Anxiety and Panic

Anxiety is a normal human response to a fearful situation, although our mind sometimes brings us the idea of fear, causing the body to bring uncomfortable anxious symptoms, when there may be limited reason to be fearful. Learn how to harness anxiety and get it working well for you whilst you remain in control of the situation. If you are finding anxiety is controlling your daily activities, is waking you at night or you experience panic then we advise seeking advice online and through your GP or Local Mental Health Services.
