Limited Time Only: Our Intro Offer
Trauma changes how safe the world feels—therapy helps you reclaim peace.
You might notice your body staying tense, your mind replaying moments, or feeling on edge even when you’re safe. On the outside, you may seem composed, but inside it’s hard to relax or feel in control.
Feeling tense, restless, or on edge
Replaying the accident or avoiding reminders of it
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing, even when you’re safe
Muscle tightness, aches, or other physical discomfort
Trouble focusing or feeling distracted from daily tasks
Irritability or sudden mood changes
Overthinking decisions or situations related to safety and recovery
If this sounds familiar, counselling can help you understand why your body and mind are responding this way — and guide you toward feeling more calm, grounded, and in control during your recovery.
After a car accident, you may notice reactions such as:
Types of Stress Responses We Support
Everyone reacts differently to car accidents and trauma. At Narra Counselling, we work with a range of experiences, including:
Persistent Worry
Feeling constantly on edge or preoccupied with “what if” scenarios.
Overthinking and Rumination
Replaying events, conversations, or decisions in your mind repeatedly.
Social Stress
Feeling uneasy in social settings or avoiding interactions that feel triggering.
Panic or Intense Stress Episodes
Sudden waves of tension, racing heart, or a sense of being overwhelmed.
Sleep and Concentration Difficulties
Trouble falling or staying asleep, or feeling mentally scattered during the day.
Physical Tension and Discomfort
Muscle tightness, headaches, or other stress-related body aches.
Every response to trauma or stressful experiences is valid. Therapy can help you understand what your mind and body are doing, respond in healthier ways, and regain a sense of control over your life. At Narra Counselling, we offer support online across BC, so you can access help in a way that works best for you.
How Counselling Can Help After an Accident
THERAPY MAY SUPPORT YOU IN:
At Narra Counselling, we begin by understanding how your body and mind are responding after a car accident or stressful event. Together, we create a safe space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface and develop practical tools that help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control in your day-to-day life.
✔ Noticing anxious patterns with more compassion, not shame
✔ Learning how to calm your body and settle your thoughts
✔ Unpacking past experiences that shaped your sense of safety
✔ Finding ways to feel more present and in control again
✔ Letting go of constant self-monitoring and fear of getting it wrong
You do not need to be in crisis to begin. Many people come to therapy because they are tired of carrying the tension all the time.
Counselling for anxiety can be a safe, steady place to begin untangling it.
Our evidence-based treatment approach
At Narra Counselling, we draw from a range of evidence-based methods that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. Depending on what feels right for you, sessions may include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to worry, self-doubt, and fear. Over time, CBT helps build healthier thinking habits, reduce anxious responses, and improve emotional regulation.
Mindfulness-based tools
Mindfulness practices support individuals in staying present rather than feeling overwhelmed by future concerns or past regrets. Techniques such as breathwork, body scans, and grounding exercises allow individuals to observe anxious thoughts with more clarity and less judgment, helping reduce mental and emotional tension.
Body-Based Strategies for Anxiety
Because anxiety often manifests physically, body-based tools are integrated to help calm the nervous system. Grounding techniques, breath regulation, and somatic awareness exercises are used to support the body’s ability to recover from stress and return to a more settled state.
Trauma-Informed Approach
Many individuals with anxiety have experienced past events that continue to impact their nervous system. A trauma-informed approach recognises the link between anxiety and unresolved trauma, offering a safe and respectful space to explore patterns and responses at a manageable pace.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach here.
We’ll work together to find what resonates with you, and we’ll adapt along the way.

Therapy isn’t about eliminating fear—it’s about learning to live fully, even when challenges remain. Over time, you may notice:
Greater awareness of what affects your stress and tension
Feeling less rushed and pressured in your daily life
A kinder, more supportive inner voice replacing self-criticism
Confidence to set boundaries and speak up for yourself
The ability to slow down and enjoy moments without guilt
A deeper sense of calm and peace, not just distraction
Change doesn’t happen overnight, but every small step builds momentum. Even subtle progress can create meaningful relief and strength.
