Anxiety Counselling and Therapy – Adelaide, Online & Telehealth Across Australia
Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health conditions in Australia and worldwide, but they are also highly treatable. While occasional anxiety is a normal response, chronic anxiety can interfere with work, study, relationships, and daily functioning.
At Prime Path Psychology Adelaide, our experienced clinical psychologists provide professional, evidence-based anxiety therapy, anxiety counselling, and online anxiety therapy (telehealth). Sessions are available in-person in Adelaide and online across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, and regional areas.
Types of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders can manifest in various ways. Understanding the specific type of anxiety is an important step in accessing appropriate and effective support. Common anxiety disorders include:
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalised Anxiety Disorder is characterised by persistent and excessive worry about everyday matters such as work, finances, health, or family responsibilities. Common symptoms include restlessness, muscle tension, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Professional support, including GAD counselling and generalised anxiety disorder treatment, can assist in reducing excessive worry, developing practical coping strategies, and improving overall functioning. Options such as online GAD therapy are also available for clients across Australia.
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) / Social Phobia
Social Anxiety Disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterised by an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or criticised in social or performance situations. This fear often leads to avoidance of social interactions, public speaking, or group activities, affecting relationships, work, and daily life.
Evidence-based therapy helps individuals understand and manage their fears, reduce anxiety, and build confidence in social settings. At Prime Path Psychology, we offer online therapy for social anxiety, providing accessible and effective support for clients across Australia.
Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder
Agoraphobia is characterised by anxiety related to situations where escape may be difficult, such as crowded areas, public transport, or shopping centres. Panic disorder involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, trembling, or dizziness. Concern about future attacks can limit independence and daily activities.
Integrated agoraphobia treatment and panic disorder therapy provide structured support to gradually confront feared situations, manage symptoms, and restore confidence. Approaches such as exposure therapy for panic attacks and agoraphobia reduce avoidance, improve coping skills, and support long-term functional recovery.
Specific Phobias
Specific phobias involve intense fears of particular objects, environments, or activities, including flying, driving, animals, or medical procedures. Phobia treatment utilises gradual exposure and evidence-based techniques to reduce fear and restore confidence in daily life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for Anxiety
Prime Path Psychology specialises in evidence-based interventions for anxiety disorders, including:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Considered the gold-standard treatment for anxiety, CBT assists clients in identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts while developing effective coping strategies.
- Exposure Therapy: A structured, stepwise approach that helps clients confront feared situations safely, reduce avoidance behaviours, and strengthen resilience over time.
These therapies are supported by extensive clinical research and are recommended for anxiety disorders, social anxiety, GAD, agoraphobia, panic disorder, and specific phobias.
