MAKING SENSE OF ANXIETY
When anxiety
begins to take up
too much space.
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, tension, poor sleep, irritability, avoidance or a feeling that something bad is about to happen. Panic can feel sudden and physical, leaving you frightened of the sensations themselves or worried about when they may return.
You do not need to decide whether your experience is “serious enough” before getting in touch. If anxiety is limiting your choices, draining your energy or making daily life harder, counselling can provide space to understand it.
WORKING TOGETHER
What we can work on
We can explore what tends to trigger anxiety, how your body and thoughts respond, how you cope, and whether those responses ease the anxiety or keep it going.
We may also look at earlier experiences, relationships or pressures that contribute to how you feel now.
Understand the patterns
Make sense of what contributes to how you feel.
Find steadier ways to respond
Explore practical ways to respond to anxious thoughts and physical sensations.
Take small steps
Approach what you have been avoiding, without rushing.
Panic attacks can
feel frightening.
Panic attacks can be frightening, particularly when they are new or unexplained. Physical symptoms should not automatically be assumed to be anxiety. If you are concerned about new, severe or unusual symptoms, contact your GP or seek urgent medical advice.
A CALM PLACE TO BEGIN
Talk about what’s been happening
Your first message can be brief. We’ll discuss what you’re experiencing and whether my approach is right for the support you need.

Is my anxiety serious enough for counselling?
You do not need to decide whether your experience is “serious enough” before getting in touch. If worry or anxious feelings are affecting your choices, energy or daily life, you are welcome to ask about support.
Can I talk about panic attacks?
You can tell me what you have been experiencing. We can discuss whether counselling and my approach are appropriate for the support you need. New, severe or unusual physical symptoms should be assessed by your GP or through urgent medical advice.
Can we meet online?
Online counselling may be an option if you are in Ireland and have a suitable private space. We can discuss your circumstances, privacy and suitability before beginning. Read about online counselling.
