Stress & Anxiety Management

Psychology Centre Newcastle provides focused, evidence-based clinical support for anxiety and stress related issues. Our services include interventions aimed at addressing a variety of anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias, as well as stress-related difficulties.

We recognise the profound impact that anxiety and stress can have on an individual's daily functioning, often manifesting as excessive worry, persistent nervousness, physical tension, panic attacks, and avoidance behaviours. These symptoms can significantly impair an individual's quality of life and hinder their ability to engage fully in various aspects of daily living.

Our team of psychologists is dedicated to helping individuals understand and address the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms. This may involve exploring past experiences of trauma, identifying unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, and addressing perfectionism or unrealistic expectations that may exacerbate anxiety and stress.

Our therapists work collaboratively with clients to develop and implement effective coping strategies such as relaxation techniques, cognitive strategies, and mindfulness-based interventions to enhance present-moment awareness. Additionally, we recognise the interconnectedness of physical and psychological well-being and our holistic approach may involve addressing lifestyle factors such as sleep hygiene, exercise, nutrition, and social support networks.

Our aim is to empower individuals to effectively navigate their anxiety and stress and regain a sense of agency in their lives.
