What Happens When You Book for Anxiety

A private conversation, at your pace, with a GP who listens.

1

Share what's going on

In the form, mention how long the worry or panic has lasted and how it's affecting sleep, work or study.

2

Your GP calls

By phone or video, they ask about triggers, physical symptoms, coffee and alcohol, and check you're safe right now.

3

Agree on support

Often that's a psychologist referral. If you're eligible, your GP may also prepare a mental health treatment plan.

Ways Our GPs Support Anxiety

Your first consult is a conversation about what's happening and what helps.

A proper listen

The GP wants to know how long the worry has been there, what sets it off and how it's affecting sleep and work.

Book a Consult

Physical causes checked

Sometimes a racing heart or shaky hands come from the thyroid, or simply too much coffee. Blood tests help rule that out.

Blood Test Referrals
Therapy and referrals

CBT with a psychologist is a common start. Your GP also checks whether other treatment options make sense for you.

Anxiety Consult Prep

Make Your First Anxiety Consult Easier

It helps to note when the anxiety started, what tends to trigger it and how often it hits. A few lines on your phone will do.

Your GP may ask you to fill in a short questionnaire about recent weeks. Mention medicines you already take and how much coffee or alcohol you have.

Treatment plan

A mental health treatment plan setting out goals and support, if you're eligible.

Psychologist referral

Emailed to you, so you can book with a psychologist you choose.

Follow-up booked

A chance to see how therapy, or any changes you've made, are going.

Start Anxiety Consult

Need time off for your mental health?

Some weeks, anxiety puts work or study out of reach. You can talk it through with a GP remotely, and if they judge you're unfit for now, they can write a certificate for those days.

  • No need to leave home
  • Emailed if it's issued
  • Support options covered too

Making Sense of Worry

Anxiety, Explained Simply

With generalised anxiety, the worry spreads across everyday things at once, like work, money, health and family. It's hard to switch off and often lingers for months.

Panic attacks are different. They're sudden surges of fear with a pounding heart, breathlessness or dizziness, and they feel frightening even though they tend to peak quickly.

Constant worry

Panic attacks

Ongoing Support for Anxiety

Feeling steadier takes a while, and your GP stays involved.

GP check-in

After a few psychology sessions, your GP reviews how you're going and whether a different approach would help more.

Book a GP Check-in

More sessions

If you're eligible, your GP can refer you for further psychology sessions once the first block is finished.

Referral Details

Other services

Online programs, peer support or a psychiatrist may also fit. Your GP can explain the mental health services available.

Already on medicine for anxiety?

If you take something for anxiety now, a GP can check how it's going, ask about side effects and consider a repeat. Talking therapy is often recommended alongside it. Any script depends on their assessment.
