Therapy for Anxiety

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest in various forms, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias. Anxiety can have a profound impact on your daily life, causing persistent worry, fear, and physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, and difficulty breathing.

How Anxiety Impacts You

Anxiety doesn't just affect your mental health – it can also impact your physical well-being, relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Common ways anxiety impacts a person include:

  • Disrupted sleep patterns and fatigue

  • Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

  • Avoidance behaviors and social isolation

  • Physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, and digestive issues

  • Impaired performance at work or school

  • Strained relationships and interpersonal conflicts

Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment

At Authentic Living London, we believe in a holistic approach to anxiety treatment that addresses the root causes of your symptoms while promoting long-term healing and resilience. Our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based modalities, including:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps individuals explore and reconcile conflicting parts of themselves, reducing internal conflict and promoting inner harmony.

  • Exposure Therapy: For specific phobias or social anxiety, exposure therapy gently exposes individuals to feared situations in a controlled and supportive manner. Over time, exposure helps desensitize individuals to triggers and reduces anxiety responses.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT teaches mindfulness skills to help individuals accept difficult thoughts and emotions while taking committed action towards their values and goals.

  • Mindfulness Practices: Mindfulness techniques, including meditation, deep breathing exercises, and body scans, are integrated into therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress.

  • Somatic Therapy: Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping individuals release tension, trauma, and stored emotions through gentle movement and body awareness exercises.

  • Supportive Counseling: Therapy offers a space for clients to explore underlying emotions, past experiences, and relational patterns that contribute to anxiety. Through empathic listening and validation, clients can gain insight, process emotions, and build resilience.
