Counselling Exeter. Coronavirus anxiety.

During the period of the coronavirus situation many people may have anxiety about their own or other people's situation. Counselling can assist in reducing the emotional effect of this anxiety.

There are several reasons why people are emotionally affected. Each of these may impact on people:

• The situation is not under a person's control.
• The virus situation has not occured before. It is uniquely new for everybody.
• The virus is not labled as the 'responsibility' of an entity. There is no easy fix or solution.
• Life has changed, negatively, for most people; change is recognised sub-consciously as danger.

One of the important factors is the inbuilt survival method - fight, flight or freeze. That survival method happens to help us survive dangers. People are told of the dangers of coronavirus, the brain recognises the dangers, the survival method starts up.

Counselling will be by Skype, which complies with security requirements whilst permitting counselling to be performed from any location     which has internet access.
