Anxiety-related experiences
When worry, overthinking, or a constant sense of unease starts to feel overwhelming.
​
We support individuals experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, and generalised anxiety.
​
WHAT ANXIETY CAN FEEL LIKE
Anxiety can show up in different ways — sometimes loud and intense, and other times constant and in the background.
Constant overthinking or difficulty switching your mind off
Feeling on edge, restless, or easily overwhelmed
Panic attacks or sudden waves of intense fear
Avoiding situations that feel too much
Trouble sleeping or feeling physically tense
Needing control or certainty to feel okay
Intrusive or repetitive thoughts (OCD-related)
TYPES OF ANXIETY WE SUPPORT
Generalised
anxiety
Ongoing worry that feels difficult to control, often across different areas of life such as work, relationships, or health.
It can feel like your mind is constantly “on,” scanning for what might go wrong, even when there’s no immediate reason to worry.
This often comes with physical tension, restlessness, or difficulty switching off.
Panic
attacks
Sudden, intense surges of fear that can feel overwhelming and physical — including a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, or a sense of losing control.
​
Panic attacks can come out of the blue or be triggered by certain situations, and many people begin to fear the attacks themselves, leading to avoidance or heightened anxiety.
Obsessive-compulsive (OCD)
Intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that create anxiety, often followed by repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) to try reduce that anxiety.
​
These patterns can feel difficult to interrupt, even when you recognise they don’t fully make sense, and can become time-consuming or distressing over time.
Social anxiety
A strong fear of being judged, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated in social or performance situations.
​
This can lead to avoiding social interactions, overthinking conversations before or after they happen, or feeling intensely self-aware in social settings.
Health anxiety
Persistent worry about physical health, often involving fear of serious illness despite medical reassurance.
This may include frequently checking symptoms, seeking reassurance, or feeling unable to relax about bodily sensations.
Understanding anxiety
​​
Anxiety is a natural response designed to protect you — but sometimes it becomes overactive.
It can be shaped by past experiences, stress, personality, and the way your mind and body have learned to respond to uncertainty or perceived threat.
