ANXIETY
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, danger or uncertainty. It can be a helpful and protective response that prepares us to deal with difficult situations. However, when anxiety becomes persistent or excessive, it can interfere with our ability to function and enjoy life. If you are experiencing anxiety, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. At Berwick Psychology, we offer evidence-based therapies that can help you manage your anxiety and regain control over your life.
At Berwick Psychology, we are trained to use a variety of evidence-based therapies depending on the needs of the the client. These can include:

At Berwick Psychology, we are trained to use a variety of evidence-based therapies depending on the needs of the the client. These can include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a goal-oriented, evidence-based form of therapy that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. It focuses on developing practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage anxiety.
- Exposure Therapy: Exposure therapy is a type of therapy that involves gradually exposing individuals to the situations or triggers that cause anxiety, in a safe and controlled environment. This approach can help individuals develop coping strategies to manage their anxiety and reduce their fear response.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapies: Mindfulness-based therapies, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), help individuals to develop mindfulness skills to manage anxiety. This involves learning to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment, and focusing on the present moment.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Psychodynamic therapy is a form of therapy that explores the unconscious thoughts and emotions that contribute to anxiety. It helps individuals to understand the root causes of their anxiety and develop coping strategies to manage it.
- Schema Therapy: This therapy aims to identify and change negative patterns and beliefs that have developed over time, often as a result of childhood experiences. By identifying and modifying these patterns, individuals can reduce anxiety and other emotional disturbances.
- Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy that uses hypnosis to help individuals overcome anxiety. During hypnosis, individuals are guided into a state of deep relaxation where they can access their subconscious mind to uncover and address the root causes of their anxiety.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was originally developed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder, but has since been found to be effective for a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety. DBT focuses on teaching individuals coping skills to manage difficult emotions and stressful situations.
