Mind, Mood & Energy
A tight chest before anything has even happened, and a mind that will not put the day down. You do not have to explain it well to start talking about it.
How we approach it
Anxiety is not one thing, and that is usually why one approach has not worked. A nervous system that will not settle can be responding to a genuine stressor, or to sleep that has not been restorative for months, or to blood sugar swinging through the day, or to a thyroid or hormone picture nobody has looked at. So the first conversation here is about what has been happening rather than about which service to buy. From there, some people start with neurofeedback, which works directly with the nervous system rather than through talking. Others start with lab work, because a result on paper often explains something that has felt inexplicable. Many do both, in whichever order makes sense. What we will not do is put you on a protocol before anyone has understood what is actually going on, and if what you need is a counsellor or a physician, we will say so.
Where people usually start
Which of these makes sense depends on what the first conversation turns up. You do not have to choose one now.
Works directly with the nervous system rather than through conversation — four different approaches, including sessions where you simply sit.
Looks at thyroid, adrenal and blood-sugar patterns that can drive anxiety symptoms from underneath.
A technique you learn once and can use anywhere, without equipment.
Because blood sugar that swings through the day feels a great deal like anxiety.
No. Most people who come in for this describe how they feel rather than name a condition, and that is a perfectly good place to begin. You will not be asked to justify why you are here.
No, and we would not frame it that way. What happens here sits alongside whatever else you are doing, and we are not the people to advise you on medication — that conversation belongs with the prescriber who knows your history. If what you need is a counsellor, we will tell you.
A conversation. You describe what has been going on, we ask questions, and together you leave with a starting point rather than a package. Nothing is decided before someone has listened.
Not sure this is the right page?
Most people arrive with a symptom rather than a service in mind, and more than one of these pages will often sound familiar. That is normal — the concerns overlap because the body does. Browse all fifteen, or just call and describe it. You do not have to arrive with the right words.
