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 help people untangle the protective strategies they built to stay safe, connected, and capable so when old patterns activate, there is space to respond differently.

Your patterns did not come out of nowhere. There are reasons you learned to show up this way. Many of them were intelligent adaptations.

But insight alone doesn’t create change.

In our work together, we slow things down so you can see clearly what’s happening when old patterns activate. This is helpful especially for moments where being fully yourself and staying connected to others have felt at odds.

We look at the beliefs, relational dynamics, and nervous system responses shaping those moments. And we practice creating space so you are not automatically pulled by what feels familiar.

This is not about fixing you. It’s about understanding your patterns and strategies well enough that they no longer take over without your awareness.

Through this work, you can begin to:

  • Feel 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 suppressing or over-analyzing it.

  • Make decisions from alignment instead of anxiety or shame.

My approach integrates emotional processing, attachment awareness, and practical tools. We use structure when it supports you, depth when it’s needed, and challenge when old patterns are quietly keeping you stuck.

Reaching out can feel vulnerable. But imagine moving through your days responding from steadiness rather than reacting from fear.

If you’re ready to understand what’s underneath, and practice responding with more intention, I would be honoured to work alongside you.

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.
