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.)

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.

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.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Drawing on 11 years in Dubai’s corporate sector, I provide therapy for stress and burnout, tailored to the unique pressures of the corporate lifestyle.
The approach integrates Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) to go beyond traditional talk therapy. They work to resolve states in which we feel demotivated, inability to get work done as well as operating under excessive amount of anxiety, which clouds judgement, which is one's bread and butter in high-stakes environments.

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.

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.

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.

I support clients experiencing stress by helping them identify the sources of overwhelm—whether situational, systemic, or internal—and understand how stress shows up in their bodies, thoughts, and behaviors. The focus is on building emotional regulation skills, developing practical coping strategies, and shifting unhelpful patterns like perfectionism or over-responsibility. Therapy creates space for clients to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect with their values, so they can move through stress with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

Irene Valis
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA certified Gestalt therapist, Counsellor, Life Coach
