Anxiety Treatment
Understanding anxiety—and learning how to manage it
At NorthPsych Adelaide, we regularly support individuals of all ages who are struggling with anxiety. Whether it’s a constant hum in the background or a sudden rush that feels overwhelming, anxiety can take a real toll on your wellbeing, relationships, and confidence. The good news is—effective, evidence-based treatment is available, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
Our psychologists use a tailored blend of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and insight-oriented approaches to help you understand your anxiety, build skills to regulate it, and gradually regain a sense of control. If you experience panic attacks—those intense, sudden waves of fear and physical symptoms—we can also help you make sense of what’s happening and reduce their frequency and impact over time.
Anxiety can show up in many ways: persistent worry, overthinking, low self-esteem, irritability, tension, difficulty sleeping, or a racing mind that won’t switch off. You might find yourself avoiding situations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling on edge for no clear reason. For children and teenagers, anxiety often looks like meltdowns, perfectionism, school refusal, or physical symptoms like headaches and stomach aches. At any age, untreated anxiety can quietly erode quality of life—but with the right support, it can also be managed and meaningfully improved.
Whether your anxiety has a clear cause or seems to come out of nowhere, we’ll work with you to understand the patterns at play and develop strategies that make a difference. Therapy isn’t just about reducing symptoms—it’s about helping you feel more grounded, capable, and at ease in your own life.
