Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get rid of anxiety?
Completely eradicating anxiety goes against its inherent purpose, which is rooted in ensuring our safety.
Anxiety is an essential aspect of human evolution. The human species owes its survival to our natural fear response.
The objective of engaging in anxiety management sessions is to change your relationship with anxiety, by disrupting and redirecting existing thoughts and behaviors.
These sessions equip you with tools, techniques and strategies to free yourself from the constraints of anxiety.
When you are no longer controlled by anxious thoughts, you gain the freedom to pursue your goals and passions with calm and ease.
Simultaneously, your confidence and self-esteem also receive a positive boost.
Clients consistently report improvements in their relationships, health, finances and careers, through their work with Jennifer.
It's important to note that anyone promising to completely eliminate anxiety lacks a comprehensive understanding of the subject and they are not an anxiety specialist.
Anxiety does serve a purpose and it will resurface if you find yourself in a genuinely fearful situation, just as it is designed to do!!
With the correct tools and techniques that you will have learned, you'll be able to make rational decisions and navigate these situations effectively and fearlessly.
How many sessions does it take before I can overcome my anxiety?
The number of sessions required varies for each individual and depends on your commitment to change and your dedication to implementing what you've learned.
Jennifer offers a FREE no obligation consultation call where you can discuss your situation (or that of your child) and she will tailor a unique solution for you.
Can I do a combination of in person and zoom anxiety management sessions?
Do you do drop ins or do I have to prebook a session?
Sessions need to be pre-booked in advance.
How long is the waiting list for anxiety therapy?
Jennifer typically gets clients started on sessions within 1 to 2 weeks of the initial consultation call.
Do you do emergency anxiety therapy sessions?
Yes, Jennifer does have a limited number of emergency sessions available each month, with priority given to existing clients, children and young adults in urgent need.

With proper permissions, Jennifer can also collaborate with the school to ensure the best outcome for the child.
Can I accompany my child to sessions if they are too anxious to attend alone?
Yes, you can attend sessions with your child. However, Jennifer's goal is to guide your child toward gaining confidence and belief in their own abilities as quickly as possible. This is often achieved more efficiently without the parent being present.
Nevertheless, it is beneficial for parents to gain a deeper understanding of anxiety and learn how to best support their child in the home environment.
This aspect can be discussed during the initial FREE 45-minute consultation call.
My partner struggles to comprehend my anxiety, and it's causing tension and frustration. How can I help him understand?

How much do you charge for your Anxiety Management Therapy?
You don't need to endure the burdens of stress, worry, fear, or anxiety any longer.
