Did you experience a difficult, stressful life event, in which you thought your life/health/identity was at risk? Did you witness a dangerous event? Do you still think or dream about it? Does it affect your sleep or ability to concentrate?
Are you jumpy, irritable or hyper-vigilant? Is it still difficult to believe that it really happened? Do reminders of it cause you to have physical reactions? Do you experience flashbacks, where you relive that particular experience?
If you experience these symptoms you might be suffering from Trauma or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). As a trauma therapist EMDR is my preferred way of working with Trauma​ and PTSD. I still get amazed by the effects it brings to the clients.
Have you noticed that you worry too much about your health? Are you always afraid that you are seriously ill (heart disease/cancer)? Do you experience constant anxiety about your health and your life?
​
Do you experience rapid or pounding heartbeat, chest pain or discomfort, chills or hot flushes, sweating, nausea, trembling or shaking, dizziness or faintness, breathlessness, feelings of unreality, or numbness or tingling? Do you fear you are losing control or dying?​
​
If you experience these symptoms you might be suffering from Health Anxiety or Panic Disorder. I offer treatments that will help - including CBT for anxiety problems, which will help you deal with a range of anxiety related issues in your life.
​
Do you have a sense of constant anxiety? Are you overly anxious? Do you worry about many different things? Many situations make you worry? Do you worry about everything that you need to do? Do you feel overwhelmed by your worries?
Are you able to dismiss your worries? Have you been a worrier all your life? Do you think about the worst-case scenarios that cause anxiety? Do you find difficult to relax and you feel always tense?
If you experience these symptoms you might be suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I offer CBT for overcoming anxiety. CBT helps with reducing your anxiety and managing your worries. There are many effective techniques to deal with your anxiety problems.

Do you perform rituals or routine activities such as hand washing or constant checking because you worry that something bad could happen?
