Anxiety Treatment Sunshine Coast
At Bear in Mind Psychology, we provide evidence-based anxiety treatment for children, teenagers and adults on the Sunshine Coast. Anxiety can affect school, work, relationships, sleep and everyday functioning. Our role is to understand how anxiety is showing up for you or your child, and to provide practical support tailored to your needs.
Our work may draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), depending on your needs and goals.

Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment
Our approach is tailored to the person, their age, and the situations that trigger or maintain their anxiety. We draw on evidence-based therapies to help children, teenagers and adults build confidence, reduce avoidance, and develop practical coping strategies.
Signs of Anxiety Disorder
Anxiety can manifest differently at various life stages. Common signs include:
- Excessive worry or fear about everyday situations
- Physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, or trembling
- Avoidance of social situations or specific triggers
- Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
- Sleep disturbances or changes in appetite
- Irritability or restlessness
- Perfectionism or constant need for reassurance
- Panic attacks or intense periods of fear
- Physical complaints without medical cause (e.g., stomachaches, headaches)
If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms persistently, it may be time to seek professional help.
