You Don’t Need to Be a Therapist to Be Life Changing


There’s a belief that stops too many brilliant people from ever making a difference.

“I’m not qualified enough.”
“I didn’t go to university.”
“I’m not a therapist, so who would trust me?”

But here’s the truth: some of the most powerful support for anxiety doesn’t come from people with letters after their name.

It comes from people who’ve sat with fear.
Who’ve seen it in their child, their classroom, their clients, or themselves.
People who understand anxiety not because they studied it — but because they recognise it when it walks into the room.

A new kind of role is emerging

Anxiety coaching is becoming a recognised path in schools, organisations, and communities.

It doesn’t replace therapy. But it fills a gap — providing practical, skills-based support that helps people move forward.

And you don’t need a psychology degree to offer that kind of help.
You need training that is structured, accredited, and focused on what actually works in real life.
That’s what the STILL Method Anxiety Coach Training Programme provides.

What makes a great anxiety coach?

Not your A-levels.
Not whether you’ve read Freud.
Not whether you can write a case study in academic language.

What makes a great coach is this:

  • You listen without rushing.

  • You hold space without fixing.

  • You trust someone’s capacity to grow, even when they’re afraid.

  • You believe anxiety doesn’t mean broken — it means needing a different map.

That kind of insight can’t always be taught in textbooks. But it can be refined, strengthened, and focused through training.

What if your lived experience is your strength?

If you’ve:

  • Walked through anxiety yourself

  • Supported an anxious child

  • Worked with struggling students

  • Held the weight of someone else’s worry on your shoulders

…you might already be closer than you think.

The question isn’t “Am I qualified enough?”
It’s “Am I ready to learn how to turn that experience into something others can lean on?”
