Anxiety can feel overwhelming, exhausting and difficult to switch off. If you find yourself constantly worrying, feeling tense, or struggling to relax, you are not alone.
At Mindnest Counselling, we provide supportive, compassionate anxiety counselling for individuals across Illawong and the Sutherland Shire. Our goal is to help you understand your anxiety, reduce its intensity, and rebuild a sense of calm and confidence in your daily life.
How Anxiety Can Show Up
Anxiety looks different for everyone. You may experience:
• Constant overthinking or racing thoughts
• Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
• Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
• Panic attacks or sudden intense fear
• Physical symptoms like headaches, nausea or muscle tension
• Avoiding situations or social interactions
• Feeling on edge or unable to switch off
If anxiety is affecting your work, relationships, or wellbeing, counselling can help you regain control and clarity.
