Online Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t just live in your mind—and therapy doesn’t have to happen in an office.
If you’ve tried to out-think your anxiety and it hasn’t worked, there’s a reason.
For many people, anxiety is wired into the nervous system, not just the thought process.
Our online anxiety therapy sessions are designed for exactly that—helping you work with anxiety where it lives: in your body, your emotions, your inner system.
And you can access this work from the safety and privacy of your own home.
What Online Anxiety Therapy Looks Like
At Tidal Trauma Centre, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all therapy or basic coping strategies.
Instead, we integrate approaches that work with the deeper roots of anxiety.
Your therapist may draw from:
• EMDR Therapy to release memories or beliefs that keep your system on alert
• IFS Therapy to explore inner protectors and anxious parts
• Somatic Therapy to calm the body and regulate your nervous system
• Attachment-focused and relational therapy to heal the roots of insecurity and shame
This isn’t about pushing through or forcing calm.
It’s about gently untangling the deeper threads of anxiety—at your pace, in your space.
Who We Work With
Online anxiety therapy may be especially helpful if you:
• Experience chronic worry, panic, or social anxiety
• Feel shame, overthinking, or freeze responses
• Appear “high functioning” but feel internally overwhelmed
• Live with the impacts of trauma, childhood stress, or unmet needs
• Have already tried CBT or talk therapy and want something deeper
• Prefer the comfort and flexibility of online sessions

FAQs
Is virtual anxiety therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. Many clients feel safer and more regulated at home, which can help deepen the work. EMDR, somatic work, and IFS can all be done effectively online.
What if I feel anxious about starting therapy itself?
That’s completely normal. We’ll begin with safety and regulation before diving deeper. You don’t have to be “ready”—just curious and open.
Do I need special equipment for online therapy?
Just a device with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a private space. Many clients like to have a blanket, water, or journal nearby.
Can I switch to in-person later?
If you’re local to Surrey, yes. Many of our clients begin online and transition to in-person (or vice versa) depending on what works best for them.
