CBT Therapy for Worry and Generalised Anxiety Disorder in Leicester and Online Across the UK

Persistent worry can sometimes be linked to Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), but not always. Many people find their mind jumps from one concern to another and struggles to switch off, even when things seem fine on the surface. Therapy can help you understand what is driving the worry and learn ways to respond differently. 

Yes, CBT can be very effective for overthinking and ongoing worry. It can help you notice patterns such as catastrophising, constant “what if” thinking and seeking reassurance. Therapy focuses on helping you step out of these cycles so your thoughts feel less overwhelming. 

GAD can look different for everyone, but common symptoms include excessive worry, racing thoughts, feeling on edge, difficulty relaxing, poor sleep, irritability, muscle tension and struggling to concentrate. Some people also notice physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea or feeling constantly tired. 

Yes, we offer online therapy across the UK as well as in-person sessions in Leicester and Leicestershire. Online therapy can be a flexible option if you have a busy schedule, travel frequently or simply feel more comfortable speaking from home. 

This depends on your goals, how long the worry has been affecting you and whether there are other difficulties involved. Some people benefit from short-term support, while others need longer-term therapy. This can be discussed during your free consultation so you have a clearer idea of what support may look like. 

That’s completely okay. You do not need a formal diagnosis to seek therapy. Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck in worry, overthinking or anxiety and want support understanding what is happening. We can explore this together and help you decide what approach feels right. 

Yes, ongoing worry often affects both the mind and body. You may notice symptoms such as a racing heart, muscle tension, stomach issues, poor sleep or feeling constantly on edge. Therapy can help you understand these symptoms and develop practical ways to manage them.
