Receive Professional Support for Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety
When one is challenged by anxiety one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can feel out of control and out of balance. Anxiety can have crippling effects on the individual and may interfere with many areas of day to day life, including job performance and relationships. When anxiety is left unaddressed, it may lead to more severe emotional and physical issues. Having access to tools and techniques which help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety can help to significantly reduce stress levels and increase wellness.
Depression
There are a number of reasons an individual may suffer from feelings of sadness or depression. Some of these circumstances are temporary and will pass on their own. Sometimes, however, low moods and depressive thoughts and feelings become problematic as they present significant challenges in a person’s life and interfere with their ability to function. Finding the right support from friends, family, and professionals can be crucial in overcoming depressive episodes.Possible Themes to Explore in Therapy

Repressed Emotions
Read More
It may not always be possible to process the emotions involved when experiencing different life events, and so we may repress complicated emotions until we are more equipped to deal with them. Repressed emotions can show themselves as anxious thoughts or bouts of depression. Setting aside the time to nurture these repressed feelings can alleviate these challenges.
How therapy might help with Anxiety or Depression
When the effects of anxiety or depression are beginning to interfere with our lives, it can be difficult to imagine a way out of the pain. Hopelessness can arise as the symptoms of anxiety and depression become overwhelming. This hopelessness can often result in the individual isolating one’s self from friends and family, only causing more pain.
Therapy can offer a range of benefits for those challenged by anxious thoughts or depressive episodes. A professional therapist will be able to offer a compassionate ear, practical tools, and helpful resources to assist with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. A therapist can also work together with you as you set goals to keep you focused on taking compassionate action towards feeling better.
