Anxiety Support & Counselling

Do You Feel Constantly Worried, On Edge, or Overwhelmed?

At Ivy Counselling and Wellness, we understand how anxiety can affect your daily life — from restless thoughts and tension to difficulty concentrating, sleep disruption, or avoiding situations you once handled with ease. You don’t have to navigate these feelings alone — support is available.

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent, intense, or hard to control, it can interfere with relationships, work, sleep, and your sense of wellbeing. Some common experiences people seek support for include:

  • Excessive worry or fear that feels hard to control

  • Feeling restless, tense, or “on edge”

  • Physical symptoms (racing heart, tension, difficulty breathing)

  • Avoidance of social situations or responsibilities

  • Sleep difficulties or trouble concentrating

Therapy can help you understand what’s driving your anxiety and build skills to manage it more effectively.
