The Sydney Anxiety Disorders Practice is committed to providing individual treatments that are short-term, cost effective and scientifically validated. The major treatment approach used is ‘Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ (CBT), which has consistently been shown to have the most robust evidence supporting its efficacy for the psychological treatment of anxiety disorders. CBT is a skills-based approach which concentrates on three essential components:

• Symptom management to decrease anxiety and increase effective coping.
• Challenging unhelpful thought patterns that cause and maintain anxiety problems.
• Changing behaviour to reduce avoidance and ensure that a person is able to function socially, occupationally and in all other areas of their life.

We are a group of highly-effective Clinical Psychologists with post-graduate clinical training, and many years of experience in treating anxiety disorders. We are empathic clinicians, committed to improving people’s mental health. We have up-to-date knowledge regarding research into anxiety treatment and only use evidence-based psychological intervention.
