Why Anxiety Makes It So Hard to Ask for Help — And How Online Therapy Can Start with Just One Step
You typed something into Google.
Maybe:
“online therapy for anxiety Australia”
“help with decision-making when anxious”
“why do I keep putting off getting help?”
And then… you found me.
Maybe you clicked through to my site. Maybe you hovered over the “Book Now” button.
Or maybe you stared at the screen, overwhelmed and shut it all down.
If that was you — I get it. You're not lazy. You're anxious. And you're stuck in a loop.
Why Anxiety and Low Self-Esteem Delay Getting Help
Let’s clear something up:
You don’t have anxiety — you do anxiety. It’s an active pattern. A habit. A loop.
And when you're in it, making even basic decisions becomes mentally exhausting.
Your brain tells you:
“What if therapy doesn’t work?”
“What if I’m not bad enough to need help?”
“What if I look weak, or waste money, or open up and it hurts more?”
If you’re also dealing with low self-esteem or depression, that voice gets louder.
You second-guess everything. You delay. You tell yourself you’ll look again next week.
🧠 Anxiety thrives in the space between thinking about help and actually asking for it.
Online Therapy Makes Getting Help Easier — But Taking That First Step Is Still Hard
I offer online therapy for anxiety and low self-worth.
No driving. No awkward waiting rooms. Just you, a cuppa, your screen — and someone who gets it.
But even booking a free consultation can feel overwhelming when your mind is in fight-or-flight.
So if you’ve found me and thought,
“I need help but I can’t seem to click ‘book’...”
That’s okay. That hesitation is part of the anxiety pattern too.
What Will It Take to Take the First Step?
Sometimes it’s a breakdown.
Sometimes it’s just a quiet moment when you realise, “I can’t keep feeling like this.”
Whatever it is, I want to meet you at the very beginning — not with pressure, but with a pause.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation.
It’s not therapy. It’s not a commitment.
It’s just a chance to breathe and ask, “Could this be the right fit for me?”
You Don’t Have to Be Fully Ready — You Just Have to Show Up
You don’t need to explain your whole story.
You don’t need a GP referral.
You don’t need to be at rock bottom.
You just need one clear moment, where you decide:
“I want to try something different.”
