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.)

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.

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.

How Therapy Can Help with Stress -
We all experience stress—it's a normal part of life. But when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming, it stops being a motivator and starts taking a serious toll on your mental and physical health. If you're feeling constantly on edge, exhausted, or like you're barely keeping your head above water, therapy can help you find your way back to balance.
What Chronic Stress Looks Like
Stress isn't just feeling busy or having a lot on your plate. Chronic stress can show up as:
Constant worry or racing thoughts
Difficulty sleeping or always feeling tired
Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues
Irritability or mood swings
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks
Loss of enjoyment in things you used to love
Using unhealthy coping mechanisms (overworking, overeating, drinking, withdrawing)
When stress becomes your baseline, it's easy to forget what calm actually feels like.
How Therapy Helps
Understanding Your Stress Triggers
Therapy helps you identify what's actually driving your stress. Sometimes it's obvious—work deadlines, financial pressure, relationship problems. Other times, stress comes from deeper sources like perfectionism, fear of failure, unresolved trauma, or difficulty saying no. Understanding the root causes is the first step toward managing them.
Learning Practical Coping Skills
Your therapist can teach you concrete techniques for managing stress in the moment, such as:
Breathing exercises and grounding techniques
Progressive muscle relaxation
Mindfulness and meditation practices
Time management and prioritization strategies
Healthy ways to decompress and recharge
These aren't just abstract ideas—they're tools you can use right away when stress starts building.
Challenging Unhelpful Thought Patterns
Stress often comes with distorted thinking: catastrophizing ("everything's going to fall apart"), all-or-nothing thinking ("I have to be perfect or I'm a failure"), or mind-reading ("everyone thinks I'm incompetent"). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you recognize these patterns and develop more balanced, realistic perspectives that reduce stress.
Setting Boundaries and Saying No
Many people experience chronic stress because they've taken on too much—at work, in relationships, or with family obligations. Therapy helps you examine why you struggle to set limits, practice saying no without guilt, and establish boundaries that protect your wellbeing.
Processing Underlying Issues
Sometimes stress is a symptom of deeper issues—unresolved trauma, unprocessed grief, relationship problems, or major life transitions. Therapy provides space to address these underlying concerns, which can significantly reduce your overall stress levels.
Breaking the Stress Cycle
Stress often creates a vicious cycle: you're stressed, so you sleep poorly, which makes you more irritable, which strains your relationships, which increases your stress. Therapy helps you identify where you can interrupt this cycle and develop healthier patterns.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Stress is a sign your system is working overtime—and it’s asking for support, not more pressure.
When life feels like too much and you’re constantly on edge, it’s often because parts of you are stuck in survival mode. Chronic stress can disconnect you from your body, drain your energy, and leave you feeling like you're just getting through the day. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic tools like TRE to help you understand the deeper layers beneath your stress and bring your nervous system back into balance. Together, we’ll create space for calm, clarity, and resilience—so you can move through life with more ease and intention.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling

Stress often shows up when different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions—one part pushing to keep everything under control, another worrying about what might go wrong, and others feeling worn down by the pressure.

We can get to know these parts with compassion, helping them soften so you can access more calm, clarity, and balance. You don’t have to manage all this on your own—I’m here to support you in finding steadier ground

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.

Anjali P.
Registered Psychotherapist, MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling, Registered Member MBACP- 408062
Stress is often spoken about as though it is simply a time-management problem, but many people find that it runs much deeper. You may feel constantly responsible for others, struggle to switch off, hold yourself to impossibly high standards, or find yourself carrying more than feels manageable. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of losing touch with yourself. Therapy can help you understand the patterns, expectations, and pressures contributing to your stress, while developing more sustainable ways of caring for yourself and responding to life's demands.

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.

Please see any of the other entries. Stress is such a word that sometimes does a lot of heavy lifting in our world. Stress can mean brief experiences of sensory or cognitive overload, or could be an expression of anxiety, other health challenge impacting mental health. It could result from just not having language or a sense of space where one is accepted and can belong available to talk about one's challenge. Generally, if it's not CPTSD related there are lots of great ways to sort through overload and growth with working with inner feelings. If it's CPTSD and DID or other CPTSD based, parts work or other neurodevelopmentally supportive care might help. If it's oppression based or chronic health based, then it may help to share about the situation and find ways that are less taxing, require less masking, etc. to move through a situation or be at peace in it. Stress can sometimes mask grief. Our hegemonic culture has not developed or has even discarded tools for working with grief. So sometimes stress can be indicator that grief work is helpful. Also, a very real factor is disaster capitalism -- giving people a place to be real about that and its multiple devastating impacts is often very helpful. Sometimes it can open up new creative ways of addressing the challenge and finding agency that might have been inaccessible before. Sometimes there is just a need to mourn the challenges with other compassionate folks to feel less alone. Sometimes its about family or cultural conditioning to prove and succeed in an automated way, that discards the realm of emotions that unfortunately can't be stuffed or wedged out forever, as they are a useful gauge for inner and broader conditions when worked with constructively. Stress could be resultant from conditions not listed here, like being an overextended caregiver, etc. or stepping into one's first big art/creative event... If you're feeling stress, please feel free to reach out and ask for help!
