Counselling for Anxiety: A Compassionate Approach

Anxiety can feel like a constant hum in the background of life – sometimes quiet, sometimes overwhelming. It may show up as racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, or a sense of dread that’s hard to explain. For some, it leads to panic attacks: sudden waves of fear, breathlessness, and a pounding heart. You might find yourself saying, “I feel sick and my heart races,” or “I feel panicky”—and these experiences are very real.

At Counselling with Claire, we offer counselling for anxiety at the Manor Drive Medical Centre in Worcester Park that goes beyond surface-level symptom management. Our work is rooted in psychodynamic counselling, which gently explores the emotional patterns and unconscious processes that may be contributing to your anxiety.

Psychodynamic counselling helps you understand not just what you’re feeling, but why. It looks at how past experiences, relationships, and internal conflicts shape your present emotional world. You may feel like “I feel anxiety all the time” or “I am overthinking all the time”—and through a safe and consistent therapeutic relationship, you can begin to make sense of these feelings and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Anxiety is not something you have to “just live with.” Talking about it can be transformative. Counselling offers a space where you’re not judged, rushed, or expected to have all the answers. Instead, you’re supported in exploring your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

If you’re struggling with anxiety or panic attacks, know that help is available. Counselling for anxiety is a step toward clarity, calm, and emotional resilience. You don’t have to face it alone.

Counselling for Depression: A Space to Feel Understood

Depression can feel like a quiet weight that slowly builds – making everyday life harder to manage. It’s not just sadness; it can show up as fatigue, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of emotional numbness. You might find yourself thinking, “Why don’t I have any motivation?” or “I feel so sad and alone.” These thoughts are common, and they’re valid.

At Counselling with Claire, we offer counselling for depression at the Manor Drive Medical Centre in Worcester Park, where we provide a safe, confidential space to explore what you’re going through. Our approach is rooted in psychodynamic counselling, which gently helps you uncover the emotional patterns and unconscious processes that may be contributing to your low mood.

Psychodynamic counselling doesn’t offer quick fixes – it offers depth. It helps you understand how past experiences, relationships, and internal conflicts shape your present emotional life. If you’ve ever felt “I can’t see a way forward,” Counselling can help you begin to reconnect with hope and a sense of possibility.

Depression can also bring physical symptoms – like tension, disrupted sleep, or even panic attacks. These are real and valid experiences; talking about them can be a powerful step toward healing.

You don’t have to face depression alone. Counselling for depression is available to support you in finding clarity, emotional relief, and a renewed sense of self. At Counselling with Claire, you’ll be met with warmth, understanding, and a commitment to helping you move forward at your own pace.
