Feeling Anxious or On Edge? You’re Not Alone.
If you’re looking for anxiety counselling in Whitecourt, Edmonton, or nearby, you’re likely carrying something that feels heavy, constant, or confusing — even if you can’t fully name it.
Reaching out for help isn't a weakness. It's a sign of awareness. Of readiness. And it’s often the first step toward feeling more regulated, resourced, and at home in your body again.
What Is Anxiety Counselling?
Anxiety counselling isn't about “fixing” you. It’s about supporting your nervous system, helping you understand your responses, and building the capacity to feel more settled and safe — from the inside out.
My work is grounded in:
Somatic therapy (including Somatic Experiencing®)
Mindfulness-based practices
Body awareness and grounding tools
This approach helps you gently reconnect with the physical and emotional signals your body may be sending — especially if you've been stuck in patterns of fear, overwhelm, overthinking, or avoidance.
What You Might Be Feeling
Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. It may look like:
A constant sense of restlessness or tension
Avoidance of situations that used to feel fine
Trouble sleeping, relaxing, or turning your brain “off”
Shortness of breath, dizziness, or a racing heart
Feeling emotionally shut down or hyper-alert
A vague but persistent sense that something isn’t right
Even if you're not in a crisis, you still deserve support. Small daily symptoms can wear down your energy, your confidence, and your relationships over time.
What to Expect in a Session
Counselling with me is not scripted or one-size-fits-all. Every session is shaped by your needs and pace.
You can expect:
A calm, non-judgmental space
Support in tuning into your body’s cues and responses
Mindful tools for grounding and self-regulation
Room to be curious about what your anxiety is trying to protect or signal
No pressure to talk through trauma or go “deep” unless you feel ready and that’s what you want
The goal isn’t to get rid of anxiety altogether — it’s to shift how you relate to it.
