How anxiety is treated
Anxiety treatment is for fear and worry that persist and get in the way. It is not for ordinary nerves.
The treatments with the most evidence are based on cognitive behavioural principles 1. That includes exposure therapy, where you face what you have been avoiding, a step at a time.
A prescriber may also consider medicine, depending on age and severity 2. Ask a practitioner how they work with anxiety.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours 3.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
