Online Anxiety Therapy

Therapy for General, Health and Social Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming – racing thoughts, tension, poor sleep, and a constant sense that something might go wrong. At Wyke Therapy, we offer online CBT for anxiety to help you understand what is maintaining the worry and build practical tools to feel calmer and more in control.

Sessions are warm, structured, and tailored to you. We work together using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a well-established approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Is This Right for You?

Online therapy can be a great fit if anxiety is affecting your day-to-day life, your relationships, or your confidence. CBT is especially helpful when anxiety shows up through patterns like overthinking, avoidance, reassurance seeking, or feeling stuck in worry loops.

This may be a good fit if you:

• feel caught in constant worry or rumination
• struggle to switch off, relax, or sleep well
• avoid situations because of fear or embarrassment
• notice physical anxiety symptoms like tension, restlessness, or a racing heart
• regularly check, research, or seek reassurance to feel safe

Not sure what type of anxiety you are experiencing?

That is completely normal. You do not need to have a diagnosis to start therapy. The free consultation is a space to talk things through and see whether CBT feels like the right next step.

Anxiety Support at a Glance

If you are unsure where you fit, this quick overview can help. Anxiety often overlaps, and CBT can be adapted to your needs.

Understanding Anxiety

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when worry becomes constant or starts interfering with everyday life, it may be an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can show up as restlessness, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, poor sleep, irritability, or a constant sense of dread.

The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable. Through CBT for anxiety, you learn to recognise the patterns that keep anxiety going, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop strategies that help you respond differently, even when life feels stressful.

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalised Anxiety Disorder involves persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations – work, health, finances, family – even when there is no real danger. This constant worry can make it hard to relax, focus, or feel present, leaving you mentally and physically exhausted.

In CBT for GAD, we identify what triggers worry, explore the fear of uncertainty, and reduce rumination. You will learn practical techniques to manage anxious thinking, respond differently to “what if?” thoughts, and calm the physical symptoms that often come with chronic worry.

Social Anxiety

Social anxiety is the fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social or performance situations. It can make meetings, friendships, dating, and public events feel overwhelming, and it often leads to avoidance or “getting through” situations while feeling panicked inside.

Through CBT for social anxiety, we explore the patterns that keep anxiety in place – such as harsh self-criticism, self-focused attention, and safety behaviours (like over-preparing or avoiding eye contact). You will learn how to shift attention outward, challenge anxious predictions, and build confidence with gradual, supported practice.

Health Anxiety

Health anxiety is the persistent fear of having a serious illness despite medical reassurance. Normal sensations – a headache, a flutter in the chest, a tight throat – can quickly spiral into catastrophic thoughts. Checking, Googling, and reassurance seeking may bring short-term relief, but often makes anxiety stronger over time.

In CBT for health anxiety, we break that cycle. You will learn how anxiety affects attention and interpretation, how to respond differently to bodily sensations, and how to reduce checking and avoidance so your mind can settle.

No. Therapy moves at your pace. We focus on understanding patterns and building tools, without pushing you to share anything before you feel ready.

Everyone is different. Many people notice progress within the first few weeks, especially when sessions are consistent and you practise small steps between appointments.
