Managing Workplace Anxiety - Perth
Managing Workplace Anxiety - Perth
You know that feeling when your heart starts racing before a big presentation, or when Sunday night anxiety kicks in thinking about Monday morning? You're definitely not alone. Between tight deadlines, difficult colleagues, and the constant pressure to perform, workplace anxiety has become the uninvited guest at pretty much every office party. The thing is, a bit of nervous energy can actually help you perform better, but when anxiety starts calling the shots in your work life, it's time to take back control.
I've been working with professionals for over fifteen years, and I can tell you that the people who thrive aren't the ones who never feel anxious - they're the ones who've learned how to manage it effectively. This course isn't about pretending everything's fine or powering through panic attacks with positive thinking. It's about giving you practical, real-world strategies that actually work when you're in the thick of it.
We'll dig into what's really happening in your brain when anxiety kicks in, because understanding the "why" makes dealing with the "what now" so much easier. You'll learn techniques that you can use right there in the moment - whether you're dealing with a micromanaging boss, handling a difficult customer, or facing a room full of people waiting for your input. We'll also tackle the bigger picture stuff, like setting boundaries that stick and creating work habits that support your mental health rather than undermining it.
The best part? Everything we cover is designed for real workplaces with real pressures. No fluffy theory here - just practical tools you can start using immediately. You'll discover how to manage workplace anxiety without having to completely overhaul your life, and how to handle those tricky situations where anxiety tends to spike without anyone even noticing you're using the techniques.
What You'll Learn
How to recognise your personal anxiety triggers before they spiral out of control, so you can catch them early and respond rather than react. We'll map out your specific workplace stressors and create a personalized action plan.
Practical breathing and grounding techniques that work in open offices, during video calls, and even in the middle of heated meetings. These aren't meditation retreat techniques - they're designed for the real world where you can't just disappear for twenty minutes.
How to reframe anxious thoughts in the moment, turning "I'm going to mess this up" into "I've prepared for this and I can handle whatever comes up." You'll learn the difference between helpful concern and unhelpful worry.
Strategies for managing anxiety around specific workplace scenarios like public speaking, confrontational conversations, performance reviews, and dealing with authority figures. We'll practice with real examples you're likely to face.
How to build confidence gradually through small wins and realistic goal-setting, rather than trying to fake it till you make it. You'll leave with a clear plan for continued growth.
Ways to communicate your needs effectively without oversharing or making anxiety your identity at work. This includes knowing when and how to ask for support without jeopardizing your professional relationships.

You'll feel more confident handling whatever your job throws at you, and you'll have the skills to maintain your mental health without sacrificing your career goals. Most importantly, you'll understand that managing anxiety isn't about eliminating it completely - it's about developing a healthy relationship with it so it stops running the show. You'll walk away knowing you can handle whatever comes next, and that's a pretty powerful feeling to take back to work.
