Most of us are affected by emotional problems at some point, particularly when life’s ups and downs have put us under additional strain.

We may feel anxious or low and this can have an effect on our day to day lives, for example, influencing our thoughts and behaviours, our relationships with others, or our performance at work. Some of the consequences may include;

• Depression
• Panic
• Low self esteem
• Phobias
• Fears
• Anxiety
• Post traumatic stress
• Eating problems
• Obsessions
• Addictions
• Repeating problem patterns in life
• Sexual problems
• Chronic Pain

Many of us know that our difficulties have only recently begun, but it is also very common to feel that the same problems have been around for a lot longer or perhaps for most of life. Some difficulties can affect almost every aspect of life, whilst others may be relatively minor and only interfere with a small part of it.
