An Experienced Anxiety Psychologist in Bondi Junction and Sydney
We all feel anxious from time to time—whether it’s before a big presentation, a job interview, or dealing with a challenging situation. But anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. It’s a natural stress response, but unlike everyday stress, anxiety tends to stick around long after the stressful situation has passed.
When anxiety starts to interfere with your daily life— or starts preventing you from doing things you enjoy, it could be a sign that you’re experiencing an anxiety condition and will benefit from counselling or therapy with an experienced anxiety therapist.

Anxiety Disorder Therapy and Support in Bondi Junction and Sydney
At theselfspace as an experienced anxiety psychologist, I combine a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. We’ll explore these and other approaches to find what resonates best with you. Therapy is flexible, so we’ll adjust and try something different if one approach isn't working. Here’s a little about each approach:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach focuses on understanding and changing unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other challenges. It’s a practical, solution-focused therapy that can help you reframe negative thoughts and build healthier mental habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT combines acceptance and change. It’s particularly useful for managing intense emotions and building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Sometimes, the most powerful tools are the simplest. Mindfulness techniques help bring you into the present moment, reducing stress and helping you feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
