Anxiety and trauma counselling
Steady, trauma-informed support for anxiety, stress and painful experiences. In person in Victoria or online across BC with Breanne Charles, RCC.
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, a tight chest, sleepless nights or a constant sense that something is about to go wrong. Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected or stuck in patterns you never chose.
Counselling offers a safe, steady space to understand what is happening, ease the symptoms that are wearing you down, and gently work with the deeper experiences underneath them, at a pace that feels right for you.
Practical tools to calm your body and mind, alongside a deeper look at what keeps worry going.
Trauma-informed and response-based care that honours how you have coped and helps you feel safer in yourself.
Room to grieve a person, a relationship, your health or a version of life you expected.
Working with insomnia and restless nights together with the stress and thoughts that fuel them.
Understanding big emotions and building skills to stay grounded when they hit.
Noticing patterns you keep repeating with others and with yourself, and building healthier ways of relating.
Breanne uses an integrative approach, drawing on CBT, ACT, parts work, somatic techniques, and mindfulness and compassion practices. Sessions can focus on practical tools for symptoms you are living with right now, while also exploring deeper patterns to create lasting change.
Much of Breanne's experience has involved supporting women who have experienced intimate partner violence, and she works with people across the lifespan, from teens to seniors.
