Anxiety Counselling For Christians
Online 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.
Meet Shawna
Shawna Tiles is a Registered Psychotherapist who works with young adults and adults struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship stress, and life transitions.
Clients often come to Shawna feeling stuck between what they need and what they believe others expect from them. Together, they explore patterns that create anxiety, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion while building greater confidence, self-trust, and clarity.
Shawna’s approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping people reconnect with their own voice.
The Burden of the Anxious Helper
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 guilt that your worry means your trust in God is failing.
Does Anxiety Signal a Crisis of Faith?
Not necessarily. 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. Together, 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.
Care That Understands Your Beliefs
My method isn’t from a textbook alone. It’s shaped by the intersection of faith and human emotion, as a grown clergy kid and seminary grad.
We’ll do the work of renewing the mind and challenging the inner critic and perfectionism that plagues so many caregivers, and replacing it with the truth of your inherent worth.
Soul-Level Care:
We go deeper than the surface worry. We’ll explore the roots: the “what ifs” arising from sudden change, 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:
Your feelings are not enemies of your faith, but valuable messengers you can learn to understand without being overwhelmed by them.
Help for Your Questions:
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.

Specialized Understanding for Faith Wounds
Anxiety is often disguised as competence and people pleasing. It looks like:
Relentless perfectionism that leaves you exhausted.
Rumination long after your day ends.
The hollow fear of “imposter syndrome,” wondering when you’ll be exposed as not knowing enough.
I am dedicated to helping you resist over-functioning. We will build a foundation of resilience, so you can serve from a place of abundance, not depletion.
