Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. It’s an ongoing condition characterized by excessive, long-term worry and fear about everyday situations. While feeling anxious occasionally is a normal part of life, people with anxiety disorders find it hard to control their worries. This can lead to physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, and even panic attacks.
Anxiety can also affect a person’s ability to concentrate, sleep, and engage in daily activities. Seeking support from mental health professionals and implementing coping strategies can greatly help individuals with anxiety disorders manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
Symptoms of anxiety can pervade every aspect of life, making each day a challenge. The symptoms include:
Restlessness: A feeling of being on edge.
Fatigue: Constant tiredness and lack of energy.
Concentration Issues: Difficulty focusing on tasks.
Irritability: Easily annoyed or angered.
Muscle Tension: Persistent muscle discomfort.
Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling or staying asleep.
Panic Attacks: Sudden episodes of intense fear.
Social Avoidance: Avoiding social situations due to fear.
With our counselling services, manage these symptoms and embark on the journey to well-being.
Various factors might contribute to anxiety, including:
Genetic Predispositions: Family history of mental health conditions.
Brain Chemistry: Neurochemical imbalance in the brain.
Personality: Certain personality types are more prone to anxiety.
Life Events: Traumatic or stressful events.
Medical Factors: Underlying health conditions or medication side effects.

Poli is truly a gifted and extraordinary visionary. Her humble character truly is an outstanding quality. Poli has a unique approach of being able to pinpoint the problem quickly and lead the individual to clarity and deep awareness. My personal experience has been enlightening and enabled me to shift through deep emotional blocks quickly. I rarely use the word Guru, yet in this case I would describe Poli as an enlightened Guru of soul blueprints, who truly is servants heart for those seeking deep insights and emotional healing. |

I have been searching for years for a genuine counsellor that has the knowledge and expertise that Poli has. She is as genuine as they come, tells it as is it and has the knowledge to back it up while still remaining caring and compassionate. I feel very lucky to have been supported by Poli at a time when it made a world of difference. I feel like I owe her so much. Thank you for everything Poli, your support has meant more than you will ever know. We need more people like this in the world. |

Poli is an extraordinary woman with an amazing ability to read people and their needs. The way in which Poli communicates with people is calming and reassuring, while always encouraging you to live your best life with new and wonderful skills. 🙂 |
Bevan East | |
I’ve been a patient here for a few years, particularly of the psychology department with Poli. To say I have found it extremely beneficial is an understatement. I have developed skills and an understanding of myself that is difficult to describe. But has had a monumental impact on my life. Starting out with high levels of anxiety and depression, my ability to control my emotions and harness abilities more effectively has seen positive aspects in my social life, relationships, work life and studies. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to solve their problems, improve their life and or more effectively and efficiently communicate. |
