Therapy for Anxiety in Northampton

Specialist Support for Anxiety at Albion Consultancy & Treatment

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, persistent, and exhausting. While anxiety is a natural response to stress, it becomes a concern when it begins to interfere with daily life, relationships, work, or health.

At Albion Consultancy & Treatment (ACT) in Delapre, Northampton, our experienced psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors provide professional, evidence-based therapy for anxiety disorders. We support adults and young people across Northampton and the surrounding areas who are struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and related difficulties.

With the right support, anxiety is highly treatable.

Types of Anxiety We Work With

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalised Anxiety Disorder involves persistent and excessive worry about everyday issues such as work, health, finances, or family life. Many people describe feeling constantly “on edge” or unable to switch off their thoughts.

Symptoms may include:

Restlessness
Muscle tension
Fatigue
Irritability
Sleep difficulties
Difficulty concentrating

Our Northampton-based clinicians use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help reduce chronic worry and restore a sense of control.

Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia involves intense fear of situations where escape may feel difficult or help unavailable. This can include public transport, shopping centres, crowded environments, open spaces, or leaving home alone.

Without appropriate treatment, agoraphobia can become increasingly restrictive. At ACT in Northampton, we provide structured and supportive therapy to help individuals gradually rebuild confidence and independence.

Health Anxiety

Health anxiety involves excessive worry about having or developing a serious illness. Individuals may frequently check their body for symptoms, seek repeated reassurance, or spend significant time researching health conditions.

Our therapists work with clients across Northampton to reduce reassurance-seeking behaviours, manage uncertainty, and break the anxiety cycle.

Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder

Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, trembling, chest tightness, or sweating.

Panic disorder can develop when fear of future attacks leads to avoidance of certain places or situations. Therapy helps individuals understand the panic cycle, reduce fear of bodily sensations, and regain confidence in everyday life.

Social anxiety involves a strong fear of being judged, criticised, or embarrassed in social or performance situations. It can affect workplace meetings, public speaking, social events, and everyday interactions.

At Albion Consultancy & Treatment in Northampton, we help clients build confidence, reduce self-criticism, and develop practical coping strategies for social situations.

Specific Phobias

Phobias involve intense fear of particular objects or situations such as flying, heights, animals, needles, enclosed spaces, or dental procedures.

Evidence-based exposure therapy is highly effective in treating phobias. Our clinicians provide structured and supportive treatment to reduce avoidance and increase confidence.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety affects both mind and body. Common symptoms include:

Persistent worrying
Overthinking
Feeling on edge
Palpitations
Shortness of breath
Muscle tension
Sleep disturbance
Irritability
Avoidance of feared situations

If anxiety is affecting your ability to work, maintain relationships, or enjoy daily life, seeking therapy for anxiety in Northampton can make a significant difference.
