Conscious Arrow Counselling

Helping you understand what’s driving your thoughts and reactions, so you can move out of survival and into clarity, self-trust, and grounded choice.

Hi, I’m Alecia!

I work with folks who are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware - yet internally feel anxious, pressured, or never quite “enough”.

Often, you’ve learned to adapt in order to belong. You overthink conversations. You anticipate disappointment. You hold yourself to high standards. You try to fix your thoughts, regulate your emotions quickly, or push through discomfort so you don’t fall behind.

Those patterns didn’t come out of nowhere, they developed for a reason.

In our work together, we’ll slow things down. We’ll explore the beliefs and relational patterns that have shaped how you learned to show up in the world, especially where authenticity and attachment have felt at odds.

Rather than trying to “fix” you, we’ll focus on understanding the protective strategies that once made sense but may now feel exhausting or misaligned.

Through this work, you can begin to:

  • Feel more grounded in who you are, rather than who you think you need to be.

  • Set boundaries without spiralling into guilt or fear of rejection.

  • Loosen perfectionism and the urgency to “get it right.”

  • Tolerate emotion without immediately trying to suppress or analyze it.

  • Make decisions from alignment instead of anxiety or shame.

My approach integrates emotional processing, attachment awareness, and practical tools when helpful. We’ll use structure when it supports you, and depth when that’s what’s needed.

Reaching out can feel vulnerable and even a little scary, but imagine moving through your days leading with steadiness instead of fear.

If you’re ready to explore what’s underneath and move toward a more integrated, self-trusting way of being, I would be truly honoured to walk alongside you in that process.

We might be a
good fit if:

  • You’re high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, fractured, or exhausted on the inside.

  • You overthink your interactions and replay conversations long after they’re over.

  • You’ve learned to adapt, perform, or shrink to maintain connection — and you’re starting to wonder what that’s costing you.

  • You feel a constant urgency to “fix” yourself or your thinking, but it never quite brings relief.

  • You resonate with being “too much” or “too sensitive” at some point in your life.

  • You’re at a threshold. Something feels off, misaligned, or unsustainable even if you can’t fully name why.

  • You want more than coping tools. You want to understand what’s driving the pattern underneath.

  • Explore the deeper drivers beneath overthinking, shame, or urgency.

  • Understand how early relational experiences may have shaped current coping patterns.

  • Differentiate between protective strategies and your authentic needs.

  • Build tolerance for emotion rather than immediately trying to regulate or suppress it.

  • Provide practical tools when and where helpful so you can get through tough moments.

  • Strengthen your capacity to respond from choice rather than fear or habit.

  • Move toward a steadier, more integrated sense of self.
