Anxiety treatment in Darwin
Warm, evidence-based support for anxiety
Anxiety treatment in Darwin is provided through individual counselling sessions with a clinical psychologist. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns of worry, panic, avoidance, and physiological stress responses, while building practical skills for managing anxiety effectively.
Anxiety can involve persistent worry, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge. With the right support, many people learn to manage anxious thoughts, reduce physical symptoms, and feel more balanced in daily life.
If anxiety is starting to interfere with your wellbeing, relationships, or work, therapy can help.
- Do you often feel on edge, as though something bad is about to happen?
- Do you find yourself worrying excessively about the past, present, or future?
- Are you struggling to concentrate, remember things, or relax?
I offer individual counselling for anxiety in Darwin during scheduled clinics, with telehealth counselling options where appropriate.
What is Anxiety?
Most people experience anxiety from time to time. Situations such as preparing for an interview, sitting an exam, or meeting new people can naturally trigger anxious feelings.
However, anxiety can become problematic when worry feels constant, excessive, or difficult to control. For some people, anxiety begins to dominate thoughts and behaviours, making everyday activities feel exhausting or unmanageable.
Anxiety can present in different ways. Some people experience persistent worry, others feel physical symptoms, and some may experience panic attacks or compulsive behaviours. When anxiety starts to impact your quality of life, professional support can help you regain a sense of balance and control.
Common symptoms of anxiety
Anxiety can affect both the mind and body. You may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- acing or intrusive thoughts
- Increased awareness of your heartbeat
- Chest tightness or shortness of breath
- Churning or unsettled stomach
- Nausea
- Muscle tension
- Headaches
- Sweating or clammy hands
- Trembling or shaking
Anxiety can be distressing, but it is also highly treatable with the right support.

Anxiety treatment in Darwin
It’s not always easy to acknowledge that anxiety has become difficult to manage alone. Many people try to push through, minimise it, or hope it will pass.
Evidence-based therapy focuses on understanding how anxiety operates, identifying patterns that maintain it, and developing practical strategies that reduce its impact over time.
As an experienced clinical psychologist, I provide evidence-based treatment tailored to your needs. Since 2010, I’ve supported people from diverse backgrounds using approaches including cognitive and mindfulness-based therapies. Therapy is collaborative and paced to feel manageable and supportive.
How I can help
Therapy for anxiety isn’t about eliminating feelings — it’s about learning new ways to respond to them. With support, many people become better able to manage anxious thoughts, reduce physical symptoms, and re-engage with life more fully.
Appointments are available in person in Darwin during scheduled clinics. Telehealth may also be available where appropriate.
