Last updated July 2026. ## How to calm an anxiety attack A short explainer from our psychologists ![Anxiety Attacks: Why You Feel It and How to Stop It — ElloMind](https://img.youtube.com/vi/5cPNx5urUgI/maxresdefault.jpg) ## What is anxiety? Anxiety is your body's alarm system doing its job at the wrong time. A little worry is normal and even useful. It becomes a problem when the alarm stays on, when worry, fear, or physical tension start interfering with your sleep, work, relationships, or daily life, and it does not settle on its own. You do not need a diagnosis to get help. If any of the signs below sound familiar and have lasted for a few weeks, therapy can make a real difference. ### Common signs of anxiety Constant worry you can't switch off Racing heart, tight chest, or trouble breathing Restlessness or feeling on edge Trouble sleeping or a racing mind at night Avoiding people, places, or situations Irritability, or difficulty concentrating ## Types of anxiety we treat Whatever shape your anxiety takes, there is an evidence-based way to work on it.

Your psychologist helps you spot the thoughts that quietly fuel worry, test them against what is actually true, and replace them with grounding and coping skills you can use in real life. For panic and phobias, gentle, gradual exposure helps feared situations slowly lose their power. Understand your anxiety and what keeps it going Learn grounding techniques for panic and racing thoughts Gently face avoided situations at your own pace Build habits that protect your sleep and calm your body Sessions are 50 minutes, over encrypted video, in Malayalam or English.

Therapy helped me calm down, reflect on my own patterns, and recognize how both of us were struggling and growing together. It truly brought more clarity, understanding, and peace into our relationship. KD Kavya Das 3 months ago I had tried several therapy sessions in the past without seeing any noticeable changes in my thought patterns. Then, I decided to give Ello Mind a try. My therapist, Teresa, is very friendly, and I was able to connect with her perspective right away. She has already helped me make a positive change during one of the lowest points in my life. DJ Dhanya James 11 months ago I’ve been attending therapy sessions with Hyma ma’am, and the experience has been incredibly positive. She creates a safe and comfortable environment, allowing me to open up and explore my thoughts at my own pace. Her approach is both professional and compassionate. I’m truly grateful for the progress I’ve made with her guidance. GG Gokul G Bhattathiri a year ago Experienced team of clinical psychologists who provide excellent services. I’d highly recommend anyone who’d wish to seek help in need, be it something in your personal or professional life. Sessions are flexible, they provide online and offline services, information shared is kept extremely confidential. IJ Irene James 10 months ago I cannot thank Ms. Hyma enough for her incredible support and guidance. She helped me manage my anxiety issues and regain the energy and confidence to handle my work, as well as find time for my hobbies. She helped me organize my schedule effectively and deal with situations rationally. Definitely recommend! SK Susan Kurien a year ago I had a great experience with Ellomind. I worked with Teresa and she is a wonderful therapist. Helped me get my thoughts sorted and gave some effective exercises that helped me on my mental wellness journey. I am giving this feedback a few months after my sessions ended and still feel great. The effects of the therapy are long lasting. AT Aswathi T P 2 years ago Teresa was able to correctly identify that I had issues with confidence and assertiveness using the right questions and exercises. She then taught me CBT frameworks and techniques that helped me improve my self-image. Teresa is very open to receiving feedback and integrating it into subsequent sessions. SP Sidharth Praveen 2 years ago I’ve been taking sessions at Ello Mind since 2023, and Teresa has helped me overcome many things. She doesn’t just give advice — she helps you understand yourself better. She listens patiently and really tries to understand what you’re going through. I genuinely appreciate her work and highly recommend Ello Mind. MA Mohammed Althaf a month ago Being my first experience with a therapist, I could not have asked for a better group than Ello Mind & a better therapist than Ms. Hyma. My therapist has been extremely supportive and has helped in calming me. Would recommend to anyone who is in need of support. AN Ashwin N a year ago 10/10 experience. Really good place, I felt super comfortable opening up here. Ellomind gave me a safe space to talk and feel understood. The therapists are kind and supportive, I always leave feeling lighter. Honestly the best decision I made for myself this year. GN Gayatri Nair 5 months ago › ## Simple, transparent pricing Pay after your session, on a sliding scale.

Your psychologist helps you notice the thought patterns that fuel worry, test them against reality, and build practical coping and grounding skills. For panic and phobias, gradual exposure is added so feared situations slowly lose their grip. How do I know if my anxiety needs treatment? + If worry, fear, or physical symptoms like a racing heart or trouble sleeping are interfering with your work, relationships, or daily life, and it has lasted for weeks, therapy can help. You do not need a formal diagnosis to start. You can also take our free [anxiety self-check](/tools/anxiety) first. Can online anxiety therapy really work? + Yes. Research consistently finds online therapy produces outcomes equivalent to in-person sessions for anxiety. Many people actually find it easier to open up about anxiety from a familiar, private space, without the added stress of travelling to a clinic. Will I need medication for my anxiety? + Not necessarily. Many people manage anxiety well with therapy alone. Our psychologists do not prescribe medication, but if they feel it could help, they will guide you toward a psychiatrist for that conversation. Therapy and medication can also work well together. What is the difference between a panic attack and anxiety? + Anxiety is ongoing worry or unease, often about the future. A panic attack is a sudden, intense surge of fear with strong physical symptoms, a pounding heart, tight chest, trouble breathing, that peaks within minutes. Therapy helps with both, and specific techniques exist to shorten and reduce panic attacks. Can I have my anxiety sessions in Malayalam? + Yes. All our psychologists speak Malayalam and English fluently, and most clients use a natural mix of both. Describing anxiety in your mother tongue often makes it easier to access what you are really feeling. See [online counselling in Malayalam](/malayalam-counselling-online). How much does anxiety therapy cost? + An individual session is ₹1,499, or from ₹1,049 per session with a multi-session plan. Each session is 50 minutes. You pay after your session on a sliding scale. [View all plans](/pricing). What qualifications do your anxiety therapists have? + Every psychologist at ElloMind holds a recognised master's degree in clinical or counselling psychology. Our anxiety specialists use evidence-based methods including CBT, exposure therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.
