Online Therapy for Anxiety
When anxiety stays switched on, narrows your choices or begins to organise daily life around avoidance, therapy can help you regain freedom and confidence.
Possible signs
When anxiety makes life smaller
- Persistent worry and repetitive thinking
- Avoiding places, conversations, travel or decisions
- Physical tension, a racing heart or shortness of breath
- A strong need for control or repeated reassurance
- Sleep problems, exhaustion or difficulty concentrating
- Fear of rejection, embarrassment or losing control
Understanding the difficulty
Making sense of the pattern
Anxiety is often maintained by an interaction between physical alarm reactions, threatening interpretations and protective behaviour. Avoidance brings short-term relief, but it can reinforce the belief that a situation is unmanageable.
Therapeutic work
How we can work together
Together, we develop a clear individual model of your anxiety. You learn to notice early signals, question automatic interpretations and respond differently to tension and uncertainty. New experiences are prepared carefully and at an agreed pace.
Starting our work
The free introductory call is a chance to meet and consider whether the offer fits. In the first regular session, we look closely at one recent situation: what happened, what you feared, how your body responded and what you did to feel safer. We agree on a first realistic goal, such as approaching a conversation or journey you have been avoiding.
Reviewing progress
We review changes in everyday life together: which situations are becoming possible again, how much anxiety directs your choices and what still needs support. This helps us adjust the work to your needs.
Possible areas of focus
Identify personal anxiety triggers
Understand avoidance and safety behaviours
Respond differently to physical alarm
Strengthen confidence and freedom of action
Frequently asked questions
What you may want to know.
Is online therapy suitable for anxiety?
Many anxiety problems can be addressed effectively by video. In the first session, we consider whether online work fits your situation or whether local in-person care would be more appropriate.
Will I have to face my greatest fear immediately?
No. New experiences are prepared carefully and developed at an agreed pace. Forced or unexpected exposure is not part of my way of working.
