Get Help for an Anxiety Disorder

Persistent worry, fear, or restlessness may indicate an excessive anxiety disorder. At Energetics Institute, we provide a safe, confidential space where individuals can gain insight into their condition and begin the journey to recovery. Our counselling services use evidence based techniques, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which is known to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms.

CBT helps clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier responses to anxiety-provoking situations. This cognitive restructuring is especially helpful for those who experience anxiety in the form of intrusive thoughts, social phobia, or obsessive compulsive disorder.

Physical symptoms like muscle tension, a racing heart, or shortness of breath can feel like a medical emergency but often stem from anxiety. We address this by teaching calming strategies such as breathwork and progressive muscle relaxation.

Recognising the specific type of anxiety is crucial for effective anxiety treatment, as many as 3 million Australians are living with anxiety, and 1 in 4 Australians will experience an anxiety related disorder at some point in their lives. Anxiety can stem from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, psychological, and developmental factors.
