Hi.
I was living with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) a very challenging time especially when it was affecting my daily activities , sleep , anxious all the time .
I consulted with CBT Therapist Ms Hemma DSouza , she helped me get relief . Taught me some strategies that helped.
She patiently assisted me , explaining thats there is no quick fix to deal with and manage anxiety.
With her as my therapist I feel lucky , she helped me to identify my triggers and discover coping mechanisms to help me get through those tough times.
In my experience I strongly suggest do not hesitate to seek help when you need , the more you delay the worse your anxiety can get.
I highly recommend Ms Hemma DSouza.
