Anxiety or Fears
LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
What is anxiety? Anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about one or multiple things. For example, one may have an excessive amount of worry in several aspects of life (finances, career, health, responsibilities, parenting, family, household chores, etc). These worries can be major or minor concerns. Anxiety responses can be in the form of emotional or physical reactions. In small doses, anxiety can be helpful, especially when it helps protect us from danger. However, when anxiety becomes severe or happens frequently, it can become debilitating and can take over your life.
Psychotherapy can learn to reduce stressors and improve coping skills. There is evidence to suggest that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be successful in helping with anxiety, as during CBT, unhealthy thinking patterns that create anxiety are identified and challenged. Two other form of therapeutic treatment that may be recommended for anxiety are Relaxation Skills and Exposure Therapy.
Book an appointment today! Anxiety can grow and enable avoidance behaviors that can create harmful behavioral cycles and worsen anxiety.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Being able to talk and be listened to can be surprisingly effective at making many instances of anxiety become more manageable. The nervous system responds to being heard and understood, even when we don't feel like we can understand it on our own. Awareness of specific fears can emerge, take shape and be identified, enabling us to feel we have more agency over what we feel, and therefore in life.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
Anxiety and/or fear is a common experience for many of us. And regardless of the severity or intensity of fear or anxiety in your life, it can have a significant impact on your day-to-day experience, sometimes resulting in a fear of fear itself. Using an integrative and holistic approach, we can work to build up your resilience, distress tolerance, and coping skills to help you to face, accept, and mange these fears and anxieties, rather than avoiding or unintentionally maintaining them.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
As a Relational Therapist, I'll aim to connect and empathize with the unique anxieties and fears you're experiencing. I'll also be curious about how they might relate to your past or present. Oftentimes, when we're experiencing ongoing anxiety and fear, it's because we haven't experienced the connection, co-regulation, safety, or protection we've needed. This can be at an interpersonal level (perhaps someone, such as your caregivers were not present enough or were even harmful) or a societal level (the impacts of structural violences such as war, displacement, colonization, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc). Processing these roots or influences, especially with another person, can be key to shifting how they impact you.
Or perhaps your anxieties and fears don't feel related to a particular relational issue, but you're feeling alone with them—stuck, misunderstood, overwhelmed. I'll be here to help hold these feelings with you and explore what might be going on. Simply feeling less alone with our fears—and having regular, nonjudgmental space to let out our feelings—can be immensely helpful. Many of my clients come with fears or anxieties that seem "irrational" to them, but just won't go away. Oftentimes, those uncontrollable anxieties or fears are trying to keep us safe—they may just be over-active or out of date. Together we can explore this and find other ways to feel safety and calm.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we offer specialized care in managing anxiety and fears through somatic psychotherapy approaches, particularly Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) practiced by Clayre and Somatic Experiencing (SE) employed by Camber. These modalities are especially effective in addressing the physical manifestations and somatic sensations associated with anxiety.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy with Clayre focuses on the integration of somatic and cognitive techniques to address unresolved trauma and anxiety. By bringing awareness to bodily sensations and their associated emotional responses, SP helps individuals unlock new pathways to healing, providing tools to manage anxious feelings and recalibrate nervous system responses. Clayre’s gentle, attuned approach fosters an environment where clients can safely explore and transform their anxiety into a source of strength and self-awareness.
Somatic Experiencing with Camber offers a dynamic process that restores the natural flow of the nervous system. SE helps individuals renegotiate trauma and reduce physiological tension by focusing on body sensations rather than solely on the narrative of fear. Camber’s methodology facilitates the release of energy trapped in the body by past anxiety-provoking events, promoting a state of balance and heightened resilience.
Together, these therapeutic approaches provide a holistic strategy for anxiety management. They not only address the cognitive aspects of fear but also delve into how these fears are held and manifested within the body. This dual focus ensures a comprehensive healing process, enabling clients to experience lasting relief and a profound understanding of their emotional and physiological states. Clients are guided towards a harmonious integration of mind and body, empowering them to navigate life with renewed confidence and calm.

Amy Allen
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying
Anxiety is a normal part of human experience however sometimes it can feel out of our control. We should not look at dismissing or getting rid of anxiety, but rather controlling and regulating it. While working with me we will identify the source, triggers and outcomes as a way to take back control of our mind and body.

Rachel Morris
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Fritz Perls, the psychiatrist and founder of Gestalt therapy has been credited with saying, ‘Fear is excitement without the breath'. People can often feel isolated and overwhelmed by anxiety and/or fear. Working together, we can uncover/access supports that can transform your experience in these moments and in turn offer you new possibilities and freedom. Ultimately, we cannot completely escape these feelings, but we can become more curious and learn to trust that they offer important information. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that has been proven to work with symptoms including anxiety, phobias, and panic.
