Stress and burnout Management

Stress is an increasingly difficult part of life for many people. When stress is chronic, burnout can occur. We take a new look at how your emotional response to stress is trying to support you in making changes in your life that will support your long-term happiness.

Anxiety

The Anxiety Disorders Association of Canada reports that anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in Canada and treatment is highly successful. 

Our sessions provide an understanding of what anxiety is. Many people do not recognize symptoms of anxiety in their own thoughts, behaviour and physical well being. We provide proven strategies to help you take control of your thoughts. 

When we use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, clients learn to change how they feel by changing how they think. 

Stress management, supportive counselling and lifestyle balance strategies help those struggling with anxiety to gain control and enjoy life again. 

Grief

Grief is a complex response to the loss of someone (like a partner) or something to which one was attached.  A grief response is not just focused on the emotional response to loss; there are also physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions.  These sessions assist with working through the stages of grief to the reorganization of life.

Julie is currently using biofeedback as an additional resource for stress management. There will be no application of this equipment for pain management.

Exceptional Children

Counselling is offered for children with ADHD, ODD, Tourette Syndrome, Asperger Syndrome, learning disabilities, intellectual giftedness, anxiety, OCD, depression, eating disorders, medical conditions contributing to behavioural and emotional challenges, and self-harming behaviours.
