Generalised Anxiety Disorder

Structured, evidence-based support for persistent, wide-ranging worry — delivered by a BABCP accredited therapist and NMC registered mental health nurse, at a pace that respects where you are.

Understanding GAD

Worry that won't switch off. Support that helps it quieten.

Generalised Anxiety Disorder is persistent, wide-ranging worry that spreads across many areas of life at once — rather than being tied to one specific trigger. It can feel constant, exhausting, and hard to explain to people who haven't experienced it.

Treatment is led personally by Arlene Alexander-Price — an NMC registered mental health nurse since 2004 and a BABCP accredited therapist of close to two decades' standing — most often through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailored to the worry patterns keeping you stuck.

Signs & Symptoms

Signs You May Recognise

GAD doesn't usually attach itself to one problem — it moves between them. Worry about work becomes worry about health, becomes worry about money, often within the same afternoon.

Because it's so wide-ranging, it's often mistaken for just being "a worrier" rather than something that can actually be treated and eased.

Select each one to read more — recognising the pattern is often the first step toward doing something about it.

Worry that runs across many areas of life at once — work, health, family, money — and feels hard to switch off, most days for six months or more.

A constant sense of being keyed up, unable to settle, or waiting for something to go wrong.

Tight shoulders, headaches, an upset stomach, or a racing heart — anxiety often shows up in the body before it's named in the mind.

A mind that jumps between worries, making it hard to focus, finish tasks, or hold a train of thought.

Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking with your mind already racing through the day ahead.

A shorter fuse than usual, often alongside the exhaustion of carrying constant, low-grade worry.

How It Works

What Treatment Involves

Three stages, kept simple and paced around you.

1

Initial Consultation

A first conversation to understand how worry is affecting you, and confirm the right approach.

2

CBT-Led Sessions

Focused, up to 60-minute sessions, building practical tools to interrupt and manage worry.

3

Review & Sustain

Regular check-ins, ending with a clear plan to keep worry manageable long after therapy ends.
