Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can feel sudden and overwhelming, bringing intense fear alongside physical symptoms such as a racing heart, dizziness, breathlessness or a sense of losing control. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive space to understand what may be triggering these experiences and explore the thoughts and feelings surrounding them. Recover Therapy can help you recognise patterns, develop practical coping strategies and work towards feeling calmer, safer and more confident in everyday life.

When Fear Takes Over

A panic attack can happen unexpectedly, sometimes without an obvious reason, and the intensity of the experience can make you worry about when another might happen. This fear can begin to affect everyday life, leading you to avoid certain places, situations or activities because you associate them with previous attacks.

Over time, worrying about panic itself can create a cycle of anxiety and avoidance. Understanding this cycle and recognising how your thoughts, feelings and physical responses are connected can be an important step towards reducing the impact panic attacks have on your life.

Understanding Your Triggers

Panic attacks do not always have an obvious trigger, but stress, difficult experiences, particular situations or patterns of anxious thinking can sometimes play a part. Counselling can help you explore what may be contributing to your panic, recognise early signs and develop practical techniques to manage difficult feelings when they arise.
