Anxiety Unlocked
A 6-Week Anxiety Support Course in Cambridge
Struggling with anxiety, constant worry about the future, negative thought patterns or procrastination can feel exhausting and isolating. Anxiety often shows up quietly, shaping daily life, confidence and decision-making.
We believe that understanding anxiety can be one of the most powerful steps towards change. Anxiety Unlocked is a structured six-week anxiety support course designed to help you understand how anxiety is created in the mind and body, and to develop practical, lasting tools to work with it differently.
This course takes place at our calm, purpose-built studio in central Cambridge and is open to all, including complete beginners.
Anxiety Unlocked is a transformational six-week programme that combines education, gentle movement and deep relaxation or hypnosis. Rather than focusing on short-term coping strategies, the course supports meaningful, long-term change by helping you understand anxiety at its roots.
Across the six weeks, you will learn how anxiety is formed, how it is maintained, and how to reduce its impact on your thoughts, emotions and everyday life. Each session is designed to leave you feeling calmer, clearer and more confident in your ability to handle challenges as they arise.
This is not about forcing positivity or fixing yourself. It is about knowledge, compassion and building skills that support resilience and wellbeing.
What Is Anxiety Unlocked?
Anxiety is not a personal failure or weakness. It is a natural response created by the brain’s survival system. When this system becomes overstimulated, anxiety can remain switched on even when there is no immediate threat.
Understanding how anxiety works can:
Reduce fear around anxious thoughts and physical sensations
Increase confidence and self-trust
Support nervous system regulation
Help break cycles of worry, avoidance and procrastination
By learning how the mind and body respond to stress, anxiety becomes something you can work with, rather than something that controls you. Across the six weeks, you will learn how anxiety is formed, how it is maintained, and how to reduce its impact on your thoughts, emotions and everyday life. Each session is designed to leave you feeling calmer, clearer and more confident in your ability to handle challenges as they arise.
This is not about forcing positivity or fixing yourself. It is about knowledge, compassion and building skills that support resilience and wellbeing.
