Performance anxiety isn’t limited to work or public speaking. It can show up in sport, study, leadership roles or any situation where you feel seen, or expected to perform.
This pressure can lead to:
• Anxiety before or after performances, games, or important moments
• Overthinking mistakes or replaying events repeatedly
• Being highly self-critical despite effort or success
• Emotional reactions or saying things that feel out of character
• Withdrawing, shutting down, or losing enjoyment
Counselling can help you understand what’s driving this pressure, reduce self-criticism, and develop ways to respond with more balance.
Chat It Out offers counselling support in a range of settings to suit the individual.
Sessions can take place at our counselling space in Port Adelaide, through walk-and-talk sessions in the local metro area, or onsite with sporting clubs. Other options can also be discussed to best support your needs.
Please reach out if you would like support.
