Anxiety & Stress Counselling (Online Across Australia)

A gentle, supportive space to help you manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelm — in English or Italian.

Anxiety and stress can affect your thoughts, body, relationships, and daily life. You may notice racing thoughts, a sense of dread, physical tension, difficulty sleeping, or a constant feeling of being “on alert.” Stress and anxiety often overlap, and many people describe feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off.

Whether you are seeking anxiety counselling, anxiety therapy, stress counselling, or stress therapy, I offer a calm and grounded space to explore what’s happening and develop strategies that genuinely help.

As a bilingual counsellor (English–Italian), I provide culturally attuned online support for adults across Australia who want to feel more relaxed, confident, and in control of their emotional world..

Understanding Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are normal human responses — but when they become persistent or overwhelming, they can interfere with your wellbeing. They may show up as:

  • constant worrying or overthinking

  • tightness in the chest, racing heartbeat, restlessness

  • difficulty sleeping or feeling constantly “wired”

  • fear of judgment, criticism, or making mistakes

  • difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • overwhelm from work, relationships, or life transitions

  • avoidance of certain situations

  • emotional or physical exhaustion

You don’t need to have a label or diagnosis to seek support. Whether you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, or both, counselling provides a compassionate space to understand your experience and regain a sense of balance.

How Anxiety & Stress Counselling Can Help

Counselling and therapy for anxiety and stress can help you:

  • understand what triggers your stress or anxiety

  • explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact

  • develop calming techniques and grounding strategies

  • reduce overwhelm and learn practical coping tools

  • challenge unhelpful thinking patterns

  • improve emotional regulation

  • strengthen confidence, clarity, and resilience

  • break cycles of fear, avoidance, or burnout

Clients often notice improvements such as feeling calmer, more in control, and more able to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.

My Approach to Anxiety & Stress Therapy

My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Whether you're seeking anxiety therapy, stress therapy, or a combination of both, your sessions are tailored to your needs, pace, and goals.

I draw from evidence-informed approaches, including:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) strategies

Exploring how thoughts and behaviours contribute to anxiety and stress.

Emotion-focused techniques

Understanding emotional triggers and responding with compassion.

Attachment-informed perspectives

Exploring how early experiences shape coping patterns and emotional responses.

Trauma-informed principles

Prioritising safety, empowerment, and regulation.

These approaches help you build tools that support long-term emotional wellbeing.

Culturally Sensitive Support — in English or Italian

Stress and anxiety can be shaped by cultural transitions, migration, family roles, identity, and expectations. As a bilingual counsellor familiar with both Italian and Australian culture, I offer a space where your full story is understood.

You are welcome to speak:

  • fully in Italian

  • fully in English

  • or switch naturally between both

Many clients find this flexibility helps them express emotions more authentically.

Online Anxiety & Stress Counselling That Fits Your Life

All sessions are delivered online via secure telehealth, offering:

  • convenience and privacy

  • flexibility around work, parenting, and life

  • a familiar, comfortable environment

  • no travel time or added stress

  • effective outcomes equal to in-person therapy

Many clients find they open up more easily online and appreciate the consistency it offers.
