Anxiety Counselling

Northern Rivers, NSW

Anxiety is something we may all experience from time to time, but for some people, anxiety can be a debilitating battle they live every day. Daily pressures, expectations and the negative experiences all contribute to feelings of anxiety. 

It may feel that there is no end to the anxiety, but if you’re struggling to cope with anxiety, Anne’s counselling sessions can help you learn to manage your symptoms and regain control of your life. In many instances it is possible to completely resolve the anxiety altogether.

Anxiety is a normal human emotion and is a response to a perceived or real threat. It’s that feeling of worry, panic, or stress that is felt in the body. A racing heart, feeling faint, brain fog, sweating or an intense desire to leave are all feelings of anxiety. 

Feelings of anxiety can be triggered by a whole host of things including internal ruminating thoughts, external events such as stress or worry, or via our senses of sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. 

For some, anxiety is a short-lived emotion that passes once the threat has passed. But for others, anxiety is a chronic condition that interferes with their daily life. When anxiety is severe and persistent, it’s known as anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in Australia, with around one in six people affected. Types of anxiety disorders include generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and phobias.

Counselling — An Effective Way To Treat Anxiety

Anxiety Therapy Byron Shire

If you’re struggling to cope with anxiety, counselling can be a helpful way to manage your symptoms and regain control of your life. Anxiety therapy is a form of talking therapy that can help you identify the thoughts, behaviours and triggers that contribute to your anxiety. It can also teach you how to manage your anxiety in a more positive way.

The therapy process is usually provided by a psychologist or counsellor and is delivered in individual session. Sometimes anxiety counsellors will offer group therapy.

How Anxiety Counselling Can Help

  • Learning anxiety management: Can teach you skills to help you manage anxiety in your day-to-day life. This may include relaxation techniques, breathing exercises and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
  • Identifying anxiety triggers: Everything from work stress to family conflict can trigger anxiety. Counselling can help you identify the things that trigger your anxiety so that you can avoid them or be better prepared to deal with them.
  • Changing negative thinking: Negative thinking is a common feature of anxiety disorders. I can help you challenge and change negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to anxiety.
  • Building self-confidence: Anxiety can lead to low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness. Counselling can help you build self-confidence and learn to value yourself.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, working with Anne can be a helpful way to manage your symptoms and regain control of your life.

COUNSELLING ENQUIRIES

Anxiety Counselling FAQ’s

Anxiety counselling is a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about your worries and fears with a qualified counsellor. At Northern Rivers Counselling, we help you understand the causes of your anxiety, how it affects your daily life, and teach you strategies to reduce its impact.

If you often feel tense, restless, or overwhelmed by worry – or if anxiety is affecting your work, relationships, sleep, or health – counselling may help. You don’t need to wait until things feel unmanageable; support is available at any stage.

Counselling can help you identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop practical coping tools. We might explore techniques like relaxation, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and gradual exposure to feared situations, all tailored to your needs.

Not exactly – but they can overlap. Anxiety counselling can address a wide range of anxiety issues, including general worry, social anxiety, and panic attacks. If panic attacks are part of your experience, we can work on specific strategies to manage and reduce them.

Everyone is different. Some people notice changes within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll discuss your goals and progress regularly so your counselling plan stays flexible and responsive.

Only if you want to. While exploring past experiences can sometimes help, anxiety counselling often focuses on the here-and-now – what’s happening in your life and how you can feel better moving forward.

Yes – we offer both in-person and secure online sessions, so you can choose what’s most comfortable and convenient for you, whether you’re in the Northern Rivers region or anywhere in Australia.
