What to expect during an anxiety therapy session

All sessions are private and confidential.

This is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what you’re experiencing and feel supported throughout the process.

Sessions are held online via Zoom, so you can join from the comfort of your own home.

I’m based in Melbourne and work with women across Australia and internationally.

Sessions run for approximately 60–90 minutes, allowing us to work at a pace that feels right for you.

Before We Go Any Further, We Start With Grounding

One of the first things we’ll do together is help you feel more present, grounded, and comfortable in your body.

We won’t dive straight into your fears, your past, or anything that feels overwhelming.

Instead, I’ll guide you through gentle, body-based strategies to help settle your nervous system and create a sense of safety and stability.

This gives us a grounded place to begin — so we can explore what’s happening underneath your anxiety at a pace that feels manageable for you.

And importantly, these are strategies you can begin using outside our sessions too, so you have something to turn to when anxiety shows up in everyday life.

This is how healing becomes possible — not through force, but through felt safety.

🌿 During our sessions, we may explore:

  • What happens in your body when anxiety shows up — and how to respond with curiosity rather than judgment
  • Ways to ease tension and feel more grounded without forcing yourself to “calm down”
  • The thoughts, emotions, situations or experiences that may be contributing to your anxiety
  • What your fear, freeze or protective responses may be trying to communicate
  • Patterns from the past that may still be influencing how you feel and respond today
  • Practical nervous system regulation strategies you can use between sessions
  • Building more trust in yourself, your emotions and your ability to handle difficult moments

Not Sure If This Is Right for You?

Before we jump into a full session, let’s have a quick, pressure-free chat to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
You can share what’s been coming up, ask any questions, and get a feel for how I work.
