Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
If you often feel overwhelmed by constant worry or struggle to relax even when things seem fine, you may be experiencing Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This common anxiety condition affects many people and can have a significant impact on daily life.
Understanding Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
GAD is a long-term anxiety condition that involves persistent, excessive worry about everyday matters. It can affect focus, sleep, confidence, and overall emotional wellbeing. These worries often feel difficult to control and can occur even when there’s no clear reason to feel anxious.
Our therapy services are tailored specifically for adults living with anxiety. With the right support, it is entirely possible to manage symptoms, reduce daily stress, and regain a greater sense of calm and control. Therapy is available both in person and online, depending on your preference.
Why Consider Talking Therapy for GAD?
Talking therapy is a highly effective approach for managing Generalised Anxiety Disorder. At Resilient Wellbeing Clinic, we provide tailored psychological therapy to help individuals understand the root of their anxiety and develop healthier responses to stress. Therapy is particularly valuable in addressing the unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that tend to fuel long-term anxiety.
Our skilled psychologists work collaboratively with clients to reduce symptoms and build practical skills. Therapy provides the tools and emotional support necessary to process triggers, manage uncertainty, and foster long-term emotional stability.
Symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder
GAD symptoms can vary from person to person, but they often include both psychological and physical signs. Persistent anxiety may affect every aspect of life and is more than just occasional worrying or stress.
Excessive worry: Frequent, uncontrollable worrying about a wide range of events or activities
Restlessness or feeling "on edge"
Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
Irritability and muscle tension
Disturbed sleep: Trouble falling or staying asleep, or unsatisfying sleep
Physical symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, stomach discomfort, or a racing heart
Recognising these symptoms is the first step towards getting the right help and learning how to manage anxiety more effectively.
How GAD Affects Daily Life
Living with Generalised Anxiety Disorder can be exhausting and isolating. The constant stream of worry can interfere with decision-making, reduce confidence, and strain personal and professional relationships. Even enjoyable activities may feel overshadowed by what-if scenarios and inner tension.
Therapy provides a structured and supportive space to understand the patterns behind anxiety and explore healthier coping strategies. Learning how to recognise triggers and respond differently can make a significant difference in improving everyday life.
Therapy for Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Therapy for GAD helps individuals break the cycle of anxious thinking and develop practical tools to manage their emotions. Our experienced psychologists employ evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to support clients in challenging unhelpful thoughts, reducing worry, and building emotional resilience.
Sessions are always tailored to the client’s pace and goals. Therapy empowers individuals to better manage uncertainty, reduce physical tension, and feel more grounded and in control, whether in person or through our secure online sessions.
