How we approach it at Sone
Psychotherapy and Psychological Counselling
The anxiety cycle (triggers, thoughts, body sensations, avoidance) is mapped; breathing and grounding skills are taught and feared situations are approached gradually.
Physiotherapy
Chronic muscle tension and tension headaches can be eased with a relaxation and exercise programme.
Nutrition and Dietetics
Caffeine, irregular meals and blood-sugar swings can amplify anxiety symptoms; a dietitian can help stabilise them.
Frequently asked questions
What does a panic attack feel like, and is it dangerous?
A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear with palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating and a feeling of losing control. It peaks within minutes and passes. It is frightening but not physically harmful; a first medical check-up rules out other causes, and therapy then targets the fear of the attacks themselves.
When should I see a psychologist for anxiety?
Consider seeing a psychologist when worry has lasted for weeks, is hard to control and affects your sleep, concentration, work or relationships. Avoiding places or situations because you fear a panic attack is another clear sign. You do not need to wait until things get worse; earlier support usually means a shorter course of therapy.
How does therapy help with anxiety and panic attacks?
Therapy for anxiety, usually cognitive behavioural therapy, teaches you to recognise the thought patterns that keep worry going and to gradually face what you avoid. For panic, you learn that the body sensations are uncomfortable but safe, which breaks the cycle of fear about fear. Skills are practised between sessions so the gains hold.
How many sessions does anxiety therapy usually take?
Structured programmes for anxiety and panic usually run 8–16 weekly sessions of about 50 minutes. Panic disorder often responds faster; long-standing generalised anxiety may take longer. Progress is reviewed together every few sessions so the plan can be adjusted rather than following a fixed number.
