When worry becomes your full-time job
Your mind never rests. From the moment you wake up, it's spinning through worst-case scenarios. Money, health, relationships, work - everything feels like a potential catastrophe waiting to happen. Even when things are okay, you're waiting for the other shoe to drop.
You lie awake rehearsing conversations that might never happen
Good news feels suspicious - what's the catch?
You've planned for disasters that friends call "ridiculously unlikely"
Relaxing feels impossible - or irresponsible
Your body's constantly tense, jaw clenched, shoulders tight
You're exhausted but "wired" at the same time
People say you overthink, but you can't help it
You know your worry is excessive, but knowing doesn't stop it. While others seem carefree, you're carrying the weight of infinite "what-ifs." You're tired of being told to "just relax" by people who don't understand that your brain doesn't have an off switch.
how i can help
Imagine life with a quiet mind
Picture waking up without that immediate flood of worries. Being present in good moments instead of planning for bad ones. Having energy for life instead of wasting it on scenarios that never happen. This isn't about becoming careless - it's about caring appropriately.
Our specialised GAD treatment helps you understand why your brain overestimates threats and underestimates your ability to cope. More importantly, you'll learn practical ways to calm the worry storm and find peace in uncertainty.
GAD requires a special approach because worry feels protective - your brain thinks it's helping by planning for every disaster. Our treatment combines CBT techniques specifically adapted for chronic worry with mindfulness practices that teach present-moment awareness.
You'll learn to catch worry early, evaluate its usefulness, and either problem-solve (if it's productive) or let go (if it's not). We also use worry postponement, uncertainty training, and body-based relaxation to give your nervous system a break from constant alert mode.

Common questions about GAD treatment
-
While some people are naturally more prone to worry, GAD is absolutely treatable. You don't have to accept constant anxiety as your personality. With the right techniques, even lifelong worriers see dramatic improvement.
-
Most clients notice some relief within 3-4 sessions as they learn initial coping strategies. Significant reduction in worry typically occurs within 12-16 sessions, though everyone's timeline is different.
-
No. Treatment helps you distinguish between useful concern (that leads to action) and useless worry (that just causes suffering). You'll still care about important things - just without the exhausting excess.
-
GAD involves worry that's excessive, hard to control, and interferes with daily life. If you worry more days than not, about multiple topics, and it's affecting your functioning, it's likely GAD rather than normal concern.
-
Many people overcome GAD with therapy alone. Our techniques are highly effective for worry. If you're considering medication, we can discuss pros and cons and work alongside your GP if you choose that route.
