What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived threats, characterised by feelings of fear, worry, or unease. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, chronic or excessive anxiety can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall well-being.
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting people of all ages.
​
Common Symptoms of Anxiety
​
-
Emotional Symptoms: Persistent worry, fear, or feelings of dread.
-
Physical Symptoms: Increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath.
-
Cognitive Symptoms: Difficulty concentrating, intrusive thoughts, or constant overthinking.
-
Behavioural Symptoms: Avoidance of certain places, situations, or activities that trigger anxiety.
Anxiety manifests differently for everyone. Recognising its impact is the first step towards finding effective support and treatment.
What Are the Different Types of Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety can take many forms, each with its own set of challenges. Here are some of the most common types:
​
-
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations, often accompanied by physical symptoms like restlessness or fatigue.
-
Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of social situations, often driven by fear of judgment or embarrassment.
-
Panic Disorder: Sudden, unexpected panic attacks with physical symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
-
Specific Phobias: Irrational fears of specific objects, situations, or activities, such as flying, heights, or animals.
-
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours aimed at reducing anxiety.
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Anxiety related to past trauma, often accompanied by flashbacks or heightened alertness.
Each type of anxiety disorder requires tailored approaches to treatment, which is why we provide personalised support at A Stone’s Throw Therapy.

Here are the key benefits of online therapy for Anxiety:
Understanding Your Anxiety
Through online therapy, you can develop a deeper understanding of the root causes of your anxiety. By identifying triggers and recognising patterns in your thoughts and behaviours, you’ll gain insights into how anxiety affects your life and learn how to break free from its grip.
Enhanced Emotional Regulation
Therapy equips you with tools to manage overwhelming emotions and navigate stress with greater ease. You’ll learn practical techniques, such as mindfulness and relaxation exercises, to calm your mind and body during moments of heightened anxiety.
Developing a Healthier Relationship With Worry
Anxiety often thrives on avoidance or overthinking. Therapy helps you reframe your relationship with worry, teaching you to approach it with curiosity and compassion rather than fear. This shift reduces its intensity and allows you to focus on what truly matters.
Gaining Emotional Balance
Therapy equips you with tools to manage overwhelming emotions and navigate stress with greater ease. You’ll learn practical techniques, such as mindfulness and relaxation exercises, to calm your mind and body during moments of heightened anxiety.
Building Confidence
Living with anxiety can make you feel powerless, but therapy helps you reclaim control. By developing effective coping mechanisms, you’ll feel more prepared to handle life’s challenges, boosting your self-esteem and confidence in your ability to manage anxiety.
Greater Coping Skills
Therapy fosters a sense of resilience, enabling you to bounce back from setbacks and face uncertainties with a clearer, more grounded perspective. Over time, this resilience transforms how you respond to stressful situations, making them feel more manageable.
Enhanced Relationships
Anxiety often affects personal and professional relationships, causing misunderstandings or avoidance. Therapy can help you communicate your needs more effectively, navigate conflicts with greater confidence, and build stronger, more supportive connections.
A More Fulfilling Life
Ultimately, therapy helps you realign your life with your values and goals. By reducing the hold anxiety has on your thoughts and actions, you’ll be better equipped to pursue the life you want, feeling more empowered and at peace.
