Explore the Conditions We Commonly Help With
Below are some of the challenges we frequently support. Each link leads to a dedicated page explaining what that issue can feel like and how therapy can help. We encourage you to explore the areas that sound most relevant to you.
Mental Health Conditions
Addictions :
When habits or substances start taking control of your life, therapy can help you understand what’s driving them and create change. Learn about how we support recovery from alcohol and drug misuse, gambling, porn addiction or other addictive behaviours.
Eating Problems :
Emotional eating, bingeing, and body image distress can take a heavy toll on your wellbeing. Discover how compassionate therapy can support a healthier relationship with food and yourself.
Anxieties :
Anxiety can appear as constant worry, panic attacks, sleeplessness, or physical tension. Our therapists work with generalised anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, and health-related fears using gentle, practical techniques to reduce distress and restore calm.
Physical Problems :
Stress and emotions often show up in the body. Explore how therapy can help with issues like teeth grinding, IBS, or shy bladder by addressing their psychological causes.
Phobias :
Phobias can make everyday life difficult, from fear of flying to public speaking or confined spaces. Learn how therapy, relaxation training, and hypnotherapy can reduce fear and rebuild confidence. Bayside Psychotherapy was featured on House of Wellness for Phobias.
Sexual Problems :
problems involving desire, arousal, or sexual confidence can affect intimacy and self esteem. We offer confidential, respectful therapy for challenges such as sexual anxiety, compulsive sexual behaviour, and relationship intimacy concerns.
Compulsions :
If you feel compelled to repeat certain behaviours even when you want to stop, it might be a sign of a deeper struggle. Learn more about obsessive-compulsive tendencies, body-focused behaviours like skin picking or hair pulling, compulsive lying and how therapy can help you find freedom from these patterns.
Mood Disorders :
Persistent sadness, loss of motivation, or mood swings may indicate a mood disorder such as depression. Our therapists provide understanding and evidence based support to help you feel more stable and hopeful.
Other Problems :
Not every struggle fits neatly into a single category. Whether you’re coping with grief, low self-worth, anger, or trust issues, therapy can help you understand yourself better and find healthier ways forward.
