Anxiety and depression are among the most common reasons people seek support, and they’re very treatable. You don’t need to wait until things feel unmanageable to reach out.

You might notice

• Constant worry, racing thoughts or feeling on edge
• Panic attacks, or avoiding situations that make you anxious
• Low mood, emptiness or losing interest in things you used to enjoy
• Changes in sleep, appetite or energy
• Harsh self-criticism, or feeling stuck and hopeless
• Difficulty concentrating, or pulling away from people

How therapy can help

Zohreh works with you to understand what keeps anxiety or low mood going, and what has helped you cope so far. Together you’ll build practical skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings, and reconnect with what matters to you. Sessions draw on evidence-based approaches, including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Schema Therapy
• DBT skills
• Narrative Therapy

Each person’s experience is different, so sessions are tailored to your story, your goals and your pace.
