Counselling for Anxiety

Engaging in therapy can provide numerous benefits, especially when it is done with a skilled therapist in a safe, non-judgemental environment. Our approach is holistic to include the whole person, their environment and their relationships to explore the roots of anxiety.

Counselling for Anxiety often includes:

  • Understanding Triggers ~ exploring specific triggers liked to anxiety that are often rooted in past experiences and relationships
  • Processing Trauma ~ learning to understand how past traumas may contribute to present day anxiety can lead to significant healing and emotional regulation
  • Coping Strategies ~ learning tools and techniques to manage anxiety symptoms, such as mindfulness practices, cognitive restructuring and relaxation exercises
  • Building Healthy Attachments ~ learning how to form secure attachments with oneself and others may help to foster a greater sense of safety and connection

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. 

That’s because anxiety therapy - as opposed to only anxiety medication - treats more than just symptoms of the problem.

Common symptoms of anxiety:

  • Excessive Worrying: Constantly worrying about daily activities and potential outcomes
  • Restlessness: Feeling on edge or unable to relax
  • Difficult Concentrating: Often experiencing a blank mind or trouble focusing
  • Irritability: Becoming easily frustrated or agitated
  • Muscle Tension: Persistent tension in muscles leading to discomfort
  • Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling fatigued despite adequate rest
  • Physical Symptoms: Increased heart rate, sweating, or gastrointestinal issues
