Feeling anxious, on edge, or constantly overwhelmed can be exhausting. If anxiety is interfering with your sleep, work, relationships, or ability to relax, you don’t have to manage it alone. I provide anxiety-focused psychology services in Brisbane, supporting adults who experience persistent worry, panic, racing thoughts, and nervous system overwhelm using compassionate, evidence-based therapy.

Support for Anxiety Disorders & Chronic Stress

Anxiety can show up in many ways and often looks different from person to person. Some people experience intense physical symptoms, while others feel trapped in cycles of worry or mental exhaustion.

I commonly support clients experiencing:

• Generalised anxiety

• Panic attacks or panic disorder

• Health anxiety

• Social anxiety

• High-functioning anxiety

• Occupational anxiety, bullying and harassment

• Chronic stress and burnout

• Racing thoughts and rumination

• Anxiety during major life transitions

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from therapy. If anxiety is affecting your quality of life, support can help.

What Anxiety Can Feel Like

Many people with anxiety are highly capable and appear “fine” on the outside, while internally feeling constantly tense or on alert.

Common experiences include:

• Persistent worry or fear that’s difficult to switch off

• Racing thoughts or mental restlessness

• Tight chest, shortness of breath, or a sense of dread

• Difficulty sleeping or relaxing

• Irritability or emotional overwhelm

• Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety

Anxiety is not a personal weakness — it’s a nervous system doing its best to protect you.

How Anxiety Therapy Can Help

Therapy for anxiety focuses on understanding your nervous system, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building skills that help you feel safer and more regulated.

My approach is:

• Trauma-informed and compassionate

• Evidence-based, drawing from CBT, ACT, and nervous-system–informed strategies

• Collaborative and practical, tailored to your life and capacity

Sessions may involve:

• Learning how anxiety operates in the body and brain

• Reducing avoidance and safety behaviours

• Working with intrusive or catastrophic thoughts

• Building emotional regulation and grounding skills

• Increasing confidence and tolerance of uncertainty

What to Expect in Sessions

Therapy is a supportive, non-judgemental space where we move at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions are practical and focused on helping you feel more in control — without pushing you beyond your limits.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s “wrong” before starting. Many clients come to therapy simply knowing they don’t want to keep feeling this way.

Medicare, Referrals & Fees

You may be eligible for Medicare rebates with a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Private fee options are also available.

If you’re unsure whether anxiety therapy is right for you, or how referrals work, you’re welcome to get in touch.
