Anxiety

It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time. However, ongoing anxiety can hold us back and prevent us from living our lives fully.  Learn effective strategies to overcome anxiety with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (or CBT for short), a clinically proven form of psychotherapy.  CBT is all about how to make positive, constructive changes.  CBT focuses on specific skills to manage your symptoms, to help you engage in activities that you may have avoided or found especially stressful.

Clinical research has demonstrated that CBT is very effective for the treatment of:

Generalized Anxiety - persistent anxiety and worry

Social Anxiety - fear of social situations, meeting people

Panic Disorder - sudden attacks of panic or fear

Health Anxiety - fear and worry about serious health conditions

Managing Stress

We are living in a time of incredible stress. Stress affects all aspects of our lives – our physical and our mental health. Stress management is about building resilience so we can meet challenges head on in a constructive way, but equally important part, it is also about reclaiming the positive aspects of our lives – joy, contentment, fulfillment.

Self-Confidence

Low self-confidence can hold us back in so many ways in our personal lives and in our careers. Lack of self-confidence robs us of the opportunity for growth, success and happiness.

We can develop self-confidence and a positive sense of self-worth. When we feel better about ourselves, our energy and motivation improve, helping us take the steps to achieve our goals.

Your wellbeing is the very foundation of all aspects of your life. It influences your mood and your interaction style, your level of energy and your motivation, your problem-solving and decision-making abilities. Developing work/life balance will allow you to be the best that you can be.

A diagnosis of chronic illness impacts all aspects of our lives. It is not unusual to experience low mood, worry, problems with sleep, difficulties with adherence to health care protocols. Psychological counselling can be helpful in dealing with these challenges. Over the course of therapy, our focus will be on learning strategies and techniques to help you move forward, and take steps to optimise your health.

Life is full of changes, some big, some small, some planned, some completely unexpected. While life transitions are part of our life experience, it does not mean they are easy to deal with. In fact, life transitions can be very challenging to cope with. Dealing with negative life events - the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship - can have a profound impact on us. Even positive life events, such as starting a new job, or becoming a parent, can present challenges. In therapy, we begin by exploring the impact of the life transitions you are experiencing. The next step is to define a plan to help you navigate through the demanding transitions you are going through.
