Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
Anxiety, Stress and Worry affects us all. We evolved to deal with stressful threats every now and again. We are not evolved to deal with the sheer uniquely and prevalence of stressful situations that pervade our homes, communities and workplaces. Worry about the past and keeping the pain of the past in the present is widespread. Anxiety about the future invariably involves perceptions about what we imagine may happen, but which the mind has difficulty differentiating between what is real and what our imagination has created. Fortunately there is a profusion of strategies for minimising stress and the effects of worry and anxiety, and my approaches involve building self-esteem up to previous levels, mindful mediation to enable you to take a step back from worrisome thoughts, rather than become subsumed by them, and helping you reorient locus of control so you are more in control of yourself, rather than delegating responsibility to external influences.

Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Stress comes in so many forms and once it kicks off, near everything can then become stressful. We can assume that we are generally stressed, that everything is going wrong and that it is just how life is. Once you start breaking down what is causing you stress you might find that not all of it is yours, and not all of it is necessary. We juggle so much in life, then we take on other people's worries, add everyday stuff going on in the world, and before you know it you are drowning in it. Counselling can help you break it down, work out how much of it is not needed, and can offer strategies for when life is feeling big or heavy. You might not even be able to imagine what that looks like right now. You might not even believe it is possible. If this is the case, what have you got to lose by trying? You just might surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Stress can infiltrate every aspect of our lives, affecting not just our mental well-being, but also our physical health. My approach to tackling stress is both holistic and multifaceted. I integrate mindfulness techniques and somatic practices to provide immediate coping strategies, aiding you in the moment-to-moment challenges that stress can present. My work is also informed by the Polyvagal Theory, which offers a physiological framework for understanding how stress impacts our nervous system. This integrative approach is designed to give you a comprehensive set of tools to manage stress effectively, cultivating a sense of balance and resilience that extends beyond our sessions.
