Anxiety or Fears
Emma Hutchinson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, RSW, MSW
Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience but often it can eclipse our sense of well-being and ease of moving through the world. It can manifest in different areas of life for different people, for example in social situations or around work or school performance. Counselling can be very effective for people wanting to reduce the impact of anxiety on their lives. Counselling can include:
-education to understand the purpose of anxiety and why it can become problematic
-learning and practising evidence-based tools (for example, mindfulness skills) that loosen the grip anxiety may have on us
-a deeper dive into what is at the roots of our worries, fears, and stressors
-addressing the roots of the anxiety. These could relate to boundary-setting, self-esteem, the need for trauma processing, and self-care.
I work collaboratively with clients and draw from a variety of models when working with anxiety-related issues including mindfulness-based knowledge and practices, deeper processing through Internal Family Systems and EMDR, and talk therapy approaches.
Please feel free to reach out for a free consult if you'd like to connect, see the space, ask any questions you may have and see if working with me would feel like a good fit for you!

Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
We are all burdened by anxieties and fears at some point in our lives, but when these get entrenched and we feel 'stuck' in these, it is helpful to consider gentle online therapy.

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.

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.
