Robina, Gold Coast — In-Person & Telehealth

If your daughter has been more withdrawn, more tearful, or more overwhelmed than usual — struggling with school mornings, social pressure, or a constant sense of not being enough — you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. Anxiety in teen girls is common, and it's treatable.

At Salt Psychology, Kylie Donnolley works specifically with pre-teen and adolescent girls navigating anxiety, using an approach shaped by 27 years across both school and clinical settings.

​​What Anxiety Can Look Like in Teen Girls

Anxiety doesn't always look like worry. In adolescent girls, it often shows up as:

• School refusal or reluctance to attend

• Perfectionism and fear of failure

• Trouble sleeping or constant fatigue

• Irritability, meltdowns, or shutting down

• Avoiding friends, activities, or social situations

• Physical symptoms — stomach aches, headaches — with no clear medical cause

These patterns are common during adolescence, and they respond well to the right support.
