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.

Stress
Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
When stress is keeping you awake at night, it can fuel a vicious cycle: lack of sleep makes it hard to function and get on top of life's stressors. This, of course, leads to anxiety about sleep and worse insomnia. I love teaching people concrete strategies for managing the stress that often causes poor sleep.

Stress
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.

Stress
Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Stress is a human response to perceived and real threats. I see how we struggle to manage stress not only in my work with clients, but in my personal life. I also see the courage it takes to address the sources of emotional distress. A therapist can help you get more clear about the sources, often early in life experiences, that have lead you to feel anxious, stressed, stuck in a pattern that feels like survival of threats. This work is difficult to do alone, with friends, and loved ones at times. I invite you to take the courage to reach out for help, support from a qualified therapist. Don't suffer longer than you need to when you feel stuck in stress.

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.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
