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.

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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults experiencing ongoing stress, including feeling overextended, pressured, or caught in persistent states of alertness and responsibility. Stress often develops as a response to competing demands, long-standing expectations, and internal pressures, rather than as a single problem to be solved.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how stress is organised internally and what responses it triggers over time. Rather than focusing on stress management techniques, sessions centre on understanding the patterns, beliefs, and roles that keep stress in place. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

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.

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.)

Irene Valis
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA certified Gestalt therapist, Counsellor, Life Coach
Stress can be an overwhelming experience where everything feels urgent, too much or not enough. It can play out in relationships, in home life, workplaces, or even in communities and the collective at large; and can have a significant effect on our mind, body, and health.
Stress is a sign our nervous system is going into survival mode, and support is needed to move into taking action and finding solutions.
To do that, we together take a personalised approach to slowing down, identifying your subjective stressors (people, places, patterns), understanding what's happening for you on a nervous system level in response to stress, and then exploring optimal regulation tools and resources tailored for your specific needs - helping you build more capacity and greater resilience for navigating these areas your life.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Stress is not always about having too much to do. Sometimes it comes from carrying too much. Constantly anticipating problems, taking responsibility for everyone else, struggling to say no, or feeling like you have to hold everything together can leave your mind and body in a constant state of tension.
Together, we'll explore the patterns contributing to your stress, strengthen your capacity to regulate emotions, establish healthier boundaries, and develop practical tools that help you respond to life's challenges without becoming overwhelmed. My goal is to help you create a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and aligned with your values, rather than one driven by constant pressure and survival.

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.

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.

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.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
For many women living abroad, stress is not only caused by work, responsibilities or daily pressures.
Sometimes it comes from years of constant adaptation.
Adapting to new countries.
New languages.
New cultural expectations.
New versions of oneself.
Many Italian women abroad become highly skilled at functioning while internally remaining in a subtle but ongoing state of alertness.
Monitoring how they speak.
How they are perceived.
How much space they take up.
How much they need to adapt in order to belong.
Over time, this continuous self-monitoring can place significant strain on the nervous system and body.
Many women begin to experience emotional exhaustion, tension, overwhelm, difficulty relaxing, chronic anxiety or the feeling of always having to “hold everything together”.
My work explores the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns underneath chronic stress, over-functioning and long-term emotional adaptation.
I integrate psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, embodiment, EFT, lifestyle medicine, reflective dialogue and nature-based practices to support women in reconnecting with a greater sense of regulation, authenticity, inner rhythm and emotional ease.
