Anxiety or Fears
Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Everyone experiences anxiety. It can actually be quite helpful, motivating us to do things that are important to us, or letting us know of potential danger. Anxiety becomes problematic when we're afraid of things that aren't actually dangerous, or when our anxiety stops us from doing things that are important to us. The good news is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety disorders are among the most successful treatments we have in psychology. They work by teaching you how to accurately evaluate your anxiety triggers to tell if your anxiety reaction is justified or not. If your anxiety reaction doesn't match the threat, you learn skills to help you act more effectively, and manage your emotional reaction in the moment.

Feelings of anxiety, worry and fear toward certain situations are normal responses. However, when there is an ongoing preserve threat, the nervous system struggles to regulate, causing neurological and physical symptoms that can interrupt your ability to function well.

Sexuality & ADhD Solutions
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapist/Certified Coach - RSSW, AAC, CEBC, CAE
With ADHD often comes anxiety, fears and overwhelm. Often this is due to constantly questioning ourselves. Are good enough? Can we do this? Are we smart enough? That is often brought on by not being able to organize our thoughts and feelings to express what we really mean.
It can also come from years of being criticized, accused, and being unfairly judged because we are different.
Most people with ADHD have average to above average intelligence. We can accomplish as much or more than others, we just need different methods to accomplish things.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
I grew up experiencing full flight response level anxiety and panic attacks. I get what it feels like to want to, no, have to, run out the door and have no clue why, just overwhelming fear rising. How can we possibly figure out what this is and why it comes? We go through a series of sessions learning to slow it down, find our awareness in a supportive environment that can help us see and hear. Through exploration we find awareness and tools toward managing this terrifying mystery.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I have worked extensively with anxiety and have had my own struggles with it. I have found that it is not about making the anxiety go away, but more in learning how to relate to it differently and be able to tolerate it. Anxieties can also just continue to switch form and we end up playing whack a mole, so it is important to get to what the core fear is that is driving it.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we offer specialized care in managing anxiety and fears through somatic psychotherapy approaches, particularly Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) practiced by Clayre and Somatic Experiencing (SE) employed by Camber. These modalities are especially effective in addressing the physical manifestations and somatic sensations associated with anxiety.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy with Clayre focuses on the integration of somatic and cognitive techniques to address unresolved trauma and anxiety. By bringing awareness to bodily sensations and their associated emotional responses, SP helps individuals unlock new pathways to healing, providing tools to manage anxious feelings and recalibrate nervous system responses. Clayre’s gentle, attuned approach fosters an environment where clients can safely explore and transform their anxiety into a source of strength and self-awareness.
Somatic Experiencing with Camber offers a dynamic process that restores the natural flow of the nervous system. SE helps individuals renegotiate trauma and reduce physiological tension by focusing on body sensations rather than solely on the narrative of fear. Camber’s methodology facilitates the release of energy trapped in the body by past anxiety-provoking events, promoting a state of balance and heightened resilience.
Together, these therapeutic approaches provide a holistic strategy for anxiety management. They not only address the cognitive aspects of fear but also delve into how these fears are held and manifested within the body. This dual focus ensures a comprehensive healing process, enabling clients to experience lasting relief and a profound understanding of their emotional and physiological states. Clients are guided towards a harmonious integration of mind and body, empowering them to navigate life with renewed confidence and calm.

Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP (Qualifying), RCC, CCC
I work with individuals who experience worrying thoughts related to themselves, their relationships or their health. These thoughts create a lot of stress and it feels like you're on edge all the time. It's hard to enjoy downtime and sometimes difficult to socialize with others. You constantly feel like you should be doing something and feel guilty or worried when you aren't. I support clients in reducing their experience of distress and support them in living their day-to-day in a way that works for them. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*
