Mental wellbeing
Anxiety & daily function
Anxiety can make sleep, movement and everyday situations feel difficult. This pathway considers practical support for daily function alongside appropriate psychological or medical treatment, with a pace that respects your experience and the guidance of your treating professional.

A connected care plan
Your treating clinician’s advice guides the programme, with changes in symptoms or distress brought back for professional review.

A team that fits your needs
Connected professional support.
The centre confirms the professionals involved and their availability.
Working with your hospital
The right care, in the right place.
If anxiety is affecting preparation for treatment or recovery after an admission, discuss it with your treating team. Continuing support may help carry an agreed psychological and practical plan into everyday life. After mental-health admission, participation requires coordination with the discharge and follow-up plan.
Our referral approachYour questions, answered.
Is this a replacement for talking therapy?
No. Therapy and other clinical treatments are selected with the responsible professional. This pathway considers the practical routines and activity that can sit alongside that care.
Will a wearable tell me how anxious I am?
Wearable readings cannot diagnose an anxiety disorder. Clinical assessment, your experience and suitable questionnaires provide context; a device reading should not determine treatment on its own.
What if I feel worse during the programme?
Tell the responsible professional promptly. The plan may need to pause or change, and worsening symptoms may need clinical review rather than more demanding activity.
Clinical perspective
Participation depends on clinical suitability and professional availability. This is not a crisis service. If you cannot stay safe or may harm yourself, seek urgent help from emergency or crisis services.
