FAQ
Common questions.
What's the difference between Understanding Anxiety and Overcoming Anxiety?
Understanding Anxiety is the foundational course on what anxiety is, why it shows up, and how minority stress shapes it for queer people. Overcoming Anxiety is the action-led companion course covering practical tools (grounding, reframing, exposure). Many people take them in order, but each works on its own.
Do I need an anxiety diagnosis to take this course?
No. The course is useful whether you have a formal diagnosis, suspect you might be anxious, or just notice anxiety showing up more than feels manageable. No diagnosis required to benefit.
Does this cover queer-specific anxiety like coming out or minority stress?
Yes. A core module is dedicated to minority stress and how anxiety shows up specifically in queer life, from coming-out anticipation to safety-scanning in unfamiliar spaces.
How long are the modules?
Each session is bite-sized, typically 10 to 20 minutes. The course is fully self-paced, so you can pause, return, and re-watch whenever feels useful.
What format is the course in?
Short therapist-led video sessions in the Kalda app, paired with reflective exercises you can do in-app or in your own notebook. Everything is private to you.
How much does Kalda cost?
One lifetime pass of £99 (normally £149) gives you access to this course and every other course in the Kalda library, forever. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, 14-day money-back guarantee.
Is Kalda only for LGBTQIA+ people?
Kalda is built by and for queer people, and the content assumes a queer reader. Anyone is welcome to take a course; the framing, examples and clinical context are written through a queer lens throughout.
What if I am in crisis?
Kalda is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, please contact Samaritans (116 123), Shout (text "Shout" to 85258), or NHS 111. Our safeguarding page lists all routes.
