"Health anxiety"

About: Hounslow IAPT

(as a service user),

I started suffering from extreme health anxiety after my father passed away. my mother was diagnosed with alzheimers soon after and that led to panic attacks and severe anxiety.

I have been suffering for about 5 years now and had no coping mechanism. I would often feel like a failure and that I am letting my family down. Rashmeet has been a great therapist. She immediately focused in on my health issues and helped me develop coping strategies. more importantly, she took the time to listen to me and understand where my anxiety was coming from. I am very grateful for her support!
