Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent, it can interfere with daily functioning and emotional well-being.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety involves feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease about future events or uncertain outcomes. While occasional anxiety is normal, ongoing anxiety may require attention.

When Should You Seek Support?

If anxiety affects sleep, work, relationships, or overall quality of life, professional counselling can help individuals develop effective coping strategies.

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it is a step toward self-care and resilience.

Counselling provides a confidential space to explore emotions, gain perspective, and work toward emotional balance.
