Unfortunately, as with most anxieties, there can be no guarantees of success. However as mentioned above we have extremely high success rates and are very thorough with the treatment program. The course covers everything we feel is important and due to its structure of sessions (subject to availability), we can spend plenty of time focusing on your individual issues.
Close to 100% of clients report managing better than they had in the past and all of our feedback has been extremely positive. The outcomes rely to a large extent on how much people are willing to try out new techniques and challenge themselves. No negative feedback has been received.
We are available ‘on demand’. It’s simply a matter of deciding which is best for you – contact us in arranging your first phone assessment with our valued partner, Bulimba Psychology for more information.
The course sessions are detailed on the Course Structure tab above. We recommend approximately four (4) weeks to complete the course, based on one session a week, but this can be shortened our extended based on yours and the Psychologists availability or the need to complete earlier due to an upcoming flying trip.
