Counselling and therapy for anxiety and worry

Inappropriate Anxiety is an Unnecessary Flight Response

When individuals are confronted with an apparent threat or danger, just up ahead, they have an automatic instinctive tendency to respond with "fight" or "flight". If you have a problem with social anxiety, then you are attempting to flee from the threat of being judged, or appearing in a bad light, in a public place. If you are suffering from performance anxiety, in public roles, or in interviews or academic exams, then you are most likely telling yourself two things:

I must not fail because significant other people will not like me, or accept me so much, and that would be unbearable; and/or:
I must not make any mistakes in public, because I will not accept anything less than perfection from myself.

I can teach you a more empowering way of managing your life which you can then apply in those situations in which you feel anxious. This new way of seeing the world, and responding to potential threats and dangers, will reduce your arousal in anxiety-inducing situations, and thus you will be able to handle the significantly reduced stress of being in public, being on stage, being in an interview or an exam, etc.

I can help you to calm down, and to stay calmed down. You don't even have to take time out to come and see me at my office; and we never even have to meet. We can work together over the telephone, and I can send you follow-up reading material, and you can email me with progress reports.

On the other hand, if you want to meet face to face, I can set up an appointment to meet in Hebden Bridge or Halifax.

Or in London, Leeds or Manchester;

Or in Edinburgh, York or Wilmslow.

In a short time you could have your anxiety under control, if you respond well to my coaching.

To set up an appointment, call me today on:
