Free Mind Health Check
The anxiety toolkit
Read with intentionQuieten the constant worry.
When worry runs on a loop — the what-ifs, the overthinking, the mind that will not switch off — it is exhausting. Therapy helps you step out of the loop and worry a lot less about worrying. In Parramatta or online, usually within one business day.
A mind that won't switch off.
Some worry is useful — it helps us plan. But when it becomes constant and hard to control, it stops solving problems and starts creating them. You do not have to wait until it is unbearable to get help.
- Your mind races with "what if", especially at night.
- You cannot switch off, even when nothing is actually wrong.
- You overthink decisions and seek reassurance to be sure.
- Your mind jumps to the worst-case, then rehearses it.
- You feel it in your body — tight jaw, churning stomach, broken sleep.
- You have started to worry about how much you worry.
- Concentration slips, and you feel wired and tired at once.
- You feel a vague sense of dread you cannot quite pin down.
Worry is the mind trying to solve problems it cannot think its way out of — and it is very treatable. Persistent, uncontrollable worry is the core of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD); our free two-minute GAD-7 anxiety self-check is a good place to start, and gives you a confidential result on the spot. It is information, not a diagnosis. If things ever feel like too much, our urgent help page lists people you can talk to right now.
Out of the loop, and back to your life.
Your psychologist draws on the approaches with the strongest evidence for worry and generalised anxiety, and explains the reasoning as you go.
CBT
Cognitive behaviour therapy — reality-testing anxious predictions and learning to postpone and contain worry, so it stops running the day.
ACT
Acceptance and commitment therapy — unhooking from worried thoughts and letting them come and go, without getting swept along.
Structured problem-solving
Turning the worries you can act on into a plan — and practising letting go of the ones you cannot.
Relaxation & mindfulness
Calming the body's alarm — breathing, grounding and attention skills that quiet a busy mind.
Most people notice progress within the first few sessions. We review your goals together, and you can pause or stop at any time. If worry is part of broader anxiety, our anxiety treatment page covers the wider picture.
