Rowena Harris Counselling
Counsellor, MA, ACA-L2
Bayswater North, VIC 3153
I provide counselling support and guidance for adults experiencing mental health challenges, and those who have been diagnosed and newly diagnosed, with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Regarding ADHD, the impacts can be huge, upsetting and challenging in both personal and work life, with planning, organising, goal setting and focussing. Thus, gaining knowledge and understanding brings about awareness of how neurodivergent brains work and the need for both emotional and practical support being very important. It is all about how to work with your ADHD diagnosis and not against it.

It gets full-on at times. Life feels demanding, people seem harsh or confusing, the hurt feels overwhelming, and the answers seem so far away. Other times, you’re left wondering what the point of it all is, and whether there is more to life. I want to help however I can. Helping people to understand themselves, navigate relationships, perceive the world more clearly, and discover meaning in life brings me great joy. Even better is helping people find their own innate resources to cope and to heal.

Dr Anda Julia Vintiloiu
Psychologist, PsychD, PsyBA General
Hawthorn East, VIC 3123
I have extensive experience working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, as well as eating and personality disorders.
In my experience, the most meaningful moments in therapy come when something you've sensed all along finally becomes clear enough to put into words—and can begin to guide you towards a more authentic life. I work primarily from a psychodynamic and systemic perspective, while drawing on CBT and mindfulness to address more debilitating symptoms when helpful.

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.
