Counselling for Anxiety and Depression

Caroline Ingram Counselling & Coaching

Anxiety feels like a constant state of tension, as if something terrible is about to happen—even when there's no clear reason why. A racing heart, shallow breaths, and a mind that won't stop spinning with worry.

Simple tasks feel overwhelming, and every decision carries the weight of potential disaster. There's a persistent sense of unease, a fear of losing control, and a struggle to relax, even in safe environments. Physically, it manifests as restlessness, dizziness, nausea, or trembling. Anxiety is exhausting—a relentless cycle of fear and self-doubt that makes it hard to find peace.

Counselling for Anxiety and Depression - How It Helps

If you're looking for a counsellor specialising in anxiety, know that seeking help is a strong and positive first step. Counselling for anxiety provides you with the tools and support to regain your emotional balance.

I offer anxiety counselling in a safe, confidential space either online or in person in Bedford where we can explore strategies to better understand and manage your symptoms, build resilience, and enhance your quality of life. By addressing anxiety through counselling, you can learn to navigate stress more effectively, reduce feelings of overwhelm, and regain a sense of calm.

Therapy can play a key role in helping you manage both anxiety and depression, offering guidance, compassionate support, and practical coping strategies. As a therapist specialising in anxiety, I can help you recognise and challenge anxious thought patterns, allowing you to reduce stress and increase emotional clarity.

Many people develop cycles of anxiety due to early experiences or past trauma. In counselling for anxiety, we explore how these past influences continue to affect your present emotions. By bringing unconscious fears to light, you can begin to process them in a healthier way and reduce their grip on your life.

Ready to Begin? Let's Talk

I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can express your fears without judgment. Talking through your anxious thoughts with a qualified therapist can help you gain clarity and develop healthier ways to cope.

I also teach practical relaxation techniques—like deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation—to help manage anxious feelings before they become overwhelming. Incorporating these tools into your routine can prevent escalating emotions and help you feel more in control.

If you're searching for a therapist specialising in anxiety in or around Bedford, I invite you to reach out.
