Anxiety Counselling for Lasting Change

Anxiety can be like an exhausting, never-ending loop that makes your heart race, prevents you from sleeping well, and eats away at your general sense of wellbeing in the world. It may be preventing you from speaking up, trying new things, or finding joy on your journey. At times, it can take the form of a constant, low-level worry, while at other times it may hit like a tidal wave. Many people struggle with anxiety, and you are not alone if you do. I am here to help you untangle the fears, process the pain, and take back control no matter where you are on your path.


Understanding Anxiety and Its Impact
If you have ever been told to “just relax” or “stop overthinking,” you might know just how frustrating that can be. While many people do not realize it, anxiety is not just a mindset—it is a physical, emotional, and mental response that can easily take over before you even realize it’s happening. It can look like:

  • A racing heart, shaky hands, or feeling short of breath.
  • Avoiding social situations or decisions out of fear.
  • Feeling agitated, restless, and tense.
  • Trouble sleeping because your mind won’t shut off.

How I Help You Heal?
I use a blend of proven, compassionate therapy methods to acknowledge the person that you are on every level – body, mind, and spirit – and help you break free from anxiety.

  • Person-Centered Therapy – Together, we’ll uncover your emotions and thoughts, focusing on your strengths and unique path forward.
  • Somatic Experiencing (SE) – Somatic therapy helps with anxiety by focusing on the mind-body connection, allowing individuals to become more aware of physical sensations in their body that show up as anxiety. It helps clients identify and release pent-up emotions stored within the body, ultimately leading to better emotional regulation and reduced anxiety symptoms.
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – CBT helps you recognize and shift negative thought patterns. Instead of spiraling into worst-case scenarios, you’ll learn how to challenge those thoughts and replace them with something healthier.
  • A Mix of other Therapies (Inner Child Work, Parts, Reparenting & Grounding) – Depending on the client and their circumstances, I sometimes draw from an eclectic mix of other modalities in a trauma-informed way. These may include inner child work and reparenting, parts therapy, and grounding visualizations. Healing your past emotional wounds helps you make choices that align with the future you want.

What Anxiety Therapy Can Help You With?
Rather than providing advice, I guide you to find your own answers by helping you:

  • Understand where your anxiety comes from.
  • Learn how you can process past experiences that fuel your fears.
  • Develop healthy coping strategies for dealing with ongoing stressors.
  • Feel safe, seen, and supported as you heal.

FAQs


How do I know if my anxiety is linked to past trauma?
Another terminology for “trauma” is “the undigested past”. Trauma comes in many shapes and sizes, and in some situations intense fears or even nightmares may be triggered by it. Therapy can help uncover and heal deeper fears that manifest as anxiety.


How long does anxiety therapy take?
There is no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some people notice changes within a few months, while others need longer support. The important thing is finding an approach that works for you.


Can counselling help if I’ve had anxiety for years?
Even long-term anxiety can improve with the right support. Counselling helps you break unhelpful patterns, develop coping tools, and move forward with more confidence.


Do I need a diagnosis to seek therapy?
You are not a diagnosis, you are a person, plain and simple. My goal is to help you live your best life.


Is everything I say in counselling kept private?
Confidentiality is my number one priority. Everything shared in session stays between us, creating a space where you can be open and 100% yourself.
