • Anxiety treatment strategies

  • Insight into understanding anxiety

  • Recognizing common anxiety symptoms

  • Self - awareness

  • Mindfulness techniques
