Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
Like anxiety, stress is a natural and appropriate physical and psychological response to a perceived threat or demand. Stress can help individuals stay focused and motivated when experienced in small, finite amounts. Stress is that feeling of pressure, tension, or discomfort that arises when the demands placed on us exceed our perceived ability to cope. When we experience stress, our bodies automatically respond by releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol and a fight or flight response can occur, preparing us to either flee the perceived threat or confront it. When left unchecked over time, chronic stress can lead to a range of physical, emotional and cognitive challenges, including anxiety, depression, digestive problems and decreased immune function, not to mention high blood pressure. Work-related issues, relationship challenges, parenting, financial stressors, and health concerns are all common sources of high stress. Michelle believes that people are often very good at minimizing high levels of chronic, toxic stress, which is why addressing one’s experience of stress by engaging in therapy is so important.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Stress is a sign your system is working overtime—and it’s asking for support, not more pressure.
When life feels like too much and you’re constantly on edge, it’s often because parts of you are stuck in survival mode. Chronic stress can disconnect you from your body, drain your energy, and leave you feeling like you're just getting through the day. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic tools like TRE to help you understand the deeper layers beneath your stress and bring your nervous system back into balance. Together, we’ll create space for calm, clarity, and resilience—so you can move through life with more ease and intention.

Stress
Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
Your mind runs at high speed—analyzing, planning, preparing for every possible scenario. Sometimes that mental energy serves you well, but when chronic stress takes over, it can leave you feeling wired and tired at the same time.
In today’s world, stress is unavoidable. While stress itself is not inherently negative, it can become a problem when it gets out of control and even contribute to an overwhelming feeling of anxiety.
Whether you're dealing with ongoing burnout, sudden panic attacks, or that constant background hum of anxiety, we work with both your thinking brain and your nervous system to create real relief. This isn't about managing symptoms—it's about understanding why your system gets activated and developing tools that work with your body's natural responses.
You'll learn to recognize the early signals before stress overwhelms you and develop practical strategies that integrate both cognitive and somatic approaches to help you feel genuinely calm, not just temporarily distracted.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Stress, in and of itself, is not inherently harmful—in fact, it can serve as a natural motivator and alert system. However, when stress becomes chronic and its underlying causes go unaddressed, it often evolves into anxiety. This persistent anxiety can take root not only in the mind and emotions but also in the body, leading to a wide range of debilitating symptoms and, in many cases, contributing to physical illness.
Daniel’s work centers on identifying and managing stress before it becomes damaging, while also helping clients release anxiety that has become embedded in their thoughts, emotions, and physical systems. His approach is both preventative and restorative, addressing anxiety holistically to support long-term healing and resilience.
As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), Daniel brings both expertise and compassion to his work, guiding clients through strategies that calm the nervous system, restore balance, and foster emotional well-being.

Stress
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Sometimes clients may feel hopeless in managing their stress levels. They may have longer than desired work hours, too many chores to complete, and not enough leisure time. In therapy, I help clients manage stress by first gaining insight into the cause of stress. Understanding where the stress comes from assists with acknowledging the factors that maintain stress.
I also help clients acknowledge their role in the maintenance of stress in order to gain control over their lives and prevent further feelings of burnout and exhaustion. Although some stressors in life are inevitable, such as deadlines and bills, therapy involves focusing on some of the thoughts and emotions that exacerbate feelings of stress in response to life demands. We also engage in problem solving strategies largely through solution focused and cognitive behavioural approaches to determine stressors that are controllable, even though clients may initially anticipate no factors to be within their control.
After working through a range of possibilities to improve wellbeing clients often gain awareness of the resources that they have in order to cope with life demands.

Stress
Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Stress is a major part of grief because death changes daily life in a way the mind and body cannot easily absorb. A person who was part of your everyday world is suddenly no longer there, and that absence can feel shocking, unnatural, and impossible to make sense of. The permanence of death, the disruption of routines, the empty bedroom, the quiet house, the missed future, and the reality of never seeing that person again can create intense emotional and physical stress.
Grief-related stress can also come from triggers, looping thoughts, forgetfulness, irritability, exhaustion, loss of interest in people or hobbies, and the feeling that your thoughts are no longer fully in your control. A song, a coffee shop, a date, a smell, or an ordinary place can suddenly bring the loss back with force. These reactions can feel frightening because they are different from who you were before the loss.
As a certified grief coach, I support adults by acknowledging that these reactions make sense. I explain where grief-related stress comes from in plain, human language, without psychobabble, and help clients understand why their mind and body may be responding this way. I also offer practical tools to cope with triggers, manage overwhelming thoughts, soften the stress response, and move through daily life with more steadiness and support.

Inspiring Change Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
Chronic stress has a way of creeping into everything — your sleep, your patience, your relationships, your sense of self. When you're constantly running on empty, it becomes harder to think clearly, respond thoughtfully, or feel like yourself. Therapy can help you identify where your stress is coming from, how it's showing up in your body and behavior, and what changes — internal and external — can help you feel more resourced and resilient in your daily life.

Stress can build when life feels overwhelming, leaving the body and mind in a constant state of tension. Many people push through their limits without noticing the emotional toll—irritability, worry, exhaustion, or a sense of being “on edge.” I offer a space to slow down, understand your stress responses, and develop healthier ways to cope through mindfulness techniques, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and somatic awareness exercises.
