Anxiety Counselling in Belfast
In my private practice I help support young people and adults with issues including anxiety, depression, friendships, family problems, confusion with identity, and support after ADHD diagnosis.
Are you struggling to cope with a significant event or change in your life? Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing, and speaking to friends and family can often be too difficult. Talking to a neutral counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I have worked as a counsellor with Cruse Bereavement, helped navigate suicidal ideation in Pips, and completed Relate training to help with relationship difficulties and better understanding of emotions and old relational patterns. I am an integrative therapist and a member of BACP.

You might come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted—perhaps from difficult relationships, addictions, low mood, anxiety, or years of holding yourself together.
Humans live with a tension: we’re alone in our inner world yet we need connection to thrive. Hurtful or confusing relationships and the pressures of modern life can leave us adapting in ways that once protected us but now keep us stuck, disconnected, or exhausted. Therapy begins when something in you asks for a truer, more aligned way of being.

It can be a huge step to decide to talk to a counsellor/psychotherapist about personal issues so it is important to find someone you are comfortable with, who will not judge you but accept you for who you are. I offer office based and/or telephone therapy. The relationship between therapist and patient is fundamentally important. I liken psychotherapy to being in a clothing shop changing room where we get a unique view of ourselves from all angles. Likewise therapy is about helping someone to glimpse and explore hidden parts of themselves or just helping them make sense of their distress.

Anxiety Counsellors
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.
