What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a condition that can manifest as persistent unease, fear, or stress. Common symptoms include restlessness, racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and physical signs like rapid heart rate or muscle tension. Left untreated, anxiety can escalate and impact your quality of life.

Based on the 2021 Census of Population and Housing, over 8 million Australians (32%) reported being diagnosed with a long-term health condition, with 2.2 million (9%) identifying mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. These figures highlight how widespread anxiety is and emphasize the need for accessible support and effective treatment to help individuals manage their mental health and lead fulfilling lives.

Overcome Anxiety with Professional Anxiety Treatment

At Emotional Health Counselling, I focus on achieving results through innovative and holistic methods. Here’s what makes my approach effective:

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety Relief

Hypnotherapy works by engaging the subconscious mind to replace negative thought patterns with healthier, more constructive behaviours. This method is especially effective for reducing the intensity of anxiety triggers and promoting relaxation.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP techniques help reframe limiting beliefs that fuel anxiety. By focusing on the language and patterns of thought, clients can experience improved emotional resilience and confidence.

The Emotion Code

The Emotion Code targets trapped emotions contributing to feelings of worry and fear. This innovative method facilitates emotional release, allowing for a profound sense of relief.

Personalised Sessions

Each session is focused on identifying and addressing the specific causes of your anxiety, equipping you with tools to navigate future challenges.

In-Person & Online Services

Conveniently located in Garran, Canberra, my clinic provides a safe and supportive environment for in-person therapy. For those in regional ACT or NSW, I offer secure online counselling sessions that bring expert help directly to your home.
