Stress
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Stress can build slowly or arrive all at once, leaving you feeling tense, irritable, mentally overloaded, or like you’re constantly trying to keep up. You may find it difficult to switch off, rest without guilt, or stay connected to yourself when responsibilities pile up. I help clients understand how stress is showing up in their thoughts, body, relationships, and daily habits, while exploring the patterns that may keep them in a cycle of over-functioning or overwhelm. Through mindfulness, somatic awareness, and compassionate reflection, we can work toward greater steadiness, clearer boundaries, and more sustainable ways of responding to pressure.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Stress isn't only something happening in your calendar—it can become something your whole system begins carrying. Over time, you may notice tension, exhaustion, irritability, difficulty settling, disrupted sleep, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Together, we'll slow things down yourself. Together, we'll slow things down enough to understand what your system needs. Using somatic awareness, mindfulness, counselling, and holistic practices, I support clients in developing greater capacity to regulate stress, reconnect with themselves, and move through life with more ease, presence, and choice.

There is a lot going on in life some of it - if not all of it - is demanding. The burden of it all feels entirely on you and if you don't manage it then who will?

The load can feel lighter and you can still move towards your needs. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

Stress
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
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Chronic stress is often a sign that your internal system has been locked in a state of 'high alert' for too long. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and addiction, I help you move beyond surface-level relaxation techniques to address the root of your overwhelm.
Using a Parts Work lens, we identify the 'manager' parts of your system that feel responsible for holding everything together and prevent you from truly resting. We work together to create the internal safety needed for your nervous system to downregulate and stabilize. My goal is to help you shift from a life of constant 'doing' to a state of grounded presence, where you can navigate life’s demands without losing your sense of self.

Stress
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Stress can show up as feeling constantly overwhelmed, mentally overloaded, feeling shutdown, emotionally drained, burnt out, or caught in a state of “always needing to do more.” You may notice tension in your body, racing thoughts, difficulty resting or sleeping, or carrying pressure to keep everything under control. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help release the deeper roots of chronic stress patterns. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports your body and mind in finding greater regulation, balance, and inner ease as you move through life.

Stress
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Some stress is situational and passes. But chronic stress, the kind that lives in your body and follows you home, is usually a signal that something deeper needs attention. I work with people to understand what's driving it and build something more sustainable than just coping harder, because pushing through has a limit, and most people who find me have already hit it.

Stress
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Chronic stress often isn't just about having too much on your plate—it's also about the invisible emotional burdens you're carrying underneath. Many people find themselves stuck in high-alert, people-pleasing, or perfectionistic modes without realizing these patterns were once essential for safety, connection, or approval. In our work together, we look beyond surface-level stress management techniques to understand what your stress is trying to protect you from. Through experiential therapy and memory reconsolidation, we gently access and update the emotional learning behind these patterns so that your nervous system can finally feel safe enough to let go. As a result, stress becomes something you can respond to with more flexibility, clarity, and resilience—not something that controls your every move.

Stress
Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Chronic stress and burnout aren't always about what's happening now — sometimes it's a nervous system that learned early on to stay braced for the next demand or mood shift, leaving you feeling overwhelmed even when things look fine on the surface. I help clients recognize these long-standing patterns and build a genuine sense of safety and ease.

GrewpTogether.ca
Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Stress is both good and bad. Positive stress is what hones our focus and determination. Negative stress is something to be soothed, something to understand and meet with curiosity. There are tools, I can give you those; there are different mindsets and I can give you those too; but most of all there is a decision to meet the anxious sides of you with compassion until these neural pathways begin to trust that the story they tell about the world isn't the only one worth listening to.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Stress can feel overwhelming, constant, and exhausting - affecting your mind, body, and daily life. Clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentle, evidence-based approach to help you manage stress more effectively. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state, hypnotherapy allows your mind and body to shift out of the cycle of tension, worry, and overthinking. Our work together can help you identify and release the patterns that trigger stress, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical tools to cope with challenging situations. Many clients find that hypnotherapy not only reduces immediate feelings of stress but also helps create lasting resilience, calm, and clarity, so you can respond to life’s demands with greater ease and confidence.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
We live in a particularly stressful moment in time, where many people are experiencing stress in multiple areas of their lives including, work, finances, family, and friendships. While stress is unavoidable, our reactions to our stressors can sometimes enhance the suffering we experience or the amount stress interferes in our lives. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will work on identifying your stressors and see if there are ways to change or manage your stressors in line with what is important to you in your life. If the stressors can't be altered, we will work on building skills to help you manage your reaction to the stressors and decrease your suffering.
