Anxiety Treatment Gold Coast
Anxiety can be a normal emotional response under times when we feel stressed or worried by life’s pressures such as work deadlines, sitting exams, or speaking in front of people. However, for some people these anxious feelings can be more frequent, happen for no apparent reason, and really start to have a disabling effect on day-to-day life. One in four Australians suffer with an “Anxiety Disorder” making anxiety the most common mental health disorder.
The good news is that there are very effective, evidenced-based treatments for anxiety disorders. Our Gold Coast Psychologists offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapies for the treatment of anxiety disorders. This involves completing a thorough assessment of your anxiety to understand your triggers and fears and what maintains them. Next we teach you a number of behavioural and cognitive strategies to deal with your fears more effectively. The final step is supporting you to face and overocme your fears with the help of your anxiety disorders therapist.
