Does this sound familiar?
- You worry a great deal and find it hard to switch off.
- You notice a racing heart, tension or poor sleep.
- You avoid situations or rely on safety behaviours.
- You expect the worst; reassurance helps only briefly.
- Anxiety narrows your work, study, relationships or daily life.
Learn practical CBT skills for responding differently.
You don’t need a formal anxiety diagnosis to register. A brief, free suitability screening helps us work out whether this group is right for you.
