Supporting Anxiety and Depression Across Brisbane Northside
Anxiety and depression are among the most common reasons people seek psychological support — and they are also among the most treatable. Our psychology team has extensive experience supporting people experiencing generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, low mood, and depression, using evidence-based approaches that are proven to make a meaningful difference.
Learn more about our anxiety and depression support on our psychology page.
Our Approach to Care
We don’t separate your mind from your body, your history from your present, or your nervous system from your symptoms. At The Wellness Emporium, holistic psychology means treating the whole person — not just the diagnosis.
Our psychologists integrate evidence-based modalities with an understanding of how lifestyle, relationships, hormones, and lived experience all shape your mental health. Because lasting change rarely comes from one angle alone.
Therapy Approaches
Our psychologists draw from a wide range of evidence-based approaches (depending on their training and your individual needs), including:
- Trauma-Informed Interventions (working with the body, inner child work)
- Attachment Work
- Mindfulness, Meditation & Body Work
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
- Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Schema Therapy
- Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Solution Focused Therapy
- Positive Psychology and Psychoeducation
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice
- Trauma-Informed Practice
Evidence-Based Therapy Available via Telehealth
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most well-researched therapies available, with strong evidence for anxiety, depression, stress, and a wide range of other presentations. It is practical, structured, and highly effective via telehealth.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps people build psychological flexibility — learning to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings in ways that align with their values, rather than being controlled by them. It is particularly well-suited to people experiencing anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.

What to Expect at Your First Psychology Appointment
During your initial appointment, your psychologist will take time to get to know you, your goals, and your concerns. Together, you’ll develop a plan to work towards.
Many people feel some anxiety before seeing a psychologist for the first time — that’s completely normal. Our team is here to make you feel comfortable and supported from the moment you arrive. Some people find it helpful to jot down a few notes beforehand — goals, concerns, or things you’ve been struggling with. Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.

Finding the Right Psychologist for You
Choosing a psychologist is a personal decision — and the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy. It can help to consider:
- Therapeutic approach — does it align with what you’re looking for?
- Areas of experience — does the psychologist have experience with your concerns?
- Communication style — do you feel comfortable and heard?
- Accessibility — are telehealth options available if you need them?
