 Help with anxiety and stress.
Talk to a registered counsellor who understands, in person or online.

Mackay Counsellor - Tom Curtis 

People come to see me for many reasons, including anxiety, traumatic experiences, stress, grief, relationship difficulties and depression. In particular, I specialise in helping clients with chronic stress and anxiety in a friendly and non-judgmental way. For many, anxiety isn't just about feeling anxious - having symptoms - it's also about a pervading sense of unease about their place in the world. It can show up as an underlying sense of "doom" which never seems to go away completely. Fundamentally, my experience is that anxiety sufferers don't feel safe, and what they most need is meaningful connection with others which gives them the sense that they, and the world, are OK.

As a registered counsellor I have training in a range of psychotherapies which I  tailor to the individual person's needs. I work with adults of all ages to help them make sense of what's happening in their lives, provide practical tools to reduce stress and worry, and explore deeper issues which may be getting in the way of doing what they really want.

I deeply value being accepting of people, and listening in depth to their unique stories. Accepting ourselves and feeling accepted is often the first step towards feeling better, I believe.
