What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is more than feeling stressed from time to time—it’s a mental health condition that affects your thoughts, emotions, and body. It can show up as persistent worry, fear, or even physical symptoms like a racing heart or difficulty breathing. Left untreated, it can interfere with work, relationships, and your overall well-being. Anxiety can also show alongside other issues like depression, OCD, post-traumatic stress disorder, or eating disorders.

The good news? It is treatable. Our Southwestern Ontario anxiety counselling services are here to help you regain balance and peace of mind. Contact Us Today to get started.

Signs You Might Be Struggling:

Anxiety looks different for everyone, but common symptoms include:

• Constant worry or fear
• Feeling restless or easily irritated
• Trouble focusing or making decisions
• Difficulty sleeping, including insomnia or frequent nightmares
• Physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, sweating, or nausea
• Avoiding certain situations or activities
• Panic attacks with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath
• Fear of social situations, also known as social phobia

Do these sound familiar? With therapies like CBT for anxiety and mindfulness practices such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or dialectical behavioural therapy, we can help you find relief.

Causes of Anxiousness:

Anxiety often stems from a combination of factors, such as:

• Stressful Life Events: Trauma, grief, or major life changes.
• Biological Factors: Genetics or chemical imbalances in the brain.
• Personality Traits: Sensitivity, perfectionism, or cautious tendencies.
• Chronic Stress: Difficulties at work, school, or in relationships.

Our Ontario-based counselling team will work with you to uncover and address these root causes. If you are curious about the counselling costs to uncover and address the root causes, see Hannah and Hailey’s therapy rates.
