Therapy for Anxiety in Surrey

Anxiety isn’t just in your mind, it starts in your body.

If you’ve been told to “just breathe” or “reframe your thoughts” and it hasn’t helped, you're not alone.
Anxiety that comes from trauma, attachment wounds, or nervous system dysregulation doesn’t respond to strategies alone.

At Tidal Trauma Centre in Surrey, we offer trauma-informed anxiety therapy that goes deeper than coping tools.
Our approach honours the root of your anxiety, not just the symptoms.

How Do Anxiety Therapists at Tidal Work

We don’t offer one-size-fits-all strategies or quick fixes.
Instead, we help you understand what your anxiety is protecting you from, how it's wired into your nervous system, and what it needs to soften.

We integrate evidence-based therapies including:
• EMDR Therapy to reprocess memories that keep your system on alert
• IFS Therapy to work with inner parts that carry fear or self-blame
• Somatic Therapy to regulate overwhelm and bring the body back into safety
• AEDP and Emotion Focused Therapy to explore attachment wounds, boundaries, and connection

Together, we help you build a more spacious, grounded relationship with yourself so that anxiety no longer has to run the show.

Common Anxiety Issues We Work With

• Panic attacks and chronic worry

• Social anxiety and fear of judgment

• Overthinking, racing thoughts, and sleep issues

• Shame-based anxiety and fear of failure

• Anxiety linked to trauma or childhood experiences

• Emotional shutdown and dissociation

• Highly sensitive nervous systems and sensory overload

Why Trauma-Informed Therapy Matters

Many of our clients have tried CBT, mindfulness, or general talk therapy in the past.

These approaches can be useful, but for anxiety rooted in trauma or chronic dysregulation, they often don’t go far enough.

Our work doesn’t aim to control or suppress anxiety. Instead our goal is to help you understand the function of anxiety so you can respond with compassion, and slowly create internal safety so your nervous system doesn’t have to work so hard.

  • We work with the root of anxiety, not just the thoughts. Many anxious responses are tied to unprocessed experiences, attachment dynamics, or nervous system patterns. Our approach integrates the body, emotions, and subconscious beliefs—not just logic.

  • Not unless you want to and your system is ready. We start by building safety and regulation first. Many clients find that once anxiety softens, deeper material naturally begins to surface without pressure.

  • Yes. For many clients, anxiety is felt more in the body than the mind. Somatic therapy can help release chronic tension, restore calm, and reduce overwhelm. Read our blog article here on how somatic therapy can help anxiety.

  • That depends on your goals and the depth of what’s fueling your anxiety. Some clients feel relief within a few sessions. Others stay longer for deeper integration. We’ll work at your pace.
