Anxiety

Anxiety is normal. Most people are anxious from time to time. A healthy amount of anxiety and stress can motivate people to change and grow. But for many, excessive anxiety can prevent them from leading the lives they want. Where does anxiety come from? Anxiety is a universal response to many unrealized emotions such as fear, sadness, or anger. Often, anxiety is an adaptive reaction learned at an early age. It may indicate that you have important needs that aren’t being met. Perhaps you are neglecting friendships, relationships, self–care or avoiding conflict because it feels unbearable to face. Whatever the reason for your anxiety, it is never too late to learn how to overcome it. In counselling, I will help you discover what you need, help you understand what patterns you may be repeating, and help you find new ways to take care of yourself so that you can manage life stressors with greater ease.
