Book appointmentFind out how we can help

At The Avenue Place, we support adults in Berwick and surrounding suburbs who are managing work, family, and responsibility — yet internally feel anxious, unsettled, or stretched beyond capacity.

Anxiety can look different in adulthood. It is often high-functioning. Many people appear capable on the outside while feeling constantly “on edge” inside.

What anxiety and stress may look like

Anxiety does not always present as panic attacks. It may show up as:

  • Ongoing worry that is difficult to switch off
  • Irritability or feeling emotionally reactive
  • Trouble sleeping due to racing thoughts
  • Physical tension, headaches, or fatigue
  • Avoiding certain situations
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • A sense of always being “on alert”
  • Feeling overwhelmed by daily demands

 

For many professional women and parents, anxiety can feel intertwined with responsibility. You may be meeting expectations at work and home, yet feeling internally depleted. Stress, when prolonged, can compound anxiety. Over time this may impact mood, energy, and relationships.

When support may be helpful

It may be helpful to consider professional support if:

Worry feels constant rather than occasional

You feel more reactive than you would like to be

Anxiety is affecting sleep, work, or relationships

You find yourself avoiding situations due to fear or doubt

You feel unable to “switch off” even during downtime

Our Assessment Process

How assessment may help

Understanding how anxiety operates in the body and brain

As a deliberately small psychology clinic in Berwick, we prioritise continuity of care. Adults attending for anxiety support can expect:

An initial assessment to clarify concerns and goals

A collaborative treatment plan

Regular review of progress

Consistent sessions with the same psychologist wherever possible

Where appropriate, we may liaise with your GP under a Mental Health Care Plan. Our environment is calm and private. Therapy is structured, but paced according to individual needs.
