Christian Anxiety Counselling That Understands Your Faith and Your Fears.
Your Faith Can Be Your Anchor in Anxiety, Not Another Source of Pressure.
Online Christian Counselling in Ontario for Anxiety, Panic, and Chronic Worry. A safe space to quiet the noise, reconnect with peace, and heal the source of your anxiety, all from a perspective that honours your Christian faith.
The Burden of the Anxious Helper
I’ve sat with you in hospital rooms and in my office. You’re the caregiver, the professional, the one others lean on. You know the right scriptures. You know how to pray. But underneath, a silent alarm is always ringing. You lie awake rehearsing conversations, fearing you’ll make a catastrophic mistake, or feeling a spiritual guilt that your worry means your trust in God is failing.
Let me be clear: Your anxiety is not a measure of your faith.
It is often the sign of a nervous system that has been on high alert for too long, and a soul that is carrying burdens it was never meant to carry alone. In my practice, we treat your anxiety not as a spiritual failure, but as a signal from your whole being: mind, body, and spirit, that it’s time for a new way of living.
An Approach Forged in the Trenches of Care
My method isn’t from a textbook alone. It’s shaped by a decade at the crossroads of profound faith and raw human emotion, as a pastor, a hospital chaplain, and now a therapist.
We will move beyond simply “managing symptoms” and into integrating your broken pieces into a stronger whole. We’ll do the work of “Renewing the Mind” and challenging the inner critic and perfectionism that plagues so many helpers, and replacing it with the truth of your inherent worth.
Soul-Level Diagnosis:
We go deeper than the surface worry. We’ll explore the roots: the “what ifs” born from sudden change (like I witnessed in healthcare), the exhaustion of caregiver strain, or the complex grief of losing a version of yourself you thought you were supposed to be.
Clinical Tools, Spiritually Integrated:
We use proven methods like CBT and nervous system regulation, but I frame them through the lens of your values.
We’ll develop “Emotionally Healthy Spirituality” where your feelings are not enemies of your faith, but valuable messengers you can learn to understand without being overwhelmed by them.
A Sanctuary for Your Questions:
Having been a pastor, I understand the unique weight of spiritual expectation. This is a judgment-free zone for your doubts, your anger at God, or your fatigue with “church answers.” Your faith journey is welcome here in all its complexity.

You’ll leave with clarity on your next step, whether we work together or not.
Specialized Understanding for Wounded Healers
For the helper, anxiety is often disguised as competence. It looks like:
Relentless perfectionism that leaves you exhausted.
Rumination over a client’s or patient’s outcome long after your shift ends.
The hollow fear of “imposter syndrome,” wondering when you’ll be exposed as not knowing enough.
My work is dedicated to helping you lay down the armor of over-functioning. We will build a foundation of true resilience, so you can serve from a place of abundance, not depletion.
Your Questions About Christian Anxiety Counselling Online
- “I’ve prayed for peace. Why am I still so anxious?”
I hear this often. Think of it this way: If you pray for healing for a broken leg, you also need to see a doctor and do physio. God provides peace, and He also provides the clinical science and therapeutic relationships to help our minds and bodies receive that peace. We work on both. - “As a former pastor, do you think anxiety is a sin?”
My experience has taught me the opposite. Anxiety is a human response to threat, loss, and overwhelm. Some of the most faithful people I’ve known, in hospitals and churches, have wrestled with profound anxiety. We meet it with compassion, not condemnation. - “I’m on stress leave. Can you help?”
Absolutely. This is a critical time for healing, not just waiting to return. We can work together to understand the role anxiety played in your burnout, develop sustainable coping tools, and create a map for returning to your vocation with new boundaries and emotional strength.
