Why Does Anxiety Happen?
Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress or danger, also known as the “fight or flight” response. It’s like your internal alarm system trying to keep you safe. But sometimes, this alarm goes off when there’s no real danger—or it stays on too long, making it hard to feel calm.
Living with anxiety can feel isolating, but millions of people deal with it, and there is support available. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help you understand what triggers your anxiety, teach you tools to manage it, and give you the confidence to face life’s challenges with greater ease.
Why Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the Right Choice
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is recommended by the NICE Guidelines (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) as the first-line treatment for anxiety disorders.
-
Scientifically Proven: Research shows that CBT significantly reduces symptoms in 60–80% of individuals with anxiety.
-
NICE-Approved: CBT is recommended as the preferred non-medication treatment for conditions like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety.
-
Fast and Effective: With structured sessions, most people see improvement within 6–12 weeks, with benefits that last over time.
