Talia Nicholson
Psychologist, PsyBA General
Edgewater, WA 6027
I am a Registered Psychologist with a particular interest in working with current and former Australian Defence Force (ADF) members, veterans, and emergency services personnel. My work focuses primarily on trauma and the impact that high-pressure, demanding, or difficult experiences can have on the way people think, feel, behave, and relate to themselves and others. I have a particular appreciation for people who are used to functioning under pressure, getting the job done, and perhaps putting their own needs somewhere further down the list.

I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they can’t break—particularly around substance use, mental health, and emotional regulation. Many are dealing with stress, burnout, relationship strain, or past experiences that still impact their daily life. Some are in recovery and want to stay on track; others know something needs to change. I provide a structured, trauma-informed space where you’re supported and challenged, building insight, coping skills, and real-life strategies to help you regain control and move forward.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or navigating change — whether you’re a young person finding your place, a woman juggling multiple roles, or someone simply needing space to breathe and make sense of things. Many of the people I work with are managing stress, identity shifts, neurodiversity, relationships, emotional wellbeing or that quiet sense that something isn’t quite right. Often, they’re not looking to be “fixed” — they want understanding, clarity and practical ways to feel more like themselves again.

Many of the women I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together.
I support women who struggle with relationship challenges, low self-confidence, chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and the lingering impact of trauma. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling disconnected from your body, or constantly doubting your worth. On the outside you appear “fine", but inside you feel broken. You're not.

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.
