Anxiety is an automatic and very natural response to stressful situations. Anxiety results in a number of cognitive (thought), physical and behavioural changes. They are in a sense 'instinctive' in nature - so that an individual can then perform at their peak.
Feelings of Anxiety may come on very quickly (as in the case of Panic Attacks), or might build up slowly (as when we anticipate an important event) but, given time, these uncomfortable feelings normally pass.Anxiety is an extremely common condition.

Living with Chronic Pain can be a life-altering experience. It is now well understood that the experience of Chronic Pain has an underlying psychological element, and that secondary issues such as Depression and Anxiety can serve to complicate this health picture. At Gates Psychology Cairns, we will help you to better manage your Chronic Pain through a Cognitive-Behavioural approach to pain management.
Gates Psychology Cairns offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as the treatment of choice for clients with Depression. Psychological treatment methods offer a high chance of long-term success. Depression is a very common illness that affects at least one in four Australians within their lifetime.
Employers also recognise that the health of their staff is paramount and will often offer their workers the opportunity to seek psychological support in the form of counselling. These mental health initiatives are known as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). This employer-funded support is offered for both personal and work-related issues.

Karen was very welcoming as long as she was taking my money however after a missed appointment due to health complications (the reason I was seeing her in the first place) she dropped me.
I came to pay her in person and was told to wait in the lobby. She didn't even have the courtesy to see me but phoned me and dismissed me in in a very abrupt and rude manner.
Those who are really seeking support from a mental health professional look elsewhere.
