Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety is something that everyone experiences at some point in their life. In fact In the UK, 4 million people, or 6% of the population are affected by generalised anxiety disorder. Anxiety is a feeling of unease, worry, excessive fear or panic, and this leads to behavioural disturbances.

Depression Support

Depression is a common mental health condition that can happen to anyone. Depression can cause a person to feel low in their mood, and this can last for weeks, months and in some cases years. The WHO has projected that depression will rank as the leading cause of burden of disease worldwide by 2030.

OCD Treatment

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition that occurs when someone enters a cycle of obsessive thoughts, and compulsions. Obsessions are repetitive and persistent thoughts, images or impulses/urges that are intrusive, unwanted and are commonly associated with anxiety.
