Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Therapy focuses on the provision of a nurturing and empathetic space for individuals to delve into the underlying sources and root causes of their anxieties. Utilising evidence-based techniques (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients are empowered to develop practical coping skills for anxiety management and fear modification. Whether the focus is on generalised anxiety, trauma-related concerns, specific phobias, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, social anxiety, or other anxiety-related challenges, the primary objective is to help clients reduce distress and enhance emotional well-being. The therapeutic approach is collaborative, aiming to cultivate resilience and instill a renewed sense of overall well-being in clients.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons)
I understand anxiety not simply as something to eliminate, but as an experience that can develop in response to earlier relational patterns, attachment experiences and protective strategies. I use a trauma-informed, somatic and IFS-informed approach to understand what anxiety may be communicating and develop greater internal safety and flexibility.

Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
work with anxiety from a somatic and nervous-system-informed perspective, recognising that anxiety is often less about faulty thinking and more about a body that has learned to stay on high alert. Rather than trying to suppress or “get rid of” anxious thoughts, we focus on gently understanding how anxiety lives in your body and what it is trying to communicate.
Through somatic awareness, pacing, and embodied regulation, we work to increase your capacity to stay present with uncomfortable sensations without becoming overwhelmed. This approach helps reduce chronic tension, racing thoughts, panic symptoms, and the sense of being constantly on edge. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and the ability to respond to life with more choice rather than reactivity.
This work is especially helpful if you’ve tried traditional talk therapy or cognitive approaches and found that anxiety still returns in the body.

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.
