For many Oran Park adults, anxiety doesn't announce itself with a dramatic moment. It builds gradually. The to-do list that never stops growing, the Sunday night dread, the way your body tenses before you even know what you're worried about. At some point, you realise this level of worry isn't normal, and it's affecting everything.
Racing thoughts that keep you awake or make it hard to concentrate at work
Saying no to invitations or opportunities because of how they make you feel
Jaw clenching, shoulder tension, or unexplained aches and pains
Needing to check and re-check things or prepare excessively for simple tasks
A sense of dread or unease that you can't quite explain
Feeling exhausted from the mental effort of getting through each day

Questions Oran Park adults frequently ask about anxiety therapy.
Everyone worries sometimes. An anxiety disorder is when worry becomes persistent, excessive, and starts interfering with your daily life, work, or relationships. If anxiety is stopping you from doing things you want or need to do, it's likely more than just normal worry.
Yes. Even long-standing anxiety responds to evidence-based treatment. In fact, many of our clients have lived with anxiety for years before seeking help and are surprised by how much things can change. It's never too late to learn new ways of managing it.
Sessions usually involve checking in on how your week went, working through specific situations or thought patterns using CBT techniques, and practising new skills together. You'll also receive strategies to use between sessions so the work continues throughout the week.
Absolutely not. The first session is about building a picture of what's going on at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Your psychologist will guide the conversation but never push you to share more than you're ready to. Trust builds over time.
Yes, very commonly. Anxiety can cause headaches, muscle tension, stomach problems, dizziness, chest tightness, and fatigue. Many people visit their GP multiple times for physical symptoms before realising anxiety is the underlying cause. Treating the anxiety often resolves these physical issues too.
