Living with depression and anxiety can be an overwhelming and exhausting experience, not only for the individual but also for their loved ones. These conditions often coexist, creating a cycle of intense fear, sadness, and physical symptoms that can impact daily life. It’s important to know that you don’t have to navigate this alone—counselling can provide you with the support and tools needed to regain your mental and emotional well-being and help you develop greater resilience against adversity.

SYMPTOMS WE TREAT

Depression
Depression can manifest in a variety of ways, affecting how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. You may experience:

• Changes in appetite and weight
• Altered sleep patterns
• Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
• Loss of motivation or interest in previously enjoyable activities
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• Fatigue or lack of energy
• Thoughts of self-harm

Our counsellors are here to help you navigate these difficult emotions, explore their underlying causes, and develop healthier coping mechanisms to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.

Anxiety
Anxiety disorders can lead to constant worry, fear, and even physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, or dizziness. Common forms of anxiety include:

• Generalized anxiety disorder
• Social anxiety
• Panic disorder
• Performance anxiety
• Phobias
• Separation anxiety
• Post-traumatic stress (anxiety linked to trauma)

If you're struggling with any of these, our counselling team can help you identify triggers, work through anxious thoughts, and build strategies to manage anxiety more effectively in your daily life.

WHY SEEK COUNSELLING?

Depression and anxiety are incredibly common. According to a 2022 report by Statistics Canada, 4 million Canadians reported an anxiety disorder in the past 12 months, while 3.4 million Canadians had a mood disorder such as depression in the past year. Left untreated, these conditions can severely impact your work, relationships, and well-being. Counselling offers a safe space to explore the root causes of these emotions and learn effective strategies to manage and reduce symptoms.

Our counsellors will work with you to uncover the deeper issues that contribute to your depression or anxiety. Together, we can develop a personalized plan that helps you build resilience, find relief, and begin to live a more balanced, fulfilling life.
