For many people, the lead up of the driving test can be just as bad as the test itself. Thoughts of what might happen, or what could go wrong, can bring on anxiety and stress.

Many of my clients have experienced some or all of the following symptoms;

* Fear of impending doom in the run up to the test.

* Feeling nauseous, a dry mouth, generally run down.

* A shaky leg or trembling hands when driving or
 changing gear.

* Inability to concentrate or recall information during the written test

* The feeling of social disgrace, with friends and family waiting to see if they have passed, and also listening to all their friends stories about how they 'passed first time- and it was so, so, easy!'

* If the client then does actually fail a driving test, this then adds even more pressure on them for any future test that they may take.
