Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety and Overthinking, online with Avinii Taneja, Counselling Psychologist.
Yes, therapy can help with anxiety. With Avinii, you learn what keeps the worry going, practise skills that calm your body and mind, and slowly face what you have been avoiding, at your own pace.
What It Can Feel Like
Racing Thoughts
Replaying conversations, imagining the worst, struggling to switch off at night.
A Body on Alert
A tight chest, a fast heart, a knotted stomach, shallow breathing.
Avoiding Things
Skipping calls, plans or tasks because they feel too much.
Reassurance Loops
Checking, asking and re-reading, and still not feeling sure.
Panic Moments
Sudden waves of fear that seem to come from nowhere.
Always Tired
Worry is exhausting, even on days when nothing happens.
What Sessions Focus On
All of the work is trauma-informed and paced by you. Sessions are a place for support and exploration, not promises or quick fixes.
Understanding the Cycle
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps you see how a thought becomes a feeling, and a feeling becomes avoidance, so the loop starts to loosen.
Calming the Body
Breathing, grounding and somatic work give your nervous system a way to settle before the thoughts take over.
Small, Brave Steps
Together you plan gentle steps towards what you have been avoiding, at a pace that feels manageable.
Anxiety: Common Questions
Can therapy help with anxiety?+
Yes. Talk therapy, especially Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, is one of the most researched forms of support for anxiety. It helps you understand your patterns and build skills you can use on your own.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on what you are going through. Some people feel steadier after a handful of sessions, while others prefer longer support. You and Avinii review progress together and decide what fits.
Is online therapy effective for anxiety?+
For many people, yes. Being in your own space can make it easier to talk, and you skip the travel. If online is not right for you, Avinii will tell you honestly.
Do I need a diagnosis to start?+
No. You do not need a label or a referral. If something here feels familiar, that is enough to begin.
Will I have to take medication?+
Therapy does not involve medication. If a medical opinion could help, Avinii can suggest seeing a psychiatrist alongside therapy, and the choice stays yours.
