Online Therapy for Anxiety and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
What is Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterised by feeling worried often, finding it hard to stop the worrying once it starts, and feeling physically tense. You might also notice other physical changes such as struggling to sleep, not feeling rested, or feeling on edge. This level of worrying may contribute to heightened stress levels, hinder the enjoyment of daily life, and make it harder for you to relax.
Although it can be hard to live with, there are treatments available that can help you cope with anxiety. At Onebright, we offer expert online therapy for GAD that aims to help you manage your symptoms.
Generalised Anxiety Disorder can manifest in a range of symptoms. As well as experiencing persistent worry, you might also observe:
- Feelings of restlessness and trouble sleeping
- Fatigue
- Being on edge or irritable
- Issues with concentrating
- Feeling dizzy or light-headed
- Shortness of breath
- Heart palpitations
- Unexplained aches, pains, and tenseness
When should I seek therapy for anxiety?
Talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, are effective strategies for dealing with anxiety. You should consider treatment for your worry, anxiety or panic disorders when:
You frequently feel excessively worried about your life.
You worry about different topic areas, and it feels uncontrollable.
You might think that your worrying will prevent bad things from happening.
You find it difficult to experience uncertain situations as they may trigger worry episodes.
You can’t turn off your worry, and it's affecting your daily life.

Benefits of CBT for anxiety
CBT is an evidence based, goal-oriented and collaborative psychological therapy approach that focuses on understanding the past and present connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours (termed the ‘formulation’). It also offers powerful techniques to help you identify, challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, feelings and behaviours you might be experiencing as a result of your anxiety. Ultimately, it aims to significantly improve your mental health and quality of life.
