Anxiety Counselling Brisbane
Anxiety affects millions of Australians nationwide, yet remains a poorly understood condition by most people. At CFHP, our Brisbane psychologists are trained to identify and help individuals struggling with anxiety with effective anxiety counselling in Brisbane. Let us help you manage and deal with your anxiety and restore your mental health and well-being.
What is Anxiety?
Everyone experiences being anxious from time to time, as it is the body’s normal way of responding to stressful or tense situations by releasing adrenaline.
At times, however, this anxiety can become overwhelming and debilitating so that, instead of helping you deal with a difficult situation, it begins to hinder your mental well-being.
Common symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder include the following:
- Intense fear or anxiety about being judged or scrutinised by others.
- Avoidance of social situations, such as parties, meetings, or even casual conversations.
- Physical symptoms like sweating, trembling, or a racing heart when faced with social interactions.
- Disturbed sleep patterns.
- Fatigue or feeling consistently tired.
- Restlessness or a constant sense of being on edge.
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling like the mind has gone blank.
- Muscle tension throughout the body.
- Physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea.
Anxiety disorders can manifest differently
Each individual who struggles with an anxiety disorder may experience symptoms differently. One of the most common sensations that are caused by generalised anxiety disorder is “butterflies in the tummy”, or a constant fear or worry that bad things are going to happen. Some people also experience panic attacks and specific phobias such as social phobia, agoraphobia (the fear of open spaces) or an irrational fear of something specific.
Whatever your anxiety symptoms are, our professional anxiety counselling treatment in Brisbane is designed to help you better understand the source of these fears and anxieties, as well as guide you towards healthy ways in which you can manage and move on with your life, without feeling restricted or trapped.
Speak with us
While most people who have anxiety may have been dealing with it their entire life, studies show that the majority of people are diagnosed in their twenties, after having been through a range of physicians and specialists. At CFHP, we aim to make anxiety treatment in Brisbane accessible, effective, and transformative, for all of our clients.

How does anxiety counselling help?
During counselling sessions, our psychologists act as a supportive ally for you, helping identify factors contributing to your anxiety. Based on the conversations we have with you, we will be able to create a personalised plan that includes tips and strategies to help you deal with your anxiety. Many of our clients find it relieving to be able to openly discuss their concerns and experiences with someone who actively listens to them.
After a few sessions of anxiety counselling, you may tend to begin to feel a sense of control over your emotions and life. You may also experience far less general anxiousness and will feel better equipped to manage your anxiety whenever it comes over you.
