Create Calm, Find Direction, Feel Like Yourself Again
Counselling for Managing Stress in Edmonton
When stress builds up in our personal lives, it often spills into work or school, leading to overwhelm, fatigue, irritability, headaches, difficulty concentrating, low mood, and burnout. You might find yourself taking on too much, struggling with work-life balance, or simply going through the motions on autopilot.
At work or school, stress may look like:
Constantly feeling behind or overwhelmed
Procrastination and difficulty focusing
Avoiding tasks or withdrawing from coworkers or classmates
Forgetfulness or making uncharacteristic mistakes
Difficulty setting boundaries or saying no
Feeling pressure to perform at an unsustainable level
Heightened conflict or tension with colleagues, supervisors, or peers
At Solace Psychology & Wellness in Edmonton and St. Albert, our experienced therapists provide evidence-based stress management counselling to help you understand your stress responses, regulate your emotions, and build healthy coping strategies. Whether you’re a student, working professional, parent, or caregiver, our goal is to help you restore balance, build resilience, and feel more present, focused, and in control of your life.
We also provide dedicated support for individuals who are currently on disability or medical leave from work. Our therapy team works closely with clients to promote a smooth and sustainable return-to-work process. If you have extended health benefits, we can collaborate with your insurance adjudicator or case manager to assist in developing gradual return-to-work plans and personalized workplace accommodations that support your mental health and long-term success.
Whether you’re coping with daily stressors or going through a significant life shift, you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to pause, reflect, and reset so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and strength.

Expert Counselling for Workplace Stress & Burnout in Edmonton
How Counselling Can Help You Manage Work-Related Stress
Workplace stress is more than just a busy schedule. It can deeply affect your physical health, emotional well-being, and personal relationships. Whether you’re juggling deadlines, navigating challenging dynamics with colleagues, managing responsibilities at home, or simply feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, you don’t have to face it alone.
Our multi-disciplinary team offers a supportive, confidential space for you to explore the complexities of work-related stress. Our experienced psychologists specialize in helping individuals manage chronic fatigue, emotional exhaustion, irritability, and the loss of clarity or motivation that often accompany burnout. Together, we’ll help you regain balance, build resilience, and feel more in control of your daily life.
Common topics addressed in counselling include:
Work/life balance, effective routines, and boundaries
Navigating demanding work environments
Relational stress with colleagues or supervisors
Parenting and family pressures
Self-care, motivation, and emotional regulation
Returning to work after medical or disability leave
Through evidence-based strategies (including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and stress management techniques) you’ll learn how to prevent burnout, respond effectively to workplace challenges, and restore your sense of clarity and inner strength.
Our Founder/Clinical Director brings a wealth of specialized knowledge from her background as a Case Manager and Counsellor in successful Return to Work programs, where she supported individuals in overcoming occupational stress and reintegrating into the workforce. This firsthand experience has shaped our clinic’s thoughtful, action-oriented approach to work-related mental health care.
Whether you’re struggling to stay afloat or ready to redefine how you work and live, we’re here to help you reconnect with your goals, confidence, and capacity to thrive.

EVIDENCE-BASED THERAPY at solace FOR MANAGING STRESs
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
At Solace Psychology & Wellness, we offer practical, proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you manage stress effectively, whether it’s personal, academic, or work-related. When left unchecked, stress can affect your mood, concentration, energy, and ability to function day-to-day.
CBT for stress helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, so you can break unhelpful cycles such as overthinking, avoidance, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. Our therapists will guide you in building skills to reduce mental pressure, reframe negative thinking, and approach life’s demands with more clarity and resilience.
We also offer Work-Focused CBT for those facing job stress, workplace conflict, or adjusting to return-to-work after medical leave. This structured, goal-oriented approach is tailored to help you develop coping strategies, set boundaries, and regain control in high-demand environments.
Stress doesn’t have to run your life. With the support of our experienced psychologists, you’ll build tools to regulate your nervous system, restore balance, and feel confident in your ability to handle whatever life throws your way.
Let us support you in creating meaningful, sustainable change.
