Anxiety Counselling in Cairns and online

If you’ve been living with constant worry, racing thoughts, or a sense of unease you just can’t shake, you’re not alone. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people reach out for counselling.

For some, it feels like a tight chest and difficulty breathing. For others, it shows up as overthinking, restlessness, irritability, or trouble sleeping. However it appears for you, anxiety can take a toll on your wellbeing, relationships, and ability to enjoy life.

The good news? Support is available, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore the root causes of your anxiety while also learning practical strategies to manage symptoms. Together, we might work on:

• Understanding your unique triggers and patterns
   
• Building grounding and calming techniques to regulate your nervous system
   
• Shifting unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety
   
• Exploring deeper themes, such as past experiences, perfectionism, or self-worth
   
• Strengthening resilience so you can respond to stress in healthier ways
   

I use a gentle, trauma-informed and person-centred approach, meaning our sessions are tailored to you and your needs. I draw on methods such as EFT Tapping, talk therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies to help you feel calmer, more balanced, and more in control.

This isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about giving you tools, support, and space to understand yourself more deeply and create meaningful change.

As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with nearly 10 years’ experience, I’ve supported many people in Cairns and online across Australia to move through anxiety and reconnect with a sense of calm.

My role is to listen without judgment, honour your story, and walk alongside you at your own pace.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, know that things can get better. Reaching out for help is a powerful first step toward change.
