Anxiety is a powerful emotion that can cause a lot of distress when not managed well. Anxiety is a normal human emotion in response to stress or a threat in our environment but can sometimes get out of hand. Therapy at West Coast Counseling can help you to manage your anxiety, identify the stressors in your life and develop coping skills to manage your life better all in a safe, supportive environment.

We will go over situations that result in the client feeling anxious, what their thoughts are in those moments when they are anxious and their behaviour as a result. We will look at challenging negative thoughts into realistic thoughts and gradual exposure exercises when there are fears that are getting in the way. We will go over psycho-education about anxiety.
