What it can feel like.

Everyone feels anxious at times. It’s part of how the brain keeps us safe. When worry feels constant, or starts to get in the way of work, sleep or relationships, it may be time to talk to someone.

  • Racing thoughts or constant “what if” thinking
  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
  • A pounding heart, sweating, a tight chest or nausea
  • Avoiding situations that feel overwhelming
  • Feeling tense, restless or easily startled

Anxiety isn’t a personal failing. It’s the body’s alarm system working in overdrive.

How we approach anxiety

Our psychologists use approaches grounded in evidence, shaped around you and your life.

  1. 1

    Understanding your experience

    Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for you, including the situations, thoughts, body sensations and avoidance patterns involved. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.

  2. 2

    Choosing an approach together

    Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit you, then you agree on a plan together.

  3. 3

    Reviewing the plan together

    Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you, using measures chosen for you and what you’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.

What support can include
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Looks at unhelpful thought patterns and works towards more balanced ones.
  • Exposure therapy Gradual, supported steps towards situations you’ve been avoiding.
  • Mindfulness and relaxation Practical tools to help calm the body and quiet the mind.
  • Emotion regulation skills Ways to manage stress before it escalates.
  • Problem-solving tools A step-by-step way to work through challenges.
  • Strengths-based identity work Encourages you to see yourself as capable, not defined by anxiety.

Psychologists who work with couples

Behind your psychologist

Depth behind the person you see

You see one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.

  • Trained for the work in front of them

    Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.

  • Enough of us to match you properly

    With 25+ psychologists, we can put you with someone who works with what you’re facing, your age group, and the way you like to work.

  • Keeping up, on purpose

    New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.

If something isn’t working.

Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.

  • Ask for a different psychologist

    We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.

  • Talk it through with your psychologist

    Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.

  • Wondering about medication?

    If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP with what we’ve found, with your consent.

Questions, answered.

Can’t see yours? Our Client Care team can help on 1300 151 110.

Do I need a referral to book?

No. You can book directly with us. To claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan.

Do you only focus on symptoms, or do you explore the bigger picture?

Both. We look at the immediate challenges anxiety creates, like worry, panic or sleeplessness, and the patterns and triggers that keep it going.

How do I know if my anxiety is more than everyday stress?

Stress is a natural response to life’s pressures. Anxiety may be more than this if it feels constant, is hard to control, or stops you from doing things you value, such as working, socialising or sleeping well.

What can I expect in therapy for anxiety?

Sessions are collaborative and practical. You’ll explore what anxiety looks like for you, set goals and work through strategies step by step, with tools to use in real situations, not just in the therapy room.

Can therapy help if I’ve been anxious for years?

You can start therapy at any point. Your psychologist will look at what has kept anxiety going and work with you on new ways to respond, however long you’ve lived with it.
