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.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with thoughtful, capable adults who may understand their anxiety intellectually yet still find themselves reacting when triggered. Together, we look beneath the anxiety to understand the patterns, triggers and underlying dynamics driving it. Rather than only managing symptoms, the work develops greater awareness and capacity to respond differently, creating more clarity, choice and inner space.

Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting issues that clients step into my therapy room wanting to "fix" or overcome. Often I talk to my clients about how anxiety is actually a healthy part of our nervous system and emotional body, it's like our fire alarm warning of potential danger. But sometimes this alarm becomes overactive to too sensitive and we can slowly peel back the layers of a client's experience to understand what is fuelling this fear. If you'd like to know more about how we can work together book in for a free 15 minute phone consult via my website.

Fear and anxiety are a normal part of life but sometimes they get in the way of a happy and fulfilling life. Therapy can help by understanding where these thoughts and feelings are coming from.
