    Panic Attacks

    A panic attack is a sudden sense of fear triggered by our internal alarm system that sets off a wave of intense physical and emotional symptoms known as the fight or flight response. They often occur without warning or obvious triggers. Though frightening and overwhelming, it is temporary and manageable.

Physical symptoms can include a racing heart or dizziness, alongside a constant fear of experiencing another attack or dying from the symptoms.

    Generalised Anxiety Disorder

    Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common condition characterised by persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations, such as health, finances, family or work. These worries can be difficult to control and often feel overwhelming or out of proportion to the situation.

    Social Anxiety Disorder

    Social anxiety disorder is a persistent fear of being judged, embarrassed or negatively evaluated by others in social situations, making interactions difficult and distressing. Constant self-criticism, anticipating the worst, and harshly analysing social interactions.

  • Health Anxiety

    Health Anxiety involves having an overwhelming, persistent preoccupation with having or developing a serious illness. It is commonly characterised by constant checking, excessive reassurance seeking, constant worry and catastrophising harmless physical sensations as a sign of a life-threatening condition.

  • Separation Anxiety

    Separation anxiety causes intense fear and distress about being away from a close attachment figure. Unlike typical worry for loved ones, it significantly interferes with daily functioning and quality of life. It causes excessive fear and anxiety that is out of proportion to the situation if separated from important attachment figures.

  • Agoraphobia

    Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder marked by intense fear of environments where escape or help feels extremely difficult during sudden panic. Constant worry and avoidance can severely disrupt work, relationships, and routines, leading to severe panic symptoms—sometimes leaving someone totally housebound.

  • Specific Phobias

    Specific phobia is an anxiety disorder featuring an intense, irrational fear and disproportionate reaction to an object or situation posing little or no real danger, e.g. spiders, heights, needles, animals. Encountering or even contemplating the trigger often activates an immediate fight-or-flight response.
