Individual Counselling — Support for Anxiety, Stress, Trauma & Life Challenges

Feeling Overwhelmed, Anxious, or Stuck?

If you're feeling like life is too much right now — you are not alone. Many people reach out for therapy when they’re holding more than they can carry alone:

• Constant anxiety

• Overwhelming stress

• Feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected

• Navigating relationship struggles or life transitions

• Processing grief, burnout, or past trauma

At Reclaim & Rise Counselling, we offer individual counselling in Stratford, Ontario, and virtually across the province. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to hold it all together — where you can be heard, supported, and gently guided toward feeling more like yourself again.

Why People Choose Individual Counselling

Clients often reach out when they are experiencing:

• Anxiety, worry, or panic attacks

• Stress and burnout from work, caregiving, or daily life

• Relationship or family difficulties

• Low self-esteem, shame, or self-criticism

• The lasting effects of trauma or difficult past experiences

• Grief and loss

• Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or stuck

• Uncertainty about their next steps in life

Whether you have a clear name for what you’re going through — or just a sense that something isn’t right — individual counselling can help.

How Counselling Can Help

Individual therapy is more than just talking — it’s a collaborative space where healing and change happen.
Through counselling, you can:

• Feel less anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck

• Learn how to navigate life's challenges with more ease

• Develop coping strategies for stress and anxiety

• Heal from past trauma and emotional pain

• Improve relationships and communication

• Build confidence, resilience, and self-compassion

• Reconnect with yourself and what truly matters to you

What to Expect in Counselling

Our first session is all about getting to know you — your story, your hopes, and what’s bringing you here. Together, we’ll gently create a plan tailored to you.

In therapy, you might:

• Explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe, supportive space

• Learn practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, or overwhelming emotions

• Work through relationship challenges, grief, or trauma

• Build skills to help you feel more grounded, confident, and resilient

• Move at your own pace — you are never rushed

We offer in-person counselling in Stratford and virtual counselling across Ontario so you can choose the option that feels best for you.
