Anxiety can be debilitating, and often stems from experiences we have had in our lives that made us feel overwhelmed, out of control, or not good enough. Inner Tides Counselling can help you to develop a deeper understanding of your experiences and how they have affected you, while building self-compassion and coping skills. I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy when suitable for reprocessing experiences that are still affecting you, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) for bringing awareness to negative thoughts, behaviours and feelings, and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) for building distress tolerance and new positive coping skills.

Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings".
