Anxiety House Sunshine Coast

20/10/2025

About a quarter of our Anxiety House Sunshine Coast team took part in a team-building afternoon at Frida’s Sip n’ Paint, Mooloolaba on Sunday.

Connection is something we really value at Anxiety House as well as competition 😜 It also turned out to be a surprisingly effective Rorschach test… though interpretations are best left off the record.

Emily O’Leary was there too, though she had to duck out early which she thought may have saved her from artistic embarrassment. However, Amber Rattray made sure her masterpiece was in the shot.

We’re currently looking for a new team member to join our Sunshine Coast team. Join if you enjoy community and good clinucal work get in touch at info@anxietyhouse.com.au.

A major international study has identified 25 genes believed to play a causal role in obsessive-compulsive disorder — a significant leap forward in OCD research.

Dr Emily O’Leary, Managing Director of Anxiety House Sunshine Coast, contributed to this ABC News article unpacking the findings. The research reinforces what many in the field already know: OCD has a strong biological basis.

This kind of science matters. It deepens understanding, helps guide more precise treatment, and challenges outdated stigma.

Thanks Suzy Matthijssen for an informative and insprirational training. As Clinical Director I’ve spent the last two days in Melbourne learning all about planning intensive treatment programs for PTSD and C-PTSD using EMDR 2.0 and Prolonged Exposure to bring back to the clinic.

Thanks Melbourne it’s been fun…but cold…so now it’s time to get back to the normality of Sunshine ☀️ school runs and clinical work ✅
