Understanding Anxiety.

Anxiety can look different for everyone. Common signs include:

  • Racing thoughts or constant “what if” thinking
  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
  • Physical symptoms like a pounding heart, sweating, tight chest or nausea
  • Avoidance of situations that feel overwhelming
  • Feeling tense, restless or easily startled

Anxiety isn’t simply “nerves.” It’s the body’s alarm system working on overdrive. Therapy helps adults recognise what fuels anxiety and develop healthier ways of responding.

How Therapy Helps.

At Unbound Minds, we use evidence-based therapies to help adults understand and manage anxiety in ways that fit their life.

Support can include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifies unhelpful thought patterns and builds more balanced perspectives.
  • Exposure Therapy: Gradual, supported steps to face feared situations with less avoidance.
  • Mindfulness and Relaxation Strategies: Practical tools to calm the body and quiet the mind.
  • Emotion Regulation Skills: Teaches ways to manage stress before it escalates.
  • Problem-Solving Tools: Builds confidence to handle challenges without anxiety taking over.
  • Strengths-Based Identity Work: Encourages people to see themselves as resilient and capable, not defined by their anxiety.

Your Questions, Answered.

Living with anxiety can feel exhausting, and many people find themselves searching for clear, practical information. Below are some of the most common questions adults ask us about anxiety and how therapy at Unbound Minds can help.

How does Unbound Minds support adults with anxiety?

We use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches to help you recognise anxious thoughts, reduce avoidance, and build coping strategies that fit into daily life.

Do you only focus on symptoms, or do you explore the bigger picture?

Both. We address the immediate challenges anxiety creates — like worry, panic, or sleeplessness — while also exploring the underlying patterns and triggers that keep anxiety going.

How do I know if my anxiety is more than everyday stress?

Stress is a natural response to life’s pressures. Anxiety may be more than this if it feels constant, is hard to control, or stops you from doing things you value, such as working, socialising, or sleeping well.

What can I expect in therapy for anxiety?

Sessions are collaborative and practical. We’ll explore what anxiety looks like for you, map out goals, and work through strategies step by step. You’ll leave with tools you can apply in real situations, not just in the therapy room.

Can therapy help if I’ve been anxious for years?

Yes. Anxiety can be long-standing, but that does not mean it cannot be managed. Therapy provides new ways of understanding and responding to anxiety, even if you’ve lived with it for a long time.
