Anxiety - Anxiety is defined as a state of tension caused by apprehension of possible future misfortune or danger. Anxiety affects a significant proportion of the UK population. In fact research on anxiety suggests that 25% of the population will experience an anxiety disorder within their lifetime. The virtual therapist has a range of anxiety therapies available, including free downloads.

Depression - The term 'depression' is used to describe everyday feelings of gloom and inadequacy. Whilst feeling low or sad or down is a normal reaction to experiences that are upsetting, it is the level of intensity of these feelings that defines depression. There are a number of successful techniques and therapies that can be used to reduce feelings of depression. The virtual therapist has three techniques to beat depression available as a free online therapy download as well as a full therapy that is highly effective at reducing depression.

Dyslexia - Latest estimates suggest that around 4% of the UK population is severely dyslexic. A further 6% have mild to moderate dyslexia problems. In the UK that means 375,000 schoolchildren could have some form of Dyslexia. The virtual therapist has developed an online psychotherapy programme that improves the spelling skills of those with dyslexia. This spelling skills therapy is especially effective for children with dyslexia. The Virtual Therapist has many expert atricles on dyslexia available to view.

Insomnia - It is not unusual to have the occasional bad nights sleep. But if sleeping problems on the odd occasion become a more regular occurrence then you may be suffering from insomnia. Insomnia or sleep problems are common 10-15% of the US population suffer with chronic insomnia. But there are a number of effective ways to get a good nights sleep. For example consider Sleep Easy, a 30 suggestion audio.

Phobia - A phobia is defined as a compelling fear or dread of a particular object or situation. From a behavioural psychology perspective a highly stressful event and the phobia trigger are 'anchored' so that every time the phobia trigger is fired it produces the emotion associated with the original event. This is why many phobias defy logic or reason, otherwise we could rationalise away the phobia. Because the association between the emotional event and the object or situation are created unconsciously they need to be disconnected at an unconscious level. A selfhelp online therapy, Phobia Free, is available from the virtual therapist that is designed to break the phobia link at an unconscious level.

Stress - The most common form of stress is achieved by assigning a meaning to a specific event or chain of events or projecting the consequences of an event into the future. So, if you have ever envied other people who 'never get stressed' you probably find the only difference is that they do not assign that meaning to what is, or might happen.
