Anxiety – 5 tips to break free from anxiety symptoms:
Stuggling with anxiety? Recently I published my five top steps to break free from anxiety symptoms on the Daily Mail Online site.
So if you are currently battling those anxiety symptoms then take a look and put these steps into action right now.

Anxiety help success:
As many of you will know, many years ago I struggled with anxiety until I discovered how to move past it and leave it in the past.
And because I know how awful anxiety can make you feel, I absolutely love it when someone who initially came to see me feeling trapped in worry, anxiety and fear, leaves our sessions with a smile on their face and getting on with their life.
Recently Calum came to see me for help with his anxiety and below you can find his testimonial video about how good he feels now.
Anxiety Disorders and how to deal with anxiety:
According to a review led by the University of Cambridge into anxiety disorders, women and people under the age of 35 are at greatest risk of anxiety.
In fact, the review found that women are more than twice as likely as men to experience anxiety disorders.
The review also estimates that four in every one hundred people have anxiety – with more than 60 million people across the EU affected by anxiety disorders every year.
So what does this really tell us? It certainly doesn’t tell us more research is needed (as I’m sure will be suggested) and it certainly does imply, as I’ve suggested before, that relying on the current approach of dishing out anti-depressants and formulaic CBT therapy is unlikely to ever make inroads into the modern day epidemic of anxiety disorders.
And the research is pretty meaningless if you are one of the thousands of people struggling with anxiety. So what can you do to deal with your anxiety effectively?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder:
If you struggle with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) then you are likely to feel worried, anxious and on edge either constantly or for significant periods of time.
It’s like being stuck in a constant high level of anxiety. And no sooner has one thing you feel excessively anxious about resolved itself or passed, then the anxiety flows like a river into some other thoughts and worries.
And whilst we all worry and feel anxious from time to time, Generalized Anxiety Disorder means that the anxiety is excessive and prolonged over many months. You may feel out of control and exhausted with the ripples of anxiety affecting relationships, friendships and your career as well as impacting on your confidence, wellbeing and sleep.
How To Reduce Anxiety in Ely and Newmarket
Recently I wrote an article about the relentless persistence of anxiety and stress in the workplace. This followed the publication of workplace figures showing that 9.9 million days were lost in 2015 through stress, anxiety and depression.
This huge figure has remained fairly constant for over a decade, reflecting that current dependence on cognitive behavioural therapy and ever increasing use of anti-depressants is not tackling the issue.
Hot on the heels of this, BBC Cambridgeshire has revealed that the number of students being given help at Cambridge University because of mental health concerns has risen 43% since 2012.
And I am sure that the levels of anxiety, stress and other mental health concerns in other walks of life and areas won’t be too dissimilar from these. No wonder this is referred to as the ‘age of anxiety’.
So how to reduce anxiety is a hot topic that needs addressing and below are some ways to reduce anxiety and start feeling better quickly and effectively.
Help for anxiety in Newmarket, Suffolk:
As the anxiety management specialist in Newmarket, I wanted to share a couple of examples of the fantastic results that some of my clients have achieved.
Because whilst anxiety, worry and fear are all normal human reactions, often they can go into overdrive and start dominating your thoughts. Your mind fills with worst case scenarios and those dreaded what ifs. You start to feel restless, shaky, on edge and can’t think clearly. You worry that something is seriously wrong with you.
Yet anxiety doesn’t have to control your life – using the right methods you can soon take back control over it.
Social anxiety – 5 tips to overcome social anxiety.
Do you struggle with social anxiety? Whether it’s in your career, relationships or socially, social anxiety, with all that worry about what other people think or that they will judge you negatively in some way, along with all those inner thoughts and questions – such as “am I good enough, what if I make an idiot of myself or embarrass myself”, and so on – can really limit your life.
Whether you feel sick at the thought of public speaking, find excuses for social events or you push through and hope they are soon over, social anxiety can really limit your life, take away the enjoyment of meeting and connecting with people and the anxiety and worry can stop you doing things you want to do.
In this article, I’ll be covering how to deal with social anxiety and giving you 5 strategies that can help you overcome that panic and worry.
Help dealing with anxiety in Ely and Newmarket is one of the main things I succesfully help people resolve so that they can move from anxiety, panic and worry to feeling calm and in control.
As I’ve writen about before, anxiety levels remain high with millions of working days lost and an ever increasing volume of prescriptions for anti-anxiety medication being issued.
And anxiety can affect anyone – many clients will tell me that they are the last person anyone would think of as struggling with anxiety – whether that’s generalised anxiety or in a specific part of their life. So your anxiety can often be fueled by not knowing where it came from – or how to end that dreadful feeling of being stuck.
Many others think they know where their anxiety began or what contributes to it, yet that knowing still does not stop all those anxious feelings and thoughts.
And because of the huge impact that anxiety can have on you and your life, I am always delighted to help others succesfully break free of that weight and start feeling happier and more confident.

Stress and anxiety levels continue to affect people with latest figures showing that 9.9 million working days were lost in 2015 through stress, anxiety and depression.
The figures, published in the 2015 Labour Force Survey, show that stress, anxiety and depression accounted for 43 per cent of all working days lost due to ill health.
And these stark figures don’t even begin to scratch the surface of the often devastating impact on individuals and those around them.
With the level of workplace stress and anxiety remaining broadly constant for over a decade, it is evident that current initiatives are failing to help those who need the support the most.
