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.
