Manage Anxiety Disorders with Personalised Support
At Solace Psychology, our anxiety counselling in Melbourne offers support for various kinds of anxiety disorders.
We are experienced mental health professionals who provide compassionate, evidence-based care and a personalised anxiety treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a common emotion that most people experience and is a normal response to a perceived threat or danger.
Nearly everyone feels fear from time to time. However, for people with an anxiety disorder, persistent and intense fear can become overwhelming and affect daily functioning.
Our team at Solace Psychology works with you to understand anxious thoughts, feelings and behaviours through personalised psychological therapy.
Our experienced psychologists use evidence-based therapies to help you manage anxiety, develop coping strategies, and improve your quality of life.
Types of Anxiety Disorders
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
This mental health condition is characterised by excessive and difficult-to-control worry about everyday situations.
It can affect daily functioning and make routine tasks feel overwhelming.
Panic Disorder
This anxiety disorder involves recurring panic attacks, which are sudden episodes of intense fear that may occur without an obvious trigger.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder is characterised by an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed or negatively evaluated in social situations.
Specific Phobias
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
The Impact of Anxiety Disorders
What Causes Anxiety?
Emotional and Physical Effects
Common emotional effects include recurring negative thoughts, withdrawal, avoidance, shame and low self-esteem. Many people also experience physical symptoms, including:
Nausea
Anxiety Treatment Options
One-On-One Counselling for Anxiety Treatment
Our experienced psychologists in Melbourne provide a safe and supportive environment for clients seeking counselling services with one-on-one anxiety treatment sessions. Counselling sessions typically last for 50 minutes.
You can visit us at our Carlton North, Coburg or Kew East practice and experience a calming space, designed to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
Online Anxiety Therapy Sessions
Many of our experienced team members provide telehealth services to help manage anxiety symptoms.
We understand that an in-person appointment does not suit every schedule.
A telehealth appointment can also be a more appealing option for those suffering from agoraphobia or an increase in anxiety when being outside the safety of home.
You can view which of our psychologists offer telehealth appointments via their profile or contact us directly.

Our Approach to Anxiety Counselling
Assessment and Diagnosis
Our clinical psychologists take an integrative approach to the treatment of anxiety, combining evidence-based therapies with a personalised approach.
We recognise that each individual is unique. No one-size-fits-all method exists when it comes to anxiety and stress management.
We will work together to unearth what may be causing your anxiety disorder and the best way to move forward for an unrestricted life.
Building a Therapeutic Relationship
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is effective for anxiety treatment. Also, Schema Therapy addresses deep-rooted patterns contributing to chronic anxiety.
Mindfulness techniques can improve emotional regulation and reduce rumination.
At our core, we are always client-focused. Treating anxiety is a personal process to which we bring compassion and expertise.
Overcoming Anxiety with Our Experienced Psychologists
Building Resilience and Confidence
An experienced psychologist aims to help you overcome anxiety and improve your overall mental well-being. For some clients, this only requires a few sessions. Grounding techniques help individuals stay present by focusing on their senses.
For others, they need continued sessions over longer periods. There’s no singular ‘right way’ to approach your treatment.
Receiving treatment from the right therapist can allow you to build your confidence when encountering situations or environments that cause anxious emotions and behaviours. We work to help mitigate your anxiety and improve your overall quality of life through our sessions.
