Anxiety Therapy in Fitzroy

It’s normal to feel anxious before an exam, job interview, or big life change. But when anxiety becomes constant, overwhelming, or starts interfering with your daily life, it may be more than just everyday worry.

How Anxiety Can Feel

Anxiety can affect your body, thoughts, and behaviour. Common experiences include:

• Excessive worry or racing thoughts that are hard to switch off

• Feeling restless, on edge, or keyed up

• Physical symptoms such as a racing heart, chest tightness, stomach upset, or muscle tension

• Sleep difficulties—trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking early

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Avoiding situations that feel stressful or overwhelming

• Irritability or feeling easily overwhelmed by daily demands

Anxiety can show up differently for everyone. Some people notice mainly physical symptoms, while others struggle more with constant overthinking or avoidance.

How We Can Help

At Inner Northern Psychology, our experienced team works with a wide range of anxiety presentations, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety, panic attacks, and performance-related anxiety.

We use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Therapy may include practical strategies for managing anxious thoughts and physical symptoms, alongside deeper exploration of patterns, triggers, and self-beliefs that contribute to anxiety.

Our goal is to provide a supportive and tailored approach—helping you feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to manage life’s challenges.
