Anxiety Therapy

Breathe easier, calm your mind, and feel more

like yourself again.

Anxiety feels like your body and mind are stuck in “go” mode, on edge, even when there’s nothing to run from.

Thoughts race, replay, and spiral. Often worrying about what might happen, what you need to do next, replaying what did happen, and planning for every possible “worst-case scenario.” Falling asleep is a struggle because you can't shut your mind off.

Your chest might feel tight, your heart beats faster, and your stomach's upset or nauseas. Even small things seem urgent or overwhelming. You may be losing patience with your partner, friends, kids or at work and noticing that you feel more irritable.

You might replay conversations, google your symptoms, overthink decisions, or plan endlessly just to feel some control. But the more you try to calm it, the louder it gets - you don't feel in control of your emotions.

And it’s exhausting.

At Tri Lotus Psychotherapy, we can help you uncover what's causing your anxiety, develop tools to cope with it, and learn detach from your anxious thoughts so that you can finally find some calm.

What is Anxiety and how can counselling for anxiety help?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, characterized by feelings of worry, fear, or unease about potential future events.

Anxiety becomes problematic when it feels constant or overwhelming, interfering with daily life.

For many, anxiety creates a heightened state of alertness, where even small challenges feel like major threats. It’s as though the mind and body are stuck in a “fight or flight” response, making it difficult to relax or feel at ease.

Therapy can help individuals understand, manage, and reduce the impact of anxiety, allowing for a more peaceful, balanced life.

Types of Anxiety We Treat

Therapies for Anxiety Treatment

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected - and how this cycle can fuel anxiety. In therapy, you’ll learn practical tools to challenge anxious thinking, manage overwhelming emotions, and gradually face the things you’ve been avoiding. CBT is designed to help you build confidence, reduce anxiety, and develop coping skills you can carry with you throughout life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Learn how to detach from your thoughts and move through the physical sensations of anxiety so that they no longer have control over you. When we conquer avoidance associated with anxiety, we can commit to our values and live the life that we want. This approach focuses on anxiety relief techniques.

Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

Address the root cause of your anxiety. Discover the core emotions underlying your anxious symptoms and process them in a safe and supportive environment to release their hold over you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR for anxiety treatment helps by processing past traumatic or distressing experiences that may be contributing to present-day anxiety. Through bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps rewire the brain’s response to these memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing for healthier coping mechanisms and a greater sense of calm in the present.

Mindfulness for Anxiety

Informal mindfulness practices and mindfulness meditations teach you how to observe your thoughts and present moment experience without judgment. You can learn to observe anxious thoughts without getting overwhelmed by them, creating space between you and your anxiety. This reduces the power anxiety has over you and reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety.
