Managing Workplace Anxiety Training - Perth

Managing Workplace Anxiety Training - Perth

Let's be honest - you know that feeling when Sunday afternoon rolls around and you start dreading Monday morning? Or when your heart starts racing before a team meeting because you're worried about speaking up? You're not alone. Workplace anxiety affects more people than we'd like to admit, and it's time we talked about it openly.

I've spent years working with professionals who put on a brave face at work while quietly struggling with everything from imposter syndrome to panic attacks during presentations. The thing is, anxiety doesn't just affect your wellbeing - it impacts your performance, your relationships with colleagues, and your career progression. But here's what I've learned: anxiety isn't something you just have to live with. You can develop practical strategies to manage it effectively.

This course isn't about pretending anxiety doesn't exist or telling you to "just think positive." We're going to dig into real, actionable techniques that you can use when your mind starts spiraling during a difficult conversation with your boss, or when you're lying awake at 2am worrying about that project deadline. You'll learn how to recognise your personal anxiety triggers before they escalate, how to use breathing techniques that actually work in the moment (not just in theory), and how to reframe those catastrophic thoughts that love to pop up at the worst possible times.

We'll also cover the workplace-specific stuff that other courses often miss. Like how to handle anxiety around performance reviews, what to do when you're feeling overwhelmed by your workload but don't want to look incapable, and how to manage social anxiety in team environments. Plus, we'll talk about when and how to have conversations with your manager about mental health support without feeling like you're putting your job at risk.

What You'll Learn

You'll walk away knowing how to spot the early warning signs of anxiety building up, so you can intervene before it becomes overwhelming. We'll teach you quick, discreet techniques you can use right at your desk or in meetings - things like the 4-7-8 breathing method and grounding exercises that don't require you to leave the room. You'll also learn how to challenge those unhelpful thought patterns that turn minor work issues into major catastrophes in your mind.

We'll cover practical workplace scenarios too. You'll know how to prepare mentally for stressful situations like presentations or difficult conversations, how to set boundaries when your workload is causing anxiety, and how to build confidence in your abilities. We'll also discuss how to create a support network at work and how to access professional help when you need it.

The Bottom Line

By the end of this training, you'll have a toolkit of stress management techniques that actually work in real workplace situations. You'll feel more confident handling challenging situations, and you'll know how to prevent anxiety from derailing your career goals. Most importantly, you'll realise that managing workplace anxiety isn't about being "fixed" - it's about having the right strategies to thrive despite the challenges. Because when you're not constantly battling anxiety, you can focus on what you do best and enjoy your work again.
