Anxiety and Phobias

Anxiety and stress are uncomfortable emotions to live with. Feeling anxious at times, and in certain situations, is a normal part of life. However, for many people, anxiety becomes persistent, intense, or overwhelming, and begins to significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.

At Common Ground Therapy, we provide evidence-based anxiety therapy in Perth, as well as telehealth psychology services across Australia. There are many effective treatments for anxiety, and with the right support, it is possible to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control.

As an integrative psychologist, therapy draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we work to understand what maintains your anxiety, develop practical coping strategies, and build confidence in managing anxiety in everyday life.

We may be able to assist with:

  • Generalised Anxiety and unmanageable worry

  • Health and Illness Anxiety

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Separation anxiety

  • Specific phobias

  • Panic attacks and panic disorder

  • Social anxiety / social phobia

  • Perinatal anxiety (pre- and post-pregnancy)
