Szilvia Kovacs
Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist, Hypnotherapist
We all have a certain amount of stress in our lives, and we can usually cope with it. The problem starts when the pressure is unmanageable via the known coping mechanisms, and we may feel helpless, grow anxious and have all sorts of psychosomatic symptoms. There are many tools to build resilience and set a new lifestyle for your harmony to prevent this chaotic state or recover from any stress-related issues. The regular practice of mindfulness, meditation or relaxation is the foundation of my therapy work.

Julie Jenner
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.

Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
For dealing with stress, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of stress and then they are able to take control of their bodies, we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. Stress is a reaction to unpredictability: more structure in your life will make your life more predictable and enjoyable.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Stress can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you in your stressreminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how stress feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MIAEB, FRAI
Anxiety, Stress and Worry affects us all. We evolved to deal with occasional stressful threats--hence our "fight or flight" response. We did not evolve to deal with the increasing persistence and prevalence of stressful situations -- at home, in our communities, and workplaces. Anxiety about living with or after cancer invariably involves perceptions about what we imagine may happen. But the mind often 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.

Alison Edwards Therapy & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for stress/ burnout, and for clients who feel overwhelmed with life events and long-term stresses or anxiety. Many clients are actually experiencing mild depression. CBT is the recommended psychological therapy for general anxiety, depression, panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety/ social phobia, and Generalised Anxiety Disorder*. I can also provide CBT for traumas and PTSD. During my professional qualification I chose to specialise in panic attacks and agoraphobia for my research and dissertation. (*GAD also known as chronic neurosis is excessive and persistent worrying about several areas of your life, worry that is out of proportion with the situation and interfering with day-to-day life, a feeling of not being able to control worrying, and difficulties around overthinking and planning for potential problems that have not occurred.)

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Stress can affect your body, mind, emotions, sleep, relationships, and ability to cope. You may feel under constant pressure, unable to switch off, emotionally stretched, or as though you are always holding too much. My approach is warm, practical, and psychologically informed. Together, we can explore not only what is causing the stress, but also the deeper patterns, expectations, fears, or pressures that may be keeping it going.

Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Everyone talks about stress like it's normal. "Just stressed" becomes the default answer when someone asks how you are. But when stress becomes your baseline—when your body never gets to rest, when you're constantly in fight-or-flight, when you can't remember the last time you felt calm—that's not normal. That's your nervous system stuck in survival mode.
You might notice it as tension headaches, trouble sleeping, irritability, or just feeling wired all the time. Your body's telling you it can't keep running at this pace, but you don't know how to slow down. Maybe you've tried meditation apps or breathing exercises, and they help for five minutes, then you're right back to it.
The problem isn't that you're bad at managing stress. The problem is understanding why your system stays activated even when there's no real threat. What are you protecting against? What feels dangerous about letting your guard down?
We work to understand what's keeping your nervous system on high alert, then help it learn that it's safe to rest. Not through more techniques to manage stress better, but by addressing why you're stuck in stress mode in the first place.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
If you find yourself feeling stressed - and this is your constant state- then welcome. I look forward helping you develop flexibility in your nervous system by recalling, or finding for the first time, what it's like to work, play, and relate from a *different place*. One that is a bit more adaptive and less painful. Chronic adrenal response, activation, fight-flight and 'always-on' takes a massive toll on your body and mind- and it's not a fun way to live. Let's find together ways to help you cope, the changes you may want to put in place, and most importantly, the felt- sense of something other than stress.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for stress, including feeling overwhelmed, emotionally overloaded, burnt out, or unable to switch off. Stress can show up in many ways, such as constant mental pressure, irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep disruption, or a sense of always being “on edge” and unable to fully relax.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, offering a reflective and non-judgemental space to explore both current pressures and the underlying emotional patterns that may contribute to stress. Together, we may look at how early relational experiences, attachment patterns, and internal expectations can shape how you respond to demands, boundaries, and self-care.
I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising that chronic stress is often linked not only to external pressures, but also to deeper emotional dynamics such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, or difficulty recognising personal limits. Therapy can support you in understanding these patterns and developing more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.
I also integrate somatic awareness to help you notice how stress is held in the body, such as tension, restlessness, or fatigue, supporting greater regulation and grounding. Psychoeducation may be used to deepen understanding of stress responses, and where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional release and nervous system calming.
Therapy is collaborative and paced according to your needs, helping you develop greater resilience, balance, and capacity to manage life’s demands with more ease and self-compassion.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
An integrative humanistic approach to stress management involves establishing a safe and supportive counselling environment where my clients feel heard and understood, encouraging self-exploration regarding thoughts, feelings and behaviours to gain insight into your stressors, promoting self-compassion, incorporating practices such as mindfulness, meditation and relaxation exercises to address stress. A trauma-informed approach to stress-management also involves creating a safe environment, recognising trauma triggers - identifying and avoiding potential triggers that may exacerbate stress or trauma responses, offering clients choices in your treatment to encourage a sense of control and empowerment, building skills for resilience, teaching you coping skills and strategies to manage stress, ensuring consistent and reliable support throughout the therapeutic process - using mindfulness to help you stay present and reduce stress. Through somatic processing, addressing the physiological effects of stress and trauma on the body. Using CBT techniques to help clients identify and challenge harmful thought patterns and behaviours. Working in an integrative humanistic and trauma-informed way necessitates a deep understanding of my client's individual experiences and a commitment to providing empathic, holistic and empowering care. By combining the strengths of both of these approaches, I support my clients in managing stress and building resilience. This approach addresses both the immediate symptoms of stress and also promotes long-term healing and personal growth.

Rachel Bates
Registered Psychotherapist, M Phil - Counselling & Psychotherapy; M A Psychology
People generally encounter stress from various sources such as work, health, money and relationships but when stress is not balanced with sources of pleasure and relaxation, it may turn into chronic stress which can increase the risk of health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and also a weakened immune system. This can then affect a persons mental health. Research demonstrates a correlation between stress and development of disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Many people encounter stress from multiple sources, including work; money, health, a
relationship worries; and media overload.
With so many sources of stress, it is difficult to find time to relax and disengage. This is why stress is one of the biggest health problems facing people today.
Chronic Stress
Chronic stress increases the risk of developing health problems including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and a weakened immune system. Chronic stress also affects a person’s mental health. Many studies show a correlation between stress and the development of mood disorders such as anxiety disorders and depression.

Delphine Marina Psychotherapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, Diploma Soul Centred Psychotherapy; MA(R.es) Cultural Studies; GradDip IT & Politics; BA(Hons)Human
Stress can show up as tension in the body, racing thoughts, irritability, or a constant sense of pressure that never lets up. It can be linked to work, relationships, health concerns, or feeling like you're carrying more than your share—often without rest or support.
In therapy, we slow down enough to understand what’s fuelling your stress, how it lives in your body, and what it’s trying to tell you. Together, we explore ways to create more space, steadiness, and resilience—so you can respond to life with greater clarity and calm, rather than staying stuck in survival mode.
