Anxiety is often manifested in physical symptoms such as rapid or heavy breathing, chest tightness, heart palpitation. Clients often find themselves in their GP's office as they are convinced that they have a serious medical condition. People are often relieved to know that they are physically healthy, but they are left confused, scared, and embarrassed as they feel may feel that they are going 'crazy' as they can't understand their experiences. Research shows that the best treatment for Anxiety is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Stress and anxiety are the biggest preventable causes of unhappiness and illness. They poison your relationships, self-esteem, health, and happiness. The goals in helping you manage your stress/anxiety are to understand what your personal reaction to anxiety-provoking situations are, identify what your related concerns are, and learn to "let go" of anxiety. I will help you become more aware of the internal self-talk and how your thoughts affect your feelings. Thoughts affect feelings - feelings affect actions.

It is normal to worry and feel stressed about life's problems and pressures. But when compounded symptoms begin to overwhelm us to the point where we are getting headaches, heart palpitations, a churning stomach, cold sweats, sleepless nights, weight loss, obsessive thoughts, a distressed GI tract - then we need help to break the adrenaline-fear cycle. Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be confronted, appropriately and safely, with relaxation techniques, new perceptions and constructive thinking patterns. A counsellor can help you do this.

Feeling constantly stressed and anxious is exhausting.

Anxiety is an emotion that can be felt within the body and often triggers physical symptoms. Worrying about future events or having a reaction to current events or fears can be a common form of anxiety.

Our goal is to teach skills and strategies to help you manage anxiety as well as assist you in changing anxiety provoking thoughts.

Anxiety, panic and fear are feelings that clients can learn to understand and manage. However, building more fear on top of these feelings, can prevent clients from being able to be mindful of, present to and compassionate towards their difficult feelings. The safe non-judgmental compassionate attitude of the therapist helps to encourage the client to be accepting of her/his own difficult feelings and experiences. Examining negative thoughts and beliefs, and understanding situations or relationships that trigger anxiety can lead clients to see new choices for coping with discomfort. Successes in coping lead to a sense of empowerment and increased confidence for new challenges.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses today but that doesn't mean they have to be debilitating.

Most individuals experience anxiety from time to time or in response to very stressful moments in their lives. When anxiety occurs in response to normal daily activities or becomes constant, overwhelming, difficult to control and starts to interfere with daily life, it might mean you are experiencing an anxiety disorder. Therapy that addresses anxiety can help you identify and understand your symptoms and learn new ways of thinking, and new behaviour patterns that can greatly reduce your anxiety. Finding a therapist whom you trust and connect with is very important and can be the beginning of feeling more in control of your life.

We all experience some form of stress in meeting the various challenges of life, but sometimes we can get overwhelmed.

Clients can benefit from anxiety and stress treatment and counseling from a psychotherapist in several ways.

Secondly, therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express their thoughts and feelings. clients can gain greater clarity and perspective on their experiences, which can help to reduce their feelings of anxiety feelings of anxiety and stress.

Stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on an individual and their health. Without proper support and understanding, an individual can struggle with their daily functioning or even get physically ill. Fortunately, talking it out and exploring the anxiety and the stress through counselling can also help individuals who battle stress on a regular basis. Counselling can help you gain perspective on your current thought patterns and coping skills, while also working to give you the advantage over the stress and anxiety.

Anxiety can be an overwhelming, all-consuming experience. It can take over our whole being. This is why I offer an embodied approach to exploring anxiety together, so that you can gain awareness around your unique physiological responses to stress and worry, and become more empowered to draw on the supports available to you in stressful situations.

In working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, I use both a cognitive behavioural therapeutic (CBT) approach and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. The principal aim of cognitive behavioural therapy is to increase awareness that thoughts and behaviour drive emotion. My aim is to increase consciousness of distorted perceptions, and then assist individuals in rebalancing those perceptions to be more accurate. EMDR focuses specifically on reprocessing traumatic memories that are at the root of the anxiety. Through EMDR individuals can come to terms with traumatic and distressing memories that underlie anxiety.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.
