- Work with perfectionism and fear of failure
- Develop emotional-regulation strategies for exams
- Strengthen confidence and problem-solving
When other care may also be appropriate
Severe anxiety, depression, self-harm thoughts or significant functional decline require appropriate clinical or urgent support.
