Stress
Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
Stress counselling provides a safe and relaxed environment to reflect on your life's challenges. When things feel overwhelming, it's good to work with someone who creates a supportive space to figure out what is draining you and how it is impacting your body. I use mindfulness and somatic tools, as well as addressing self-care and self-compassion in this work. I specialize in burnout prevention and strive to help my clients live more authentically and get out of "survival mode".

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
Running on empty, unable to switch off even when you finally get a break, feeling on edge more days than not — chronic stress keeps your mind and body stuck in overdrive. Using EMDR, I help you process the experiences, memories, or patterns keeping you in that heightened state of tension, so your nervous system can actually settle rather than just being pushed through. Over time, this supports greater calm, balance, and resilience in your daily life.

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.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
Stress can build up from work, school, relationships, caregiving, major life changes, or the ongoing pressure to keep everything together. I support adults in understanding what is contributing to their stress, reducing overwhelm, setting healthier boundaries, and developing realistic coping strategies that fit their life.

Stress
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Chronic stress is frequently framed as an individual failure of time management, completely ignoring the systemic exhaustion born from navigating everyday oppression and institutional barriers. My online practice in BC rejects the capitalist pressure to just optimize your productivity; instead, we focus on deep nervous system awareness and decolonizing your relationship to rest. I will support you in slowing down to listen to your body’s signals, creating space to safely discharge accumulated tension.

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.

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.

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.
