There is not a one size fit’s all therapy. I have created examples of different narratives below. Take a look below to explore which of these areas might resonate with you while knowing there are countless other narratives that need individuality.

Trauma Informed Counselling

At Freed and On Fire Counselling, sessions are designed to help you feel emotionally safe, understood, and supported. You don’t have to explain or justify your reactions. You don’t have to “be strong.” You get to arrive exactly as you are.

Counselling for Anxiety & Emotional Overwhelm

Anxiety can feel like a constant hum in the background—or a tidal wave that hits without warning. Emotional overwhelm can make even simple decisions feel impossible. You’re not alone, and you’re not “too much.”

This service offers a steady, compassionate space to understand what’s happening inside you and learn how to feel safe again.

This service is for you if you experience

• overthinking or spiraling thoughts

• emotional shutdown

• difficulty relaxing or sleeping

• feeling constantly “on edge”

• people‑pleasing driven by fear

• guilt for needing rest or boundaries

What we focus on

• understanding your anxiety through a trauma‑informed lens

• building internal safety

• learning to regulate your nervous system

• reconnecting with your voice and needs

• reducing overwhelm without forcing yourself to “push through”

Counselling for Relationship & Attachment Trauma

Relationship patterns don’t come out of nowhere—they’re shaped by what you learned about love, safety, and connection long before adulthood.

This service helps you understand why you react the way you do, why certain relationships feel familiar or draining, and how to build healthier, more grounded connections.

Common reasons people seek this service

• attracting emotionally unavailable partners

• feeling responsible for others’ emotions

• difficulty setting boundaries

• fear of abandonment or rejection

• shutting down during conflict

• staying in relationships that hurt

What we explore together

• emotional safety in relationships

• your nervous system’s responses

• how childhood experiences shape adult dynamics

Counselling Adults with Childhood Emotional Trauma

Childhood emotional trauma doesn’t always look like chaos. Sometimes it looks like silence, inconsistency, emotional neglect, or being the “strong one” long before you were ready.

This service helps you understand how those early experiences shaped your identity, your coping patterns, and your relationships—and how to begin healing with compassion.

This service supports adults who experienced

• emotional neglect

• inconsistent caregiving

• parentification (growing up too fast)

• criticism or perfectionism

• feeling unseen or unheard

• chaotic or unpredictable environments

What healing looks like here

• understanding your story without shame

• learning to feel safe in your body

• reconnecting with your needs

• releasing old survival patterns

• building emotional resilience
