Anxiety Counselling
Anxiety got a grip on you? Did you know that nearly HALF of Canadians grapple with anxiety?
Anxiety takes many shapes and forms, and it's not always characterized by a definitive diagnosis. We recognize that specific fears, general apprehension, and even the subtle undercurrent of unease around daily stressors can significantly impact one's quality of life. Our support is designed to cater to a broad spectrum of experiences, offering guidance and coping strategies that are tailored to your unique needs.
Our approach to addressing anxiety is diverse, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities that have proven effective, including:
1) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is a well-established, evidence-based technique that assists individuals in recognizing and altering negative thought patterns.
2. Mindfulness, which teaches you how to cultivate present-moment awareness without judgment.
3. Somatic Therapies which recognize the intricate connection between the mind and the body, and focus on practices that promote relaxation and release physical tension, which may help to alleviate and/or more quickly bounce back from emotional distress.
4. Narrative Therapy, an empowering approach, focuses on reshaping personal narratives. Anxiety can often stem from internalized stories of self-doubt and fear. Narrative Therapy can help you to externalize these doubts and fears and reinterpret these narratives, potentially enabling you to embrace a more constructive and optimistic perspective on your experiences, all while helping you live a life that is in close alignment with your values!
5. We also incorporate breathing and nervous system regulation strategies into our work with Anxiety. These techniques empower you to directly influence your body's stress response.
Our online counselling and therapy services are a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with anxiety – whether it's specific fears, general unease, or any point in between.
Remember, you don't have to navigate this journey alone – we're here to provide you with a comprehensive toolkit to manage anxiety's challenges, while offering support and strategies that empower you to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life!
