I often see clients experiencing anxiety (including separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalised worrying & rumination and panic). Initial sessions explore collaboratively the issues and associated factors, include screening/assessment and intervention strategies. Cognitive & educational assessments may occur over more than one session, involve interviews, assessment, report and feedback.
