Anxiety Counselling in Calgary
Counselling For Anxiety Can Improve Your Life
Anxiety is a problem when your worries or fears interrupt your day-to-day life. For people who deal with anxiety every day, an overwhelming sense of dread or defeating thoughts can lead to avoiding leaving the house, seeing people, going to certain places, or working. Anxiety issues can lead to depression and other mental health conditions when they interfere with your ability to function. You do not have to live with these symptoms. Counselling is available to help you build the tools you need to navigate anxiety.
How Do I Know If I Have Anxiety?
While worry and fear are normal feelings, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder if you consistently feel one or more of the following:
Nervous, restless, or on edge
A sense of impending danger
Difficulty concentrating
Difficulty controlling your worry
How Can Counselling Help With My Anxiety?
Unlike medication that only provides temporary relief, counselling can provide you with long-term coping strategies you can use when you feel triggered. Having a safe space to communicate your thoughts and feelings with an unbiased professional can help you unpack and tackle your fears. Counselling gets to the underlying cause of your anxiety and allows you to process where these thoughts are coming from. By understanding anxiety, you’ll be equipped with the tools you need when it arises.
You can overcome
- Defeating thoughts and excessive worry
- Social anxiety and avoidance
- Stress and tension in the body
What You Can Discover On The Other Side
When your anxiety no longer controls you, you can begin to live a happy and fulfilled life. While some anxiety disorders may not disappear completely, symptoms can be reduced and effectively managed with the right coping tools. Counselling for anxiety brings awareness to how anxiety manifests in your body, your relationships, and your life. Anxiety shows up differently for everyone, which is why our strategies are personalized for each individual.

This is on a case-by-case basis and depends on your situation. Some people end their counselling sessions when they feel confident in their ability to use healthy coping tools while others choose long-term counselling to help them navigate their battle with anxiety symptoms.
