Judith Barnard

Greetings! My name is Judith. I have over twenty years of experience helping women find relief from the debilitating effects of panic, anxiety and depression.

You may have anxiety if:

• your stomach constantly churns
• you fidget or can’t stay still
• you regularly wonder “what if this happens”
• your breathing is irregular or quicker than usual
• you feel sweaty or experience hot flashes
• you feel faint, dizzy or lightheaded 
• you feel tightness in your chest

You may have depression if:

• you are easily irritable or crabby
• you feel there is no joy in life
• you sleep too much or too little
• you find it difficult to focus or concentrate 
• you isolate yourself from your family and friends 
• you have lost interest in activities you once enjoyed
• you wish you could die

With appropriate therapy, anxiety and depression can be temporary states of being, not permanent. I know. I experienced several years of panic attacks and many bouts of depression. Therapy helped. I now live the life I want, not the life I once lived that was restricted by anxiety and depression.

Benefits of Counselling with Me

The biggest benefit of counseling with me is that I have a clear understanding of the pain, lost opportunities and disappointments of living with anxiety and depression. The good news is that you can disengage from the stranglehold they have on you. I can teach you:

• how to live in the present rather than spiraling into anxiety and depression 
• strategies and techniques that provide relief from anxiety and depression 
• how communicating assertively rather than passively or aggressively gets you the results you desire and deserve
• how responding from a place of positivity and gratitude decreases anxiety and depression 
• how loving yourself, giving yourself compassion and appreciating yourself increases your confidence and self-esteem
• how managing your emotions increases your ability to address problems thoughtfully 

I am happy to be a support and provide resources as you navigate through anxiety and depression towards peace, independence and joy.

Please phone for a free 20 minute consultation. If you have questions, feel free to phone me or e-mail me.

Don’t waste your one and only precious life living with anxiety and depression.
