Anxiety Counselling

We all experience anxiety. For some, anxiety can become a constant and overwhelming part of their everyday life. Whether you experience anxiety as incessant worries or as distressing and uncomfortable physical symptoms, the weight of anxiety can feel consuming and crippling. It can limit your ability to think clearly, feel in control and do things you want to be able to do.

Anxiety therapy offers a compassionate space where you can begin to understand your anxiety and learn strategies that allow you to effectively work with anxious thoughts and the physical symptoms of anxiety. These tools will allow you to gain confidence in your ability to manage anxiety so that you can begin to take back control of your life.

Anxiety is something we all face at some point. For many, it can become a persistent and overwhelming presence in daily life.

Anxiety brings you significant distress.
You struggle to relax.
You face chronic muscle tension or digestive issues due to anxiety.
Your sleep is disrupted by anxiety.
Anxiety impairs your daily functioning (e.g., difficulty focusing, managing work, school assignments, or everyday tasks).

Effective treatment for Anxiety is available, yet many of us delay seeking help, leading to unnecessary suffering. It's important to reach out for support. When selecting a therapist, ensure they are qualified—this means they should hold at least a Master’s degree and be registered in your province. Additionally, it's crucial to feel a personal connection with your therapist. Even if they are highly regarded, if you don't feel comfortable, the counselling process may not be effective.
