Performance Anxiety Therapy, Counselling & Treatment NZ
On this page are counsellors and therapists listed who offer therapy, treatment, counselling and support to people with Performance anxiety.
The term is commonly used to describe stage fright, which is stress or fear before performing or speaking in front of people. It is also sometimes used as a shortened version of the term sexual performance anxiety, which is a fear related to having sex. However, these are just two examples.
People can experience performance anxiety with anything, and it can become a pattern. With treatment, this is a challenge that can be reduced and even overcome.
Fear of failure therapy & counselling
Do you suffer from Performance anxiety and would you like to get some help how to deal with this? Therapy and counselling can help.
