Frequently Asked Questions
Will Jennifer get rid of my anxiety completely?
The primary role of anxiety is rooted in ensuring our safety, it is an evolutionary part of our development and survival.
Without anxiety, we would not have survived as a species. And that doesn't just apply to humans, reptiles and mammals have the same fight and flight response as we do.

However, equipped with the right tools and techniques acquired through learning, you gain the capacity to make rational decisions and navigate these situations effectively and fearlessly.

Anxiety Therapist Romford
Romford is a large town on the border of Essex and East London, England.
Historically part of the ancient parish of Hornchurch in the Becontree hundred of Essex, it has been a market town since 1247. Good road links to London and the opening of the railway station in 1839 were key to the development of the town.
