Anxiety Psychologists and Therapists in Indooroopilly, QLD
If you’re looking for a psychologist who is warm, grounded, and takes your anxiety seriously, I would be glad to work with you.
I provide a welcoming space, for acknowledgment, healing, and growth. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t see therapy as something “done to” you, but something we work through together. I’m interested not only in what is happening for you now, but how it makes sense given your history, relationships, and the strategies you’ve used to survive and cope. Many of those strategies were once necessary, even if they’re no longer serving you.

I understand that something significant has likely brought you here. Perhaps you’ve experienced challenging events in the past, are facing life-changing circumstances, or even though everything seems fine externally, you’re struggling internally.
For many, therapy can feel like a last resort. You might have tried other ways to feel better and whilst those steps can be helpful, difficult psychological struggles require specific psychological support. Reaching out to a therapist means sharing deeply personal with a complete stranger. This requires genuine vulnerability and it's natural to feel uncertain about booking a first session.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
