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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In 2022 i have undergone TRTP through Anne and it has absolutely changed my life and turned my life around. I had so much truma from a divorce and family abuse that has been bottle up for years and felt unworthy and big failure in my life. Thanks to Anne i have succeeded more in life in 2 years then i have all my life. I have overcome my truma’s and have tackled life head on with a clear and peaceful mindset. Im no longer angry or triggered. After 2 years this is my genuine review i feel so much better iv accomplished so much in life in such a short time and happily re-married and enjoying the cream and the cherry on the cake. Words cannot express to those who have truma to undertake the TRTP program through Anne because everyone is valuable, life is valuable and the grass is always greener. Just believe in the process like i have and you will pick the fruit from the tree you have been watering. Thank you Anne so much..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a referral from a friend who spoke highly of Anne, I made contact for TRTP. I was initially worried that my anxieties would get the better of me and not be able to complete the process. Anne was able to reassure me, talk me through TRTP and I completed the sessions in May 2023. I highly recommend completing TRTP with Anne and the results are instant. The ‘felt experience’ is amazing. I came out of this process a much calmer person who was no longer in flight or fight mode 24/7. I felt safe with Anne throughout this process. A few weeks after TRTP my mother passed away and I have been working with Anne as a Counsellor to manage my grief. Anne has helped me through the stages that come with grief. I am very grateful to Anne for having a safe space to open up for what has been a very challenging time. I highly recommend Anne and TRTP.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Anne. I have been having therapy sessions with Anne continiously for the past 2 years. After 20+ years of trying many others I have never found any to care and help and actually treat certain traumas I have like Anne has and continues to do so. Anne truly is my angel sent from above, without her I do not know where I would be today. Your Awesome 🙏

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been seeing Anne Serrey for anger management and for TRTP as part of my court ordered diversion since April. I can comfortably say that slapping the guy that brought me to these counselling sessions was the best thing I've ever done. Absolutely life changing. I feel much lighter, I feel free, and unstuck for the first time since exiting my mother's uterus thirty odd years ago. Thanks so much Anne for all your help and your continued support. Highly recommend Anne's services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anne is amazing, TRTP has changed my entire outlook on life, how I interact with people, and what I’m doing. In the few months since TRTP my life has honestly changed so much for the better, it’s beyond what I could have ever imagined. My friends and family are also noticing it! And amazingly, every day gets better. Thank you so much Anne!

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.

COUNSELLING ENQUIRIES

Anxiety Counselling FAQ’s

What is anxiety counselling?

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.

How do I know if I need anxiety counselling?

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.

How can counselling help with anxiety?

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.

Is anxiety counselling the same as treatment for panic attacks?

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.

How long does it take to see results?

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.

Will I have to talk about my past?

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.

Can I have sessions online?

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.
