Mental Health Issues

Our experienced professional counsellors are trained in a variety of proven and complementary techniques for treating mental health issues. Some of the more common mental conditions we treat are listed below. If you have or think you may have one of these conditions, please don't hesitate to get in touch for a confidential discussion.

Mood Disorders

Someone with a mood disorder regularly experiences feelings of sadness, hopelessness, lethargy, guilt, shame, and/or the urge to self harm. In cases of bipolar disorders, they also experience extreme mood swings, alternating between depressive "lows" and manic "highs".

The most commonly diagnosed mood disorders are:

• Depression
• Dysthymia
• Bipolar Disorder
  

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are characterised by persistent feelings of fear, worry, tension, and unease that interfere with normal life and social functioning.

Common anxiety disorders include:

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Panic Attacks
• Phobias
  

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious illnesses with dire psychological, social, and physical health consequences. Symptoms may include engaging in severe caloric restriction, binging, and/or purging. Body image distortion is another frequent symptom.

Among the most well-known eating disorders are:

• Anorexia nervosa
• Bulimia nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder
  

Compulsions

An compulsion is a health condition in which someone is dependent on a substance or behaviour. Substance compulsion and behavioural compulsions can often centre around:

• Alcohol
• Sex
• Gambling
  

Anger Issues

Although anger is a normal, healthy emotion, it is not always easy or straightforward to manage. Common anger issues include becoming angry very easily, overreacting, and feeling out of control when angry. Some people may also find it difficult to express their anger, feel the need to hide it, or experience anger as the result of unresolved hurt.

Stress

Everyone experiences moments of stress, but stress that goes on for weeks or months isn't normal. Chronic stress puts you at heightened risk for health problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Symptoms include fatigue, headaches, difficulty concentrating, digestion problems, muscle aches, and loss of sexual drive and/or function.
