  • Over-preparing or needing reassurance

What anxiety can feel like

Anxiety is not always panic. It can appear as overthinking, perfectionism, physical tension, irritability or constantly anticipating problems.

Why anxiety becomes hard to switch off

Many people with anxiety become stuck in cycles of worry, control, reassurance-seeking or hypervigilance.

How therapy helps

Therapy helps you understand triggers, calm the nervous system, challenge unhelpful patterns and rebuild confidence.

When to seek urgent support

If you feel at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, contact 999, NHS 111 or your GP.
