Types of anxiety I help with
- Generalised anxiety and chronic worry
- Panic attacks, and avoiding places or situations in case panic hits
- Social anxiety and performance anxiety
- Health anxiety, and needing to check or be reassured again and again
- Anxiety in high-functioning people whose output hides it entirely
What treatment involves
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), centred on gradually facing what you've been avoiding, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and, where worry has been around a long time, work on how you relate to the worry itself.
Facing what you've been avoiding is done in planned, graded steps, and I explain the reasoning behind each one.
A realistic course
Six to twelve sessions for a focused anxiety presentation. Longer where anxiety sits on top of trauma or long-standing perfectionism, in which case anxiety treated only at the surface is more likely to return.
Fees, Medicare rebates and appointments
With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, a Medicare rebate applies to up to 10 sessions per calendar year. You don't need a referral to start.
Available in person in Five Dock, or by video anywhere in NSW.
