Counselling for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, Sutherland Shire, our psychologists and counsellors provide evidence-based therapy for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). We support children, adolescents, adults and older adults at our Menai psychology practice and online across Australia.
Generalised Anxiety Disorder involves persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations, often without a clear or specific cause. This ongoing anxiety can be difficult to manage and may affect work, relationships, sleep and overall wellbeing.
Common symptoms may include muscle tension, irritability, headaches, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, nausea, fatigue and disrupted sleep. Over time, anxiety can also lead to avoidance, low mood, difficulty managing daily routines.
People with Generalised Anxiety Disorder may also experience low mood, panic attacks, trauma symptoms, or difficulties with attention and focus. You can read more about these related conditions in our pages on Depression Therapy, Panic Disorder, Trauma Counselling and ADHD Therapy.
At Evolving Minds, our psychologists and counsellors take a supportive and collaborative approach, helping clients understand the nature of anxiety, while learning practical strategies to reduce its impact. Therapy helps clients recognise how anxiety shows up in their mind and body, and develop practical tools to manage worry and improve everyday functioning.
Our psychologists and counsellors draw on a range of evidence-based approaches to help clients understand and manage anxiety, including:
