Anxiety & Stress
When Worry Feels Constant, We’re Here
Anxiety can take many forms. It may manifest as restlessness, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or a persistent feeling that something isn’t right. You might feel tense all the time or find it hard to slow down and breathe. Sometimes, anxiety is tied to a specific situation. At other times, it seems to appear and linger for no reason.
At Stepping Stones Counselling Group, we offer compassionate, personalized counselling for anxiety. Whether you're managing daily stress or living with clinical anxiety, counselling can help you find more stability and calm.
Our team offers in-person sessions in Kelowna and secure online options, allowing you to access the support you need in a way that works best for you.
Signs Anxiety Might Be Affecting You
It’s more than worry.
Anxiety can affect your body, your thinking, and your ability to connect with others. You may notice:
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
A constant sense of dread or fear
Racing heart or shortness of breath
Difficulty focusing or making decisions
Irritability or feeling on edge
Avoidance of people, places, or situations
Whether these symptoms have been with you for a long time or just recently started, they are a sign that your nervous system may need support.
How Stepping Stones Counselling Group Can Help
You don’t have to manage this alone.
Counselling for anxiety may include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to reframe anxious thoughts
Grounding techniques to help you stay present
Breathing and self-regulation tools to calm your nervous system
Identifying and changing patterns that fuel anxiety
Exploring life changes, values, or relationships contributing to stress
Your counsellor will guide you at your own pace in a supportive and non-judgmental space.
Working with a therapist for anxiety and depression can help you make sense of what you're feeling and regain a sense of control. Together, you and your counsellor will explore your experience and identify tools and strategies that work for you.
When Anxiety and Depression Are Connected
It’s common to experience both anxiety and depression. You may feel overwhelmed and restless or experience a lack of energy, motivation, and emotional exhaustion. These conditions can overlap and influence one another, making it difficult to know where to begin.
Your therapist can help you understand the connection and work with both experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
