Anxiety Treatment and support

Anxiety is something many people experience—it’s that feeling of unease, worry, or fear that can creep in, sometimes without warning.

 

It’s completely normal to feel anxious before a big event, during stressful times, or when facing the unknown. But when anxiety starts to interfere with your daily life, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting.

Understanding Anxiety in the UK: The Facts

  • Anxiety Affects Millions

    • In recent years, nearly 1 in 3 adults in the UK has reported experiencing high levels of anxiety. This is a growing concern, especially among women, where over 37% report significant struggles with anxiety.

  • Anxiety in Daily Life

    • Searches for "anxiety symptoms" happen over 74,000 times per month in the UK. Many are also looking for ways to cope, with thousands searching for "anxiety treatment."

  • Help is Available

    • Despite these numbers, recovery is possible. With the right therapy and support, many people learn to manage anxiety and regain control over their lives.

​​​What Does Anxiety Feel Like?

  • You might feel like your heart is racing or pounding.

  • Your mind could be filled with “what if” thoughts that won’t go away.

  • It may feel hard to focus, relax, or even breathe.

  • Sometimes, your body reacts too—with tense muscles, a stomach that won’t settle, or trouble sleeping.

 

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.

If you or someone you love is experiencing anxiety, you are not alone. These statistics highlight how common this struggle is—and the importance of getting support.  At Solicitude, we’re here to help you take the first step towards a brighter future.
