John Castleford
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.

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.

Claudia Behnke
Registered Psychotherapist, Ma (Psych), PGDip Psychosynthesis Psychology, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, UKCP accredited
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.

Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes excessive or prolonged, it can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. Stress can manifest in various ways such as difficulty sleeping, headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals manage stress and improve their overall well-being. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) which have been proven to be effective in treating stress.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their stress. MBSR, on the other hand, is a form of therapy that combines mindfulness techniques such as meditation and yoga to help individuals reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your stress and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building stress coping skills, increasing resilience and promoting self-care.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of stress, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.
