As counselling involves talking about sensitive issues and revealing personal thoughts and feelings, your counsellor should be experienced and professionally qualified. Counselling and clinical psychologists must be registered with the health & care professions council (hcpc) , and may also be chartered with the british psychological society (bps). The british association for behavioural & cognitive psychotherapies (babcp) maintains a list of accredited cbt practitioners. Therapists registered with a professional association have met the psa's high standards for governance, standard setting, education and training, information, management and complaints. They must also maintain high ethical and professional standards. This gives the public greater protection, and guarantees a minimum level of training and continuing professional development.

Often, anxiety can interfere with relationships, sleeping patterns, eating habits, work, school, and routine activities. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and, in particular, talking therapies such as counselling and psychotherapy. Effective therapy can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with anxiety in a relatively short time, allowing a person to resume regular activities and regain a sense of control. Although people may not be able to identify the cause of their anxiety during therapy (which is often not necessary), after attending a few counselling sessions at the fareham counselling centre, many people obtain a set of skills to be able to manage and reduce their anxiety significantly, allowing them to live a happy, anxiety-free life again.

What happens when you refer yourself

What causes anxiety in one individual may not cause anxiety in another. Our bodies' reaction to risk is a very old system that evolved from man's need to recognise physical danger (such as the possibility of being devoured by a woolly mammoth) and react promptly (i. E. Run away). That's why, when you start to feel worried, you notice your heart racing, your stomach churning, and possibly tingling in your arms and legs - your body is simply warning you to flee the danger. However, modern danger is not usually in the form of a hungry woolly mammoth. Today, 'danger' refers to tension, thoughts of being out of control, or challenging emotions like depression or anger.

`any cognitive therapy text which quotes from alice in wonderland is off to a good start - and in the case of counselling for anxiety problems, it gets better and better. This is an excellent book written by counselling psychologists, aimed primarily at counselling psychologists. Diana sanders and frank wills are experienced cognitive therapists, who, through various books, are performing a valuable role of building bridges between counsellors and the practice of cognitive therapists. In doing so, they lay to rest many of the misconceptions counsellors may have about cognitive therapy (often based on an 80s version of the therapy), and place particular emphasis on the central importance of therapeutic relationship in cognitive therapy, as in counselling.

Who can have talking therapies on the NHS?

Cbt (cognitive behavioural therapy) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. There is a strong evidence base to support its effectiveness in helping treat common mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and phobias and is one of the most commonly used talking therapies in the nhs. It does not suit everyone though, particularly because it is often ‘solution’ focused and so some people may benefit from anxiety counselling or psychotherapy.

Arrange an appointment with the gp. They will ask about the issues you are facing and direct you to places in the nhs that can help you.

yes, there is a large amount of evidence that psychological and talking therapies are effective in treating anxiety. Well-documented enduring effects exist that therapy and counselling improve anxiety disorders and reduce their cognitive and emotional symptoms. Cbt therapy for anxiety is one of the approaches with the strongest proven evidence. It is also the treatment most of the therapy central anxiety therapists use to work with anxious clients. At therapy central we have helped many people who struggle with anxiety and enabled them to better manage it and reduce the impact it has upon their lives. Our anxiety therapists draw upon therapy approaches that are shown to be effective, such as cbt (discover how counselling, psychotherapy and cbt therapy work ).
