Anxiety, phobia of panic
Everyone feels anxious sometimes, it is a normal emotion. But … when that anxiety is really strong or lasts too long, it can seriously bother you in your daily life. You can experience anxiety in different ways, ranging from constant unrest to moments of intense panic. It also affects your behavior. You may be avoiding situations or drowning out your fear with anger. Alternatively, you may have developed habits that still give you a sense of control (but don’t help you much).
Perhaps you have developed a phobia, such as fear of spiders, heights or flying. Even though you realise that you are not in danger and that you do not have to be afraid, you still cannot let go of that specific fear.
Or maybe you suffer from panic attacks. When having an attack, you suddenly feel an intense fear, your heart starts beating faster, your breathing quickens and you start sweating, and all you can think is ‘I have to get out of here!’ These kinds of experiences can be so overwhelming that you become afraid of the fear itself.
The good news is: we can do something about it. With the right guidance, you can learn to understand your anxiety and handle it differently. This way, you can regain control over your life and experience more peace and freedom. Want to know how? Get in touch and discover what steps you can take towards a freer and more peaceful life.
Therapy for anxiety, phobia or panic
Anxiety can make you avoid certain situations or only face them if someone is with you. When it starts affecting your social life, daily activities, or even prevents you from going to work or school, it’s time to take action. You don’t have to go through this alone—help is available.
During our first consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your situation, your anxiety symptoms, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of your anxiety and what might be keeping it going or making it worse. From there, we’ll determine the best approach to help you overcome it.
Depending on your experiences, your personal situation, and the changes you want to make, we’ll use specific methods tailored to your needs. Throughout the process, we’ll discuss which techniques work best for you. I work with EMDR therapy, hypnotherapy, and exposure therapy. If hyperventilation is a factor, I also use Buteyko breathing therapy to help you regain control of your breathing and reduce anxiety symptoms.
From anxiety, phobia or panic to feeling safe
This therapy process is designed to help you take control of your anxiety, reduce its impact, and improve your daily life. Together, we will explore what your fear means to you and what you need to feel safe. By working on shifting thought patterns and behaviors, you will learn how to create a sense of security for yourself.
Most therapy journeys take between six to twelve sessions and follow these phases:
- Intake
In our first phase, we will explore the nature of your fear—what triggers it and how it affects your daily life. We will also look into possible underlying causes. - Increasing self-awareness
Through guided conversations and exercises, you will gain insight into how your thoughts, habits, and behaviors contribute to maintaining your anxiety. We will examine the perceived threats you experience and any avoidance or safety behaviors you have developed in response. - Gradual exposure and practice
Step by step, you will begin practicing facing difficult situations in a safe and controlled way. Initially, we will do this in our sessions — using visualization techniques, hypnosis, or specific EMDR methods. Then, you will gradually apply what you have learned in real-life situations. Throughout this phase, we will discuss your experiences, emotions, and any new insights that emerge. - Reflection and moving forward
In the final phase, we will reflect on your progress and what you have learned—both in managing your emotions and reshaping your thoughts about fear and risk. We will also discuss how to maintain your sense of security moving forward, taking into account any sensitivities or vulnerabilities you may have. The goal is to equip you with the tools to continue feeling strong, resilient, and in control.
