Types of Anxiety
Different types of
anxiety we can help with.
Performance Anxiety
Performance anxiety shows up before something that matters, a presentation, an audition, an important meeting. Your body reacts as if you are in danger, even though you are safe.
- Racing heart, shaking hands, or going blank under pressure
- Fear of being judged or getting it wrong in front of others
- Avoiding opportunities because the anxiety feels too big
Anxiety at Work
Work anxiety often builds slowly, deadlines, expectations, and the pressure to always seem capable. It can follow you home long after the laptop is closed.
- Constant worry about making mistakes or being found out
- Difficulty switching off, even outside work hours
- Dread building before meetings or difficult conversations
Anxiety in Your Relationship
Anxiety in a relationship can look like constant reassurance-seeking, overthinking every text, or bracing for something to go wrong. It often has more to do with old patterns than the relationship itself.
- Fear of abandonment or rejection
- Difficulty trusting that things are actually okay
- Reading too much into small moments
Sexual Anxiety
Sexual anxiety can affect desire, performance, or how safe you feel being close to someone. It is far more common than people think, and rarely talked about.
- Worry about performance or being judged
- Difficulty relaxing into intimacy
- Anxiety that shows up specifically around sex, not elsewhere
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety turns ordinary interactions into something to prepare for, or avoid altogether. The fear is rarely about the event itself, it is about being seen and judged.
- Overanalysing conversations after they happen
- Avoiding gatherings, calls, or new situations
- Physical symptoms in social settings, blushing, sweating, going blank
Anxious Traveller
Travel anxiety can make planning a trip feel more stressful than the trip itself. Flights, unfamiliar places, and losing control of the schedule are common triggers.
- Fear of flying or being far from home
- Catastrophic thinking about what could go wrong
- Avoiding travel altogether, even when you want to go
