Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges people experience. While some level of anxiety is a natural part of life, ongoing or intense worry can begin to affect how you think, feel, and function in everyday situations. At Lumaura Psychology, registered psychologist Mike Spiller provides thoughtful and evidence-based support for people experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress.
Anxiety can show up in many ways — persistent worry, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge. Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand what may be driving these experiences and develop practical strategies to help you regain a greater sense of balance, clarity, and control.
Sessions are available in person in Toowong, Brisbane, or via secure Telehealth for clients throughout Australia.

Understanding Your Experience of Anxiety
Anxiety can take many forms, and people often experience it in different ways. In therapy we commonly work with individuals experiencing:
- Persistent worry or generalised anxiety
- Social anxiety or fear of judgment
- Panic attacks or intense waves of fear
- Health anxiety or ongoing concern about physical symptoms
- Stress and burnout related to work demands
- Overthinking or difficulty quieting the mind
- Trouble relaxing or feeling constantly "on edge"
- Sleep difficulties linked to stress and worry
- Anxiety during periods of uncertainty or life change
Therapy takes a personalised approach, recognising that anxiety often develops for understandable reasons. Together we work toward building insight, resilience, and practical strategies that support long-term wellbeing.

Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human experience that can help us prepare for challenge, uncertainty, or perceived danger. When anxiety becomes persistent, intense, or difficult to manage, however, it can begin to affect how we think, feel, relate to others, and move through everyday life.
Many people experiencing anxiety describe constant worry, racing thoughts, difficulty switching off, or physical symptoms such as tension, restlessness, fatigue, or disrupted sleep. Over time, these patterns can leave people feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from a sense of calm and confidence.
Working with a psychologist can help you better understand the underlying patterns contributing to anxiety while developing practical strategies to feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally balanced.

How Therapy Can Help
Many people find that anxiety becomes easier to manage when they gain a clearer understanding of the patterns behind it. Therapy focuses on building this understanding while developing practical tools to help you respond to stress, worry, and uncertainty in healthier ways.
Mike offers an integrative and evidence-based approach, drawing on therapeutic models such as ACT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Motivational Interviewing where appropriate. Sessions are collaborative and paced to support steady, sustainable progress toward greater calm, confidence, and wellbeing.
