Anxiety & Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders

Anxiety is a normal and adaptive response that helps us respond to challenges and perceived threats. However, when anxiety becomes persistent, excessive, or disproportionate to the situation, it can interfere with emotional well-being, relationships, work, academic performance, and everyday life. It may be experienced through excessive worry, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviours, persistent fear, or physical symptoms such as restlessness, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances.

Therapy aims to help you understand the patterns that maintain anxiety, challenge unhelpful thinking, gradually reduce avoidance, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical coping strategies that promote resilience, confidence, and psychological flexibility.
