Anxiety, panic, fear and traumatic stress affect a significant percentage of the population.

Often times your presenting problem can be a result of underlying, unresolved life experiences.

Has there been any significant loss in your life? Any significant trauma? Any significant disruption? Is there anything else you think I should know?

I'll ask you these questions in our first consultation.

I'll give you some very effective strategies to deal with your presenting problem and together we'll work out the cause with the view to resolving your emotional distress as quickly and painlessly as possible.

You will learn what anxiety is and begin to understand that the bodily symptoms that affect you are not life threatening and can be resolved.

I operate a private practice called the Anxiety and Panic Centre. We are based in Perth Western Australia with an office in West Perth and another in Fremantle, but given today's modern technology, with access to a computer and the telephone, we are able to assist you wherever you are.

Through this site you can access information on private consultations, skype or telephone consultations, training courses, home study programmes and mail order products that will help you to achieve a happier, more fulfilled life.

... more about Christopher Semmens.

I have thorough and comprehensive training in many clinical psychology modalities including rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT); cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT); hypnotherapy and mindfulness meditation techniques. Since 1997 I have most often used Thought Field Therapy (TFT) as a first-line or mainstay approach to my work because of the efficiency in achieving outcomes.

I continue to utilise effective strategies from these conventional clinical psychology modalities - particularly the philosophical orientation of Albert Ellis' REBT.
