About Dr. Esther Cole
I am HCPC registered, BPS accredited and a professionally insured Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS and private practice. I have worked in multi-disciplinary teams with clients with a range of mental and physical health, neurological conditions, challenging behaviour and cognitive problems, with very positive results since 2008 (qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist in 2013).
I tailor make all therapies to the person, child, young person or organisation’s needs and draw on the best available evidence. This could mean offering a combination of different therapies such as CBT, systemic and narrative approaches or integrating several therapeutic methods until we feel we are making progress.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks | Lifespan Psychology
Understanding Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Feeling anxious from time to time is part of being human — but when anxiety becomes overwhelming or begins to interfere with daily life, it’s important to seek support. At Lifespan Psychology, we provide professional, compassionate help for individuals experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, both in-person and online.
What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived danger. However, when anxiety becomes chronic, persistent, or disproportionate to the situation, it may indicate an anxiety disorder. Common symptoms include:
-
Racing thoughts
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Muscle tension or restlessness
-
Trouble sleeping
-
Ongoing feelings of dread or fear
Anxiety can be generalised or triggered by specific situations, such as social events, work pressures, or health concerns.
What Are Panic Attacks?
Panic attacks are sudden and intense surges of fear that often appear without warning. They can feel overwhelming and even mimic the symptoms of a heart attack. Signs of a panic attack may include:
-
Shortness of breath
-
Chest pain or tightness
-
Rapid heartbeat
-
Dizziness or nausea
-
Sweating and trembling
-
A sense of losing control
While panic attacks can be frightening, they are treatable — and you're not alone.
