Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist

Anxiety is a horrible thing, it makes you doubt yourself and the world around you, it leads you to overestimate how bad things are and underestimate your ability to handle them. There are very easy to learn skills that can help you get anxiety and fear under your control and retake important areas of your life.

Anxiety or Fears
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Sometimes Anxiety suddenly appears, unbidden, in your body, often in the chest or tummy. Find the unnoticed trigger that has caused this anxiety and the anxiety may fade. Sometimes we know what we are anxious about - or afraid of . Again a counsellor can help to process that anxiety and so reduce it. Sometimes we feel anxious or fearful because something else, perhaps pharmaceuticals or a present situation, is the 'real' cause and finding and processing that reason and using the tricks and tools we have may help you control the anxiety. Let's explore what is causing your symptoms?

Anxiety or Fears
Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Anxiety and fear often arise when the nervous system has learned to stay on guard, anticipating threat even when there is no immediate danger. Many people experience anxiety as persistent worry, physical tension, or a constant sense of unease — despite knowing logically that they are safe.
From a mindfulness-based perspective, anxiety is understood as a protective response shaped by past experiences where uncertainty, stress, or emotional overwhelm felt difficult to manage. Over time, the nervous system can remain stuck in fight-or-flight, reacting to present situations as though the past is still happening.
When the body stays in this heightened state, it uses a great deal of energy and has little opportunity to return to balance, rest, and repair. This ongoing strain can create an internal sense of threat, reinforcing the feeling that life is unsafe and causing external situations to be perceived as more dangerous or overwhelming than they actually are.
In our work together, the focus is on helping the nervous system gradually recognize safety in the present moment. Through mindfulness practices, breath awareness, and body-based awareness, clients learn how to become more comfortable with uncomfortable emotions and the physical sensations that arise with them.
As people gain experience staying present with these feelings, confidence grows. Anxiety often softens not because life becomes easier, but because there is a growing trust in the ability to feel, process, and move through whatever emotions life brings. When emotional capacity expands, fears lose their grip, and people experience greater freedom, clarity, and confidence in what they choose to do.
Hypnotherapy can further support this process by helping update subconscious threat responses and creating felt experiences of calm, safety, and steadiness that reinforce this trust.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Anxiety can feel like a constant battle through negative thoughts, feelings or body sensations that crowd out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your anxiety so you can understand and see it and how it impacts your self view as I find the worst part of anxiety is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. My goal is to help you hold all of this and help you find a new path forward.
