Anxiety
We are living in times with various external pressures and stressors. This could leave us feeling trapped or stuck and cause us anxiety. Anxiety can take on many different forms …
Psychological therapy is required when you are living in a permanent state of distress or anxiety – leaving you feeling stuck or trapped. You don’t feel in control, you are overly anxious and you avoid or put tasks off. The distressing experience or feeling may be cyclic, but difficult to get rid of – especially when your day-to-day functioning begins to be affected.
The reasons for the onset of psychological difficulties may be related to sudden stresses such as bereavement or traumatic life changes. In other situations, problems may be linked to longer standing difficulties, such as painful childhood experiences. Psychological problems may also build up over time inadvertently and be brought to a head by the proverbial last straw.
Being a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, I adhere to the Professional and Ethical Standards of the British Psychological Society and Health & Care Professions Council. I view confidentiality of the utmost importance, which means that all the information discussed within the therapeutic process is kept confidential.
Should a request to supply a report or letter be required, you as a client will first be consulted. Except for a full psychological assessment report, only essential information will be provided to the referrer or health insurer. Please note there are exceptions when it comes to confidentiality. I am required by law to disclose information when concerns involve child protection issues. If in doubt, this can be discussed with me in your first session.
