Anxiety Counselling That Helps You Feel Like Yourself Again

When your mind will not slow down, even ordinary days can feel exhausting.

You may look calm to everyone else while your thoughts race, your body stays tense and every decision becomes something to second-guess. Anxiety counselling gives you somewhere to put all of that down and work out what is actually going on.

Josh Feeney is a PACFA-registered counsellor and psychotherapist who offers online anxiety counselling across Australia, with in-person sessions available in Surry Hills, Sydney.

What sessions with Josh are like

What can anxiety counselling help with?

Anxiety does not always look like a panic attack. Sometimes it looks like being capable, busy and completely worn out from holding everything together.

  • You replay conversations long after they finish

  • You expect something to go wrong, even when things are going well

  • Small decisions take far more energy than they should

  • Your chest feels tight, your stomach drops or your body rarely relaxes

  • You avoid people, places or situations because the worry feels too strong

  • You are tired of being told to stop overthinking

  • You do not need to wait until anxiety takes over your life.

If it is taking up too much space in your head, that is enough reason to talk with someone.

Josh offers evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and stress management. Tribe is a safe space for you to explore and address anxiety issues, providing support to develop coping strategies tailored to your unique needs.

There is no checklist you need to complete and no perfect way to explain how you feel. Josh will meet you where you are and help you make sense of what is happening at a pace you can manage.

Sessions may include noticing patterns, challenging thoughts that keep you stuck, learning ways to settle your nervous system and exploring experiences that continue to affect how safe or in control you feel.

The aim is bigger than helping you get through the next anxious moment. It is helping you trust yourself more, feel steadier in your body and stop organising your life around fear.

  • Constant worry and overthinking

  • Panic attacks or sudden waves of fear

  • Social anxiety and fear of judgement

  • Work stress, perfectionism and burnout

  • Relationship anxiety and difficulty trusting yourself

  • Physical tension, poor sleep and feeling permanently on edge

  • Anxiety linked with identity, family rejection or minority stress

Start with a free, relaxed conversation

Online counselling can make starting feel easier. There is no travel, no waiting room and no need to explain the appointment to anyone else.

Choosing a therapist can feel like another decision to overthink. The free 15-minute intro call is a simple way to meet Josh, ask questions and see whether talking with him feels comfortable.

There is no pressure to continue. If it feels right, you can book a full 50-minute session. If it does not, Josh can help point you towards another option where possible.
