Anxiety can disrupt daily life, affecting focus, tasks, and social
connections. Symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, and muscle
tension often lead to avoidance behaviors that can impact self-esteem.
Therefore, understanding anxiety as a treatable condition is essential.

At Impetus Counselling & Psychotherapy, we provide a compassionate and
personalised approach to anxiety treatment, addressing issues like social
anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. We use
evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to equip you with practical
tools for managing anxiety. Our aim is to help you regain your confidence
and inner strength
