Anxiety
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.

Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Anxiety and fears can hijack your life, keeping you trapped in cycles of worry, avoidance, and physical tension that feel impossible to break. Having experienced acute anxiety myself, I understand how overwhelming and isolating these feelings can be. My approach to anxiety goes beyond coping strategies to address the subconscious programming that triggers your fear responses. Using Subconscious Dynamics™, we access the deep-seated beliefs, memories, and patterns that fuel your anxiety, allowing you to rewire your nervous system's automatic reactions. This holistic method helps you move from survival mode to a place of calm confidence, where you can face life's challenges without being controlled by fear. Many clients experience significant relief within just a few sessions as we transform the root causes of their anxiety.

Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
Anxiety and phobias can be debilitating. While CBT and mindfulness can be helpful, they are not the only treatment for anxiety. I tailor my approach to your needs, whether this is general support or more structured therapies.
