Most of my clients come to me at a moment of crisis or trauma in their lives. The coping strategies you may have used for years have often broken down and then maybe something too big to manage alone has come along. So you are coming to me for therapy, treatment or just help. The good news is that when we have finished you will look back on the crisis that brought you to me as a blessing in disguise. Once you have had anxiety treatment from a professional therapist, like me, you will understand the causes of your anxiety and we will have given you a set of tools and helped you to develop the resilience to cope with whatever life throws at you.<\/p>\n
Tree of Life Therapy is a private treatment service operating from a discreet location in Horsforth, Leeds. I use a combination of EMDR<\/a>, Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy<\/a> and Counselling<\/a>. This therapy combination will produce faster, stronger and long-lasting effects. See my services page for a more detailed description of how my anxiety therapy works.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worried-girl-413690_1920.jpg” alt=”anxiety therapy” title_text=”worried-girl-413690_1920″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”ef0879c5-074f-4bd8-9e9e-990874c9e6a3″ custom_padding=”31px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”aa00909f-57b3-41e2-b334-bcb73c9a0c16″ header_2_text_color=”#000000″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/woman-591576_1920.jpg” alt=”anxiety therapy” title_text=”woman-591576_1920″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”ef0879c5-074f-4bd8-9e9e-990874c9e6a3″ animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]There is no quick fix for anxiety and it will take work from both of us. Overcoming an anxiety disorder takes time and commitment. Therapy involves facing your fears rather than avoiding them. The important thing is to stick with it and commit to the treatment. If you start feeling discouraged with the pace of recovery, remember that therapy for anxiety is very effective in the long run. You\u2019ll reap the benefits if you see it through.<\/p>\n You can also support your own anxiety therapy by making positive choices. Everything from your activity level to your social life affects anxiety. Set the stage for success by making a conscious decision to promote relaxation, vitality, and a positive mental outlook in your everyday life. This may sound like an impossible thing right now but believe me, we will get there together Maybe you are dealing with past trauma or old painful feelings?<\/p>\n Maybe we are simply imagining things that aren\u2019t really true, inventing things that aren\u2019t really there?<\/p>\n Perhaps your life has become a burden, and you just can\u2019t seem to feel happy like you used to?<\/p>\n You may feel too stressed to keep up with daily duties and responsibilities?<\/p>\n You might feel like you want to run, to crawl into the corner, to escape to safety, to find solid ground again?<\/p>\n Yes, sometimes anxiety comes, unwanted and unexpected, instantly bringing a pounding heart, a racing mind, a feeling of sickness, a feeling of the ground falling out from under us.<\/p>\n When anxiety comes, in its all power, it can feel like \u201cSomething bad is going to happen!\u201d. Our thoughts may tell us that we are about to die, or pass out, or have a heart attack or stroke.

When in reality it’s only an unresolved trauma that is playing tricks on you making you imagine the worst-case scenarios.<\/p>\n In this case, we will address it and work to neutralise the negative emotions around the traumatic event. \u00a0It will result in illuminating the trigger and you eventually feeling calmer and at peace.<\/p>\n EMDR<\/strong>\u00a0in combination with psychotherapy is the great solution for faster and long-lasting results. \u00a0EMDR is the best therapy, in my opinion, highly recommended and used by NHS.
