Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discom...
Therapy provides you with a safe, supportive and healing environment to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.

In addition to helping the client cope with immediate distress and challenging problems, together we will explore these old patterns to discover their root causes. By doing so we unlock the potential for new ways of relating wi...
