Issues

Anger

Anger is a normal human emotion and can even be useful at times if channeled in a helpful way. However, when it becomes strong, frequent and lasts for a long time it can have a major impact upon relationships, studies, work and our general wellbeing. For these cases, we offer expert anger management therapy online. Anger therapy or CBT Therapy, delivered by a trained psychologist or therapist might be what you need to help you manage such a powerful emotion in a way which is not harmful. In this page you can find helpful information about anger issues and make a booking to start making a lasting positive change.

Low Self-esteem

We all sometimes feel insecure and unconfident. We may feel like all the other people are somehow better and that we are intrinsically bad. Low self-esteem is often an essential aspect of numerous psychological issues such as anxiety or depression. It’s a common symptom that can appear in various contexts, and no one is immune to it.

Low self-esteem is synonymous with lack of self-confidence. These expressions describe the feelings of low self-worth associated with shame and guilt. We feel ashamed for some of the bad things we did in the past. But very often, we’re too harsh with, and unreasonably undervalue, ourselves.

Self-esteem treatment helps you interpret and understand low self-esteem and find practical solutions across various situations – for example, by becoming more assertive with your managers and family. Self-esteem therapies like CBT effect a broad behavioural change, in a relatively short time, by helping you tackle unhelpful beliefs and coping related to low self-worth.

Panic attacks

Panic attacks can be a scary experience, where fear overwhelms you and anxiety symptoms suddenly peak, leaving you feeling out of control. These sudden attacks, though short-lived, can have profound effects on your daily life, influencing your work, relationships, and personal time. If you find yourself constantly worried about the possibility of the next panic attack, especially without any clear triggers, you might be facing panic disorder – a mental health condition that goes beyond the occasional anxiety spike.

Relationship difficulties

Having healthy relationships with others – be it friends, family, colleagues, or significant others – provides us with so many benefits, and is so important for our mental health and wellbeing. As we are all unique, it is impossible for us to agree with everyone on everything, and so naturally, relationship difficulties and tensions can sometimes occur. However, experiencing frequent or intense conflict in your relationships with others is a real and serious, but common issue, that can affect many aspects of your daily life, without you even realising it.

Stress

Stress is synonymous with our modern lifestyle. Feeling under pressure, tension, and nervousness, are some of its side effects. Concentration problems, feeling on the verge of collapse, and intense anxiety affect millions of people worldwide due to stress.

It’s now more important than ever to discuss stress counselling and how you can start reducing the amount of stress you are experiencing. This is not something you should hide or ignore, as stress tends to accumulate. If left unchecked, you increase your chances to develop more serious psychological issues.

Bereavement / Grief

Losing someone or something you love can be a very challenging and emotionally draining event. Sooner or later this will happen to all of us, which means grief, loss and bereavement are a normal component of our lives. If you are feeling stuck and unable to cope with anger, sadness, guilt or feeling numb, bereavement counselling can help you process these emotions and work through your grief.

Low mood / Depression

One in five people feel stuck in a loop of sadness, hopelessness and helplessness. When we feel like this, it is normal to become more withdrawn. For example, rejecting invitations, spending hours in bed and feeling lonely. Similarly, wondering whether we’re good enough or if we will ever feel happy again. We do this because we feel vulnerable. If this is what you are experiencing, and it has lasted for several weeks, it might be important to seek depression counselling. In turn, with the help of a depression therapist using CBT Therapy for sadness or other psychotherapy approaches for depression and low mood, you have a chance to beat the blues, break negative patterns of thinking and behaving and rediscover the beauty in your everyday life.

Perfectionism

Do you struggle with self-criticism, fear of failure, or difficulty in “calling it a day”? These could be signs of perfectionism, a persistent pursuit of flawlessness that affects not only you, but also those around you.

Perfectionism can take the form of demanding absolute perfection from yourself and others, leading to negative impacts on relationships. In therapy, we’ll delve into how your perfectionistic tendencies affect your relationships and work towards finding a healthier balance.

Perfectionism may seem attractive, but it can ultimately hinder your work efficiency and productivity by draining your energy, enthusiasm, and optimism, which are crucial for success in any field.

Discover how therapy for perfectionism can help you find balance and achieve your goals. Our therapists focus on your beliefs and unhelpful demands, leading to more realistic and achievable goals, increased happiness, and improved work efficiency and productivity.

Social Anxiety

Social Anxiety Disorder (also known as Social Phobia) can be a serious and debilitating condition affecting your ability to interact effectively with the people in your life. At work, with family, friends and in the intimate arena, Social Anxiety can prevent you from expressing yourself,  communicating effectively and achieving your goals and full potential. It’s like living with the handbrake pulled. Social Anxiety can affect your mind and body, transforming social contexts in situations you dread and wish to avoid.

This is an issue that affects more people than you think, but it can stop, and therapy is often the most effective answer. Read more to learn about Social Anxiety Disorder and how therapy and CBT can help you treat this debilitating condition and bring confidence and serenity to your social interactions.

Worry / Anxiety

Dealing with an anxiety issue on your own can be challenging. If left unchecked, anxiety can become a debilitating issue making us feel as if we are no longer in control of our lives. In these situations seeking anxiety therapy can be the answer. At Expert Therapy, we use evidence-based interventions, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), to help individuals deal with the symptoms and causes of anxiety and enable them to live the life they want.
