ANXIETY PSYCHOLOGIST SUTHERLAND SHIRE
Anxiety-Focused Therapy
While it may look like you've got it all together on the outside, on the inside, anxiety leaves you feeling irritable and like you could fall apart at the seams at any minute.
​
Anxiety makes you feel like you always have to be "on" and leaves you stuck with overwhelming thoughts and a knot in your stomach that won't let up.​
​
Perhaps you are one of those people who believes you don't have the "traditional" form of anxiety - but you worry constantly about your job, your relationships, your health, and your future. You may also worry about things that might happen, things that have already happened, and things that probably won't happen.
You regret things you've said, end up second-guessing your own decisions, and play out future conversations in your head to make sure you get it right.
​In the face of unbearable stress and overwhelm, you may even experience an anxiety attack or panic attack - symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, heart racing, shaking, sweating, and panicked thoughts about "going crazy".​
​
Anxiety robs you of enjoying your life and being present, and gives your fears more power than they deserve.
​
It might be hard to imagine, but therapy for anxiety can help you feel more in control over your thoughts and feelings.
​
By working with a psychologist experienced in treating anxiety with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy, you can learn to quiet the constant uneasy thoughts and feel empowered in yourself and in your decisions.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE US FOR ANXIETY THERAPY
Treating Anxiety at Tender Studio
​We help clients identify their triggers for anxiety but also explore why they are triggers. Anxiety can stem from family stress, life transitions, racial trauma, perfectionism, fear of abandonment, fear of failure, or not knowing how to emotionally regulate.
​
We work with high levels of stress and overwhelm, as well as specific disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder (ongoing feelings of anxiety and dread), Panic Disorder (sudden periods of intense fear and loss of control, even without danger or a trigger), Social Anxiety Disorder (intense fear of being evaluated by others), Phobia-Related Disorders (intense fear of a specific situation), and Separation Anxiety Disorder (fear of being separated from people you are attached to and worry something will happen to them while separated), and OCD (intense anxiety and compulsive behaviours to reduce this anxiety).
​
Tender Studio Psychology treats anxiety with evidence-based therapies such as:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which focuses on specific coping skills to decrease anxiety symptoms
-
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), which focuses on strategies you can use during panic attacks and ways you can learn to tolerate distress, and
-
Schema Therapy, which focuses on finding the root cause of your anxiety and overwhelm
​
We truly believe in the power of therapy for anxiety - we've seen firsthand our clients finally find freedom.
