Anxiety Counselling in Merstham
There may be times in life where you feel that you are on your own, and you put a brave face on because you don't want to burden others for fear that they won't understand what you're going through.
The type of counselling I provide is grounded in Psychodynamic roots, which means we not only explore what has initially brought you to counselling, but also your past history. This means we'll gently explore your childhood relationships and experiences, to see if any links arise which may be unconsciously impacting your present situation.

I am a qualified, experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist with experience in a wide range of issues from depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, anger and bereavement.
I work with adults on a one to one basis taking a Psychodynamic approach which recognises that present difficulties may stem from earlier life experiences.

We seek psychological help for many reasons. Not only can psychological therapy help when life feels intolerably difficult, but it can also make an “ok” life more fulfilling. Therapy can help to reduce emotional suffering, support change, and promote personal growth. It is a collaborative process and the insight gained can help us look at life from a different perspective and enable us to respond differently to life’s challenges. People often seek support when they are facing life transitions or feel stuck in their lives.

I'm Andrei, an NHS-trained, BABCP-accredited CBT therapist experienced in working with adults affected by low mood and anxiety.
When your mental health gets worse, everyday life can feel much harder than it should. You might notice your sleep is affected, you‘re more critical with yourself, or your mind feels constantly busy with overthinking. Many people feel stuck after a change or loss, struggling to adapt and feeling they’re not themselves anymore. This can show up as low mood or worrying that feels hard to switch off, alongside feeling overwhelmed, withdrawn, or unsure how to move forward. You may feel like you’re just getting through the day, with little space left for enjoyment, meaning, connection, and unsure whether therapy would really help.

We may explore your history applying a psychodynamic lens, or apply mindfulness and behavioural techniques (like DBT) for real-world change depending on what serves you best in resolving issues such as grief, anxiety, or relational and workplace stress.
I believe therapy is a collaborative experiment aimed at tangibly and enduringly improving the quality of your life. Success often begins by formulating the right questions. As an experienced assessor and case manager, I excel at fostering curiosity to connect seemingly disparate threads in your story. This process creates new understanding and provides space to address the challenges we often keep hidden—unpacking them with more care and honesty than day-to-day life typically allows. In this, I follow a person-centred foundation that prioritises safety and careful listening.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
