Anxiety and How Therapy Can Help
Everyone feels anxious sometimes — but if worry, panic, or fear are affecting your daily life, you might be experiencing an anxiety problem. At Hampstead Psychology, we offer evidence-based therapy to help you manage anxiety, feel more in control, and reconnect with the life you want to live.
What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is your body’s alarm system — but sometimes, that alarm gets stuck in the “on” position. It can be triggered by specific situations or feel like it comes from nowhere.
You might experience:
-
Racing heart, chest tightness, or shortness of breath
-
Constant worry or dread
-
Difficulty relaxing or switching off
-
Avoiding certain people, places, or situations
-
Trouble sleeping or concentrating
-
Panic attacks
Anxiety is not a personal weakness — it’s a common, treatable mental health difficulty.

How therapy for anxiety helps
We tailor treatment to each individual, drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to reduce anxious thoughts and behaviours
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to help you stop fighting anxiety and start living alongside it
-
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – to calm the inner critic and soothe your nervous system
In anxiety therapy, we’ll help you:
-
Understand how anxiety works in the brain and body
-
Break the cycle of worry and avoidance
-
Develop coping tools that actually work
-
Build confidence in your ability to face fear and move forward
