Anxiety and stress Therapy, Counselling & Treatment NZ
On this page are counsellors and therapists listed who offer therapy, treatment, counselling and support to people with anxiety / fear and stress.Anxiety and stress may go hand in hand. Similar symptoms may occur, such as insomnia, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, muscle tension, and irritability.
Anxiety and stress are both emotional responses, but stress is typically caused by an external trigger. The trigger can be short-term, such as a work deadline or a fight with a loved one or long-term, such as being unable to work, discrimination, or chronic illness.
People under stress experience mental and physical symptoms, such as irritability, anger, fatigue, muscle pain, digestive troubles, and difficulty sleeping.
Anxiety, on the other hand, is defined by persistent, excessive worries that don’t go away even in the absence of a stressor.

Experiencing anxiety, phobias, or depression can be overwhelming and make life lose its vibrancy.
It can feel like something is wrong with you and that your brain or genes are to blame.
However, these are all natural responses that have become imbalanced and can be changed relatively quickly without the need for medication.
