Anxiety Counselling in Croydon
Anxiety can affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships and everyday life in different ways. If anxiety is becoming difficult to manage, having a confidential space to talk about what you are experiencing can help you begin to understand your feelings and the patterns surrounding them.
Care To Listen provides affordable anxiety counselling in Croydon for people looking for professional, accessible support. As a registered counselling charity, we offer low-cost anxiety counselling through a diverse team of qualified and trainee counsellors.
You can access counselling for anxiety in person at our Addiscombe practice in Croydon or online via a secure platform. Our aim is to give you a safe, respectful and non-judgemental environment where you can talk openly and explore what you are experiencing at your own pace.
How Can Counselling for Anxiety Support You?
Anxiety is not necessarily experienced in the same way by everyone. You may be looking for support with a particular situation or find that anxious thoughts and feelings are affecting several areas of your life.
Anxiety therapy gives you dedicated time to explore those experiences rather than having to work through them alone. Counselling can provide an opportunity to consider what may be contributing to how you feel, recognise patterns and develop a better understanding of your own emotional responses.
You do not need to have everything worked out before beginning counselling. Part of the purpose of talking therapies is to give you somewhere to explore thoughts and feelings that may feel difficult, confusing or overwhelming.
Our anxiety counselling service can also provide space to consider how your experiences connect with other concerns. Care To Listen's wider counselling services support people experiencing stress, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, bereavement and relationship difficulties, alongside other emotional and mental health concerns.
Anxiety Therapy and Talking Therapies
There is no need to choose a therapeutic approach on your own before contacting Care To Listen. We provide a range of talking therapies, and your initial assessment gives you an opportunity to discuss your circumstances and the counselling available.
Different approaches can offer different ways of exploring anxiety. Our counselling service includes integrative and psychodynamic counselling, while our wider therapeutic approaches also include CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy).
The focus is on finding an appropriate way for you to explore what you are experiencing within a confidential therapeutic relationship.
Anxiety CBT and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, is one of the therapeutic approaches available through Care To Listen.
Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Within anxiety therapy, this can provide a way of exploring patterns connected with how you think, feel and respond to situations.
Anxiety CBT is one option within the broader range of talking therapies available through our counselling service. If you are unsure whether CBT or another approach may suit you, you can discuss the available options as part of your initial assessment.
Psychodynamic Counselling for Anxiety
Psychodynamic counselling offers a different way of exploring your experiences. It can provide space to consider experiences and patterns that may be influencing how you feel or relate to other people.
For someone seeking counselling for anxiety, this may mean looking more closely at the thoughts, feelings and experiences surrounding their anxiety rather than concentrating only on what is happening in the present moment.
Care To Listen provides psychodynamic counselling alongside other therapeutic approaches, helping you explore the form of support that is appropriate for your circumstances.

In-Person and Online Anxiety Therapy
You can access anxiety counselling in person at our Addiscombe location or attend therapy online through a secure platform.
Having both options can make counselling more accessible for people with different circumstances and preferences. Whichever format you use, the purpose remains to give you confidential, non-judgemental support and dedicated time to explore what you are experiencing.
If you are unsure about beginning anxiety therapy or which type of counselling might be appropriate, an initial assessment gives you the opportunity to talk about your circumstances before moving forward.
