Eleos Counselling: Gentle, Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety Near West Chiltington RH20, West Sussex
Helping You Cope with Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Do you feel constantly worried, tense, or on edge—even when there’s no clear reason? At Eleos Counselling in West Chiltington, we understand how persistent anxiety can affect your daily life. Whether it’s trouble sleeping, constant overthinking, or a feeling of dread you can’t explain, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can make life feel harder than it needs to be.
If you’ve tried to manage things on your own but still feel stuck, therapy can offer a new way forward.
What Is Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?
GAD is more than just being a ‘worrier’. It’s a long-term, excessive form of anxiety that often doesn’t go away on its own. You might find yourself worrying about your health, family, work, or even situations that haven’t happened yet. The thoughts feel relentless, and no amount of reassurance seems to calm them.
Physically, GAD can show up as fatigue, restlessness, headaches, and trouble sleeping. Emotionally, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of yourself.
How Therapy Can Help with Anxiety
Counselling offers a safe, private space to talk through your thoughts without judgement. At Eleos Counselling, we help you understand what’s feeding your anxiety and how to gently change the patterns that keep it going. You won’t be told to “just think positively.” Instead, we explore what you’re experiencing at your pace and help you reconnect with your sense of calm and control.
We aim to help you:
-
Reduce overthinking and worry
-
Feel less pressure to be perfect
-
Manage physical symptoms of anxiety
-
Sleep better and feel more rested
-
Restore balance in your mind and body
A Compassionate, Person-Centred Approach
Our therapy draws on the values of self-compassion, inspired by the work of Dr Kristin Neff and Dr Paul Gilbert. Many people with anxiety have a harsh inner critic that fuels their distress. Our work focuses on helping you respond to yourself with kindness rather than blame. When you learn to treat yourself more gently, you start to feel less anxious—and more resilient.
This is not about ‘fixing’ you. It’s about understanding and supporting you, just as you are.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Anxiety can be isolating. You may feel like you’re the only one struggling—or that others wouldn’t understand. But at Eleos Counselling, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where your experience matters.
You might not know exactly what you need yet, and that’s okay. Many clients arrive unsure of where to begin. We’ll take things step by step. There’s no rush, no pressure, just gentle support to help you feel more like yourself again.

Client Testimonial
“I didn’t even realise how much anxiety had taken over my life until I started therapy. I just thought I was someone who worried a lot, who overprepared, who couldn’t relax — but deep down I felt constantly on edge, like I was failing at life and nobody could see it.
Finding Eleos Counselling was such a relief. From the very first session, I felt understood and not judged. My therapist helped me make sense of things I’d carried for years — childhood pressure to be perfect, the constant fear of disappointing people, and the feeling that I always had to be ‘on.’
It wasn’t always easy, but I never felt rushed or pushed. I was given the time and space to work things through. What surprised me most was how kind I began to feel toward myself. I’d spent so long blaming myself for not coping, but I learned that anxiety isn’t weakness — it’s a sign I needed support.
Now, I sleep better. I speak up more. I don’t beat myself up for being human. There’s still the occasional wobble, but it doesn’t take over anymore. I feel calmer, more present, and more me again.
I’m really grateful I reached out when I did. Therapy with Eleos genuinely changed the way I see myself and the way I live.”
— Rachel, 42, West Sussex
