Anxiety
Anxiety is usually characterised by feelings of worry, general unease and apprehension in light of past or future events. Sleep is often hard to come by, which can exacerbate feelings of dizziness, irritability and a general sense of foreboding.
Anxiety may be due to a bout of mental illness or concern about the state of one’s life. Sufferers may feel overwhelmed and panicky, so in therapy, sufferers are helped to develop coping mechanisms. Talking therapy, mindfulness, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and hypnosis can all be useful. In the short to medium term, additional medication may also help.
Depression
If you are feeling lethargic and sad for days or months at a time online depression counselling can help you talk through struggles, and work on suitable treatments.
Feeling down or mild depression affects most people from time to time. For sufferers of more severe depression, this sadness can affect almost every part of their daily lives and for months at a time. Depression is not a sign of weakness or something to simply “snap out of”.
Online depression therapy offers support to those who are suffering. An understanding therapist can guide sufferers towards the right path of recovery in a nurturing and caring environment. Talking therapy, mindfulness and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) are all useful and may be used in conjunction with medication such as antidepressants.
Anger Management
Uncontrollable anger is a problem for the sufferer them self, those in their environment and especially for those in a close relationship with them. While anger itself is a normal emotion, overly aggressive, violent or threatening behaviour is both a personal and a social problem, which frequently leads to relationship breakdowns, legal difficulties and the inability to fully function as a member of society
Those who suffer with anger management issues often use their anger as a façade to hide their own feelings. Anger is frequently turned inwards, so that while a person seems normal enough on the outside, on the inside they may be distraught about personal issues and the state of their world. Internal anger management has powerful knock-on effects such as personal loathing, addiction and eating disorders, which may lead sufferers to self-harm.
Anger is a disruptive emotion that affects the ability to think clearly. Frequent and uncontrollable anger can lead to impulsive and erratic behaviour. Therapy helps people find the root cause of anger so that the sufferer can develop methods to predict, understand and control outbursts. In this way, true anger management becomes possible.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) – is a condition that makes it difficult for people to control their responses. ADHD often manifests itself in early childhood and has wide-ranging effects. People may suffer from a lack of attentiveness, persistent restlessness or display involuntary physical ticks
Treatment can be entirely therapeutic or a combination of therapy and medication. Medication provides a temporary fix and extra support while therapy helps sufferers work towards a more permanent cure.
Therapy usually involves behaviour management. Where children are involved, a reward-based system is often established to encourage a child to control their ADHD. With adults, rewards are more intrinsic and geared towards achieving life goals and consistent victories over the effects of ADHD.
