Online anxiety counselling/coaching is just as effective as in-person sessions due to the advancement in technology and the therapeutic relationship built between the client and the counsellor. Through secure video conferencing, we can engage in meaningful discussions, practice techniques, and work through challenges in a private and comfortable environment. Many clients find that the convenience of online sessions enhances their commitment to the therapeutic process.

TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a technique that uses gentle exercises to help release stored physical and emotional tension in the body. It’s particularly effective for managing stress, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. By engaging in TRE, you can experience improved relaxation, better sleep, and a greater sense of emotional well-being.

Absolutely. Integrating TRE with anxiety counselling can offer a holistic approach to managing anxiety. We can work together to tailor a session plan that combines TRE exercises to release physical tension with counselling techniques that address the underlying causes of your anxiety. This dual approach often provides more comprehensive and lasting results.

Online sessions can be a great fit if you have a busy schedule, limited mobility, or prefer the convenience of attending sessions from your own space. They are equally effective in fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, and research shows positive outcomes for many clients. However, if you have concerns, we can schedule a brief consultation to discuss your preferences and determine if online sessions align with your needs and goals.
