Anxiety Counselling in Vancouver
A calmer space for anxious thoughts
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or unable to fully rest, counselling can help you feel more grounded and supported at your own pace.
When Anxiety Starts Taking Up Too Much Space
Anxiety can show up in so many different ways. For some people, it feels like constant overthinking, racing thoughts, tension in the body, difficulty sleeping, or always preparing for something to go wrong.
Your mind will not slow down
You replay conversations, plan for every possible outcome, or second-guess yourself.
Your body feels on alert
You feel tense, restless, tired, panicky, or unable to fully relax.
Everything feels like too much
Small things feel harder than they used to, and rest does not feel restorative.
You are avoiding more than usual
You put off decisions, messages, tasks, or conversations because they feel overwhelming.
Calm the noise, ease overwhelm, and feel more like yourself again with compassionate, trauma-informed support.
A trauma-informed approach to anxiety counselling
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the understanding that anxiety often makes sense in context.
Counselling can help you explore what your nervous system has learned, what patterns may be keeping anxiety active, and what kinds of support may help you feel more grounded.
-
Explore what anxiety looks like for you and what may be keeping it going.
-
Develop strategies for worry, overwhelm, physical tension, and stress.
-
Learn ways to feel more grounded, regulated, and present.
-
Understand anxiety in relation to your experiences, identity, relationships, and environment.
How Anxiety Counselling Can Help
Understanding patterns of overthinking, worry, or avoidance
Anxiety counselling may support you with:
Managing stress, emotional overwhelm, and racing thoughts
Building grounding tools and nervous system regulation strategies
Navigating work stress, relationships, motherhood, identity, or life transitions
Exploring how past experiences may be connected to present-day anxiety
Reducing self-criticism and strengthening self-compassion
Creating more space between anxious thoughts and how you respond to them
Jackie offers anxiety counselling in person from her Downtown Vancouver office and virtually for clients across British Columbia.
Online counselling can be a helpful option if you prefer support from home, live outside Vancouver, have a busy schedule, or feel more comfortable beginning therapy in a familiar space.
