Anxiety Therapy, Counselling & Treatment NZ
On this page are counsellors and therapists listed who offer therapy, treatment, counselling and support to people with hyperventilation.
Hyperventilation, or overbreathing as it is also called, is rapid or deep breathing, triggered by anxiety or panic. Hyperventilation may actually leave you feeling breathless.
When you breathe, you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Excessive breathing may lead to low levels of carbon dioxide in your blood, which causes many of the symptoms that you may feel if you hyperventilate.
Hyperventilation therapy & counselling
Do you suffer from anxiety and would you like to get some help how to deal with this? Therapy and counselling can help.
