Anthony Aris is a psychologist based in Fitzroy, VIC, at Talking Emotions, Level 1, 411 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065. He helps people work through day to day stress and the kinds of feelings that can get stuck in the background for too long.
Most visits are about counselling and practical support. Anthony often uses cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and behavioural strategies, especially when anxiety or worry is taking over. In many cases, people come in feeling overwhelmed, tired, or like their mind won’t switch off. The goal is to make things feel more manageable, one step at a time.
He also supports people who want tools for stress management. That might look like learning to spot early signs of stress, working out what triggers the problem, and building routines that actually fit into real life. At times, it’s not just about calming down in the moment. It’s about understanding patterns, then changing them so life feels easier overall.
Anthony’s work includes anxiety management strategies and CBT based counselling. This can be useful for people dealing with persistent worry, nervous thoughts, or avoidance behaviours that slowly shrink what they feel able to do. Therapy can help you break the cycle, whether it’s fear driving decisions, or stress turning into habits you don’t really want.
Sessions are usually structured enough to feel clear, but they’re also flexible. People don’t all need the same approach, and the best plan is the one that works for your situation. Over time, Anthony focuses on helping you practise new ways of thinking and behaving, so the improvements are more likely to stick.
Because psychology is about people and their lives, he pays attention to how things show up in everyday routines—work, relationships, sleep, and the little things that add up. If you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s okay. Many people start out feeling unsure, and slowly work out what’s behind the problem.
There aren’t published details listed here about clinical trials, research projects, or hospital affiliations. The work is best described as counselling support with an evidence informed approach, using CBT and behavioural therapy skills to help with stress and anxiety.
If you’re looking for a calm, practical space to talk things through and build clearer coping strategies, Anthony Aris at Talking Emotions is there to help.
