Molly McBride
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, RCC, RTC
I come from a place of personal understanding about how anxiety and fear can feel like it's running your life. I want to hear about your experience, and how this has impacted your growth and relationships. Together, we will become familiar with the mechanisms within the brain that, when triggered, can lead to an overactivation of the fear and anxiety zones. Then, using techniques like EMDR, hypnotherapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can start to formulate a roadmap back toward the version of you that feels peaceful, confident, and self-assured.

Are you often caught in the relentless grip of anxiety, feeling constantly on edge and overwhelmed by the next wave of panic? Perhaps you're intimately familiar with that churning dread, the racing heart, or the spinning thoughts that threaten to pull you under. You might have felt isolated, struggling to navigate a world that seems to demand constant calm while your inner world is anything but.
Imagine, for a moment, a different kind of space. A truly safe, supportive haven designed just for you, where the incessant rush of fear and the overwhelming tide of anxious thoughts can finally begin to slow. Here, in this professional yet deeply compassionate environment, you're invited to gently peel back the layers of your anxiety, to carefully examine its very roots without any hint of judgment. This isn't about blaming or shaming, but about understanding and healing.
We believe that understanding is the first profound step towards freedom. Together, we can begin to unpack the panic, not as an uncontrollable monster, but as a messenger. We'll learn to truly see and hear the vital signals your body is sending – those subtle cues and sensations that often precede a full-blown panic wave. By acknowledging them early, you gain the opportunity to respond differently, before they escalate. This collaborative exploration will compassionately shine a light on the underlying triggers and intricate patterns that fuel your innate flight response, providing profound clarity where there was once only a confusing fog.
But this journey is about more than just understanding the 'why'; it's about empowering you with powerful, practical tools you can actually use in your daily life. You’ll develop the crucial ability to recognize those early warning signs, not just intellectually, but deep within your being. We'll work on effective mindfulness and calming strategies to interrupt the escalating spiral of fear, helping you to firmly ground yourself in the present moment, even amidst life's most challenging situations. Think of it as building your own internal toolkit for peace.
Through this deeply personal process, you'll cultivate profound self-awareness, learning to trust your own inner compass and respond to your needs with kindness. You'll build remarkable resilience, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. Ultimately, this isn't just about coping; it's about reclaiming your life, your joy, and your peace from the debilitating grip of chronic anxiety. You genuinely deserve to live a life unburdened by the constant apprehension of the next panic attack. You deserve to breathe freely, to engage fully, and to experience the world without that heavy shadow. Let’s work collaboratively, with kindness and expertise, to transform this aspiration into your vibrant, lived reality.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Anxiety can be debilitating and disruptive leaving an individual feeling confused, vulnerable, and frustrated. Although experiencing a certain level anxiety is natural and an adaptive response in our nervous system to keep us safe, it becomes maladaptive when in overdrive. Understanding the neurobiology behind anxiety and the events that trigger it is critical to treatment. Therapy includes a deep exploration of how anxiety developed, how it is keeping you safe, and coping strategies that may be useful to manage high levels of anxiety. Psychoeducation on the neurobiology behind the stress response provides a deep understanding of how stress impacts the nervous system. In our sessions, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions such as fear, sadness, and anger as well as triggers that lead to heightened levels of anxiety. Exploring earlier experiences and trauma that may have led to the development of negative beliefs and may be fueling negative automatic thoughts can help determine the root cause of anxiety to break dysfunctional thinking patterns. When dealing with anxiety, improving one’s self-concept and self efficacy can be an empowering and liberating process.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
The modern world tells us that it is bad to feel fearful or anxious. "Be happy" is the message we have been given from childhood through school, through our family, through TV and social media, as if happiness is the default and all other emotions are dysfunctional. This is not true. Happiness is important, but living life with only happiness is like eating a diet of only sugar, or listening to a song that is only bass. We need the lows to give meaning to the highs.
Through therapy, I will help you better understand your fear and anxiety without shaming or stigmatizing it. Once we understand the role your fear and anxiety plays in your life, we will find ways to make it work for you. And once you are able to accept your emotions without needing to avoid them, your happiness will feel more meaningful.
"Happiness cannot be pursued, it can only ensue. One must have a reason to be happy... Doing so would be the same as urging people posed in front of a camera to say “cheese,” only to find that in the finished photographs their faces are frozen in artificial smiles." Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
