Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Anxiety often arrives as constant alertness, overthinking, or never quite being able to put things down. With many of the people I work with, it is tied to long-term responsibility, trauma, or being the one who has held everything together. The work is partly practical (regulation, sleep, pacing) and partly the deeper question of what your nervous system has been responding to. We move at a pace that doesn't ask the body to perform calm before it is ready.

Anxiety can show up in sneaky ways as racing thoughts, avoidance, irritability, overplanning. I work with clients to slow things down, build awareness, and gently face the discomfort with strategies that stick.

Tyla Stroebel
Psychologist, BA Psych Hons; MSc
Anxiety isn’t a weakness, it’s your brain doing its best to protect you (sometimes a little too much). We support children and adults in understanding their fears, calming their nervous systems, and building trust in themselves. Our approach is gentle, collaborative, and tailored to how your brain and body process stress, not just a list of “just try mindfulness” tips.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MIAEB, FRAI
FEAR! The strongest of ALL emotions. Paradoxically it's been fundamental to our evolutionary success: particularly fleeing predators and other sources of harm. It's kept us alive for the 200,000 years of our existence as humans. We're not all that strong, we don't have claws and fangs --but we can run long distances! And it matters not one bit that our fear of that growl in the undergrowth may be unfounded. We can get that wrong 1000 times and if we flee we survive as a consequence.
Just as your smoke alarm has one volume (LOUD!) it's natural to be fearful of what we perceive may harm us. We often overestimate the size and proximity of threats and conversely underestimate our ability to cope. Fear is powerful BUT it can often interfere with logic and reason. That's why we need to respect fear and reassess our relationship to it. And courage is not the absence of fear; mindset is everything and mindset can be developed to ensure we have optimal strategies for the stresses and adversities that regularly afflict us.

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
I know first hand how anxiety or unprocessed fears can show up in our body and our mind - overthinking, imaging worst-case scenarios, heart racing. It can feel like sensations in our body are turned up full volume and as if everything else feels very far away and out of reach; it can be quite a destabilising and isolating experience. But it doesn´t have to be.
Through support and training, I have learned to regulate and resource myself in times of worry and panic, to the point that I am hardly ever activated, and when I am, I know how to ride the wave with confidence and ease.
I now pass on these practices with the women I serve who experience great relief from being able to brave the elements when their anxiety storm arises, empowering them to the point that the frequency, duration and intensity significantly reduces and they finally feel a sense of peace and calm within themselves again.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Anxiety can feel like your mind and body are working against you — racing thoughts, a tight chest, a sense that something's always about to go wrong. If you're tired of feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of worry, let's work together to help you find steadier ground.
The first step in working with anxiety is understanding that your nervous system isn't broken — it's doing its best to protect you, even when that protection no longer serves you. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where your anxiety comes from, both in your thoughts and in your body, and build tools that actually fit your life. My approach combines somatic awareness, self-compassion, and practical strategies, helping you feel more grounded, present, and in control.
You don't have to white-knuckle your way through this. Let's take the first step toward calm and a more spacious way of living.

Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety and fear often develop for good reasons. While they can become overwhelming or limiting, I don't see them simply as symptoms to eliminate, but as meaningful responses that have helped you adapt to the circumstances of your life. Together, we'll approach these experiences with curiosity and compassion, seeking to understand what they are communicating rather than working against them.
Working with anxiety requires a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and paced with care. I'll take time to understand who you are, what has shaped you, and what you need now. We may explore your developmental history, attachment relationships, nervous system, intergenerational patterns, and the wider social and environmental contexts that influence your experience. As anxiety begins to make more sense, many people find they develop a greater sense of self-understanding, choice, and freedom in how they respond to life's uncertainties.

Anxiety, Fear & Emotional Overwhelm - Complimentary Consultation
Do you often feel weighed down by anxiety or persistent mental tension?
For many people with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, anxiety develops as the mind tries to manage overwhelm, uncertainty and constant mental activity.
Together we explore the connection between attention, emotions and the nervous system, and develop practical ways to regulate anxiety, regain emotional balance and respond to challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Using a neuroscience-informed and strengths-based approach, I help clients build healthier emotional patterns so anxiety no longer drives their decisions or limits their life.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore whether this approach is right for you.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Anxiety is essentially rooted in a heightened state of vigilance and tension. We have 'forgotten' how to let go. Here's a simple example. When we cross a busy road or drive a car we need to be extra vigilant and aware of our surroundings. We don't need that same level of attention when sitting comfortably at home, yet somehow it is still there. By bringing this habitual tension into conscious awareness and exploring its origins, we can help your nervous system rediscover how to unwind and embrace life fully.
