Understanding Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a common but often misunderstood mental health condition characterised by persistent, excessive worry. This type of anxiety disorder can affect both your emotional and physical well-being, making daily activities challenging.
Symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder
People with GAD often experience a wide range of anxiety disorder symptoms, including:
Constant worry, often about everyday matters.
Physical anxiety symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, and rapid heart rate.
Signs of anxiety such as restlessness, irritability, and fatigue.
Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or trouble staying asleep.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
These generalised anxiety disorder symptoms can lead to significant stress and impact your work, relationships, and overall quality of life. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we help individuals manage these symptoms through comprehensive, personalised care.
Signs of an anxiety attack
An anxiety attack can feel overwhelming, with both emotional and physical reactions that can peak within minutes. Signs of an anxiety attack include:
A sudden, intense feeling of panic or fear.
Shortness of breath or tightness in the chest.
Sweating or trembling.
A feeling of detachment or unreality.
Coping with anxiety during these attacks can be difficult, but with professional guidance and treatment, many individuals learn how to manage these episodes effectively. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer treatments aimed at helping you recognise and reduce the frequency of anxiety attacks.

Anxiety disorders treated at Schoen Clinic Chelsea
We treat a range of anxiety disorders, beyond GAD, including:
Social anxiety
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is an intense fear of social situations where you might feel judged or scrutinised by others. This type of anxiety disorder can severely impact personal and professional relationships. Anxiety therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is highly effective in treating social anxiety by challenging the negative thoughts that drive social fears.
Panic disorder
Characterised by recurrent, unexpected anxiety attacks, panic disorder can cause intense fear, shortness of breath, and palpitations. Our treatments focus on understanding the triggers of these attacks and reducing their frequency and intensity through tailored anxiety therapy.
High-functioning anxiety
High-functioning anxiety refers to individuals who appear to function well in daily life while experiencing inner turmoil. Symptoms may include overthinking, perfectionism, and an inability to relax. Private anxiety treatment at Schoen Clinic Chelsea addresses the emotional and cognitive challenges of high-functioning anxiety, providing tools to help patients achieve a sense of balance.
Health Anxiety
Health anxiety, sometimes referred to as hypochondria, is characterised by an excessive worry about having a serious illness despite medical reassurance. Those with health anxiety often misinterpret normal bodily sensations as signs of severe illness, leading to frequent doctor visits or obsessive health-related research. This condition can cause significant distress and impact daily functioning.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, our approach to treating health anxiety includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other anxiety-focused treatments to help individuals challenge these health-related fears and develop healthier coping strategies.
Anxiety treatment options at Schoen Clinic Chelsea
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer a range of specialised anxiety treatment options tailored to meet your unique needs.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT for anxiety is a cornerstone of treatment at Schoen Clinic Chelsea. This evidence-based approach focuses on identifying and challenging the negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety. CBT helps individuals build healthier coping strategies and reduce the impact of their anxiety on daily life. It is particularly effective for treating generalised anxiety disorder symptoms, social anxiety, and panic disorders.
Anxiety counselling
Anxiety counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore the emotional and psychological aspects of your anxiety. Our expert counsellors help you develop better ways to cope with stress and manage your anxiety disorder symptoms. Whether you are dealing with GAD, high-functioning anxiety, or social anxiety, counselling can be an integral part of your treatment plan.
Private anxiety therapy and medication
In some cases, medication can be a useful adjunct to anxiety therapy, helping to reduce physical anxiety symptoms like palpitations or insomnia. Our experienced psychiatrists will evaluate whether medication is right for you and monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Anxiety diagnosis and screening
Accurate anxiety diagnosis is key to effective treatment. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose your specific anxiety disorder. This includes comprehensive assessments and clinical interviews to understand your symptoms of anxiety. With this information, we create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your individual needs.
