Stress
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.

Tamzin Brain @HypnoChange4U
Counsellor/Therapist, Ad.Dip.CP, DipHyp CS, Dip CP, MNCS (Acc), MHS, Counselling Cert, CACHE3, B.A. Honours Degree PsyCrim
“When I first visited Tamzin for hypnotherapy every day at work was really stressful for me. I felt anxious and on edge most of the time, as if I couldn't get things done fast enough or meet my deadlines no matter how hard I tried! Since the sessions with Tamzin I have found it much easier to put things in perspective, relax and leave things work-related at work when I come home at the end of the day. Her advice and supplementary techniques for dealing with stressful situations when they arise have also been invaluable. Thank you Tamzin!" (Amelia Blackmoore)

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!

Cheltenham is a Gloucestershire spa town known for its Regency architecture, the Cheltenham Festival horse racing meeting, a major literary festival, and as the home of GCHQ—the British intelligence and signals agency that employs thousands of highly vetted specialists in the area. The presence of GCHQ creates a distinctive and largely invisible mental health dynamic, as intelligence professionals face security restrictions that limit what they can discuss in therapy, and the stress of classified work and high-security employment creates specific confidentiality considerations for practitioners. Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the relatively affluent Cheltenham population. Common therapy concerns include high-security employment stress and confidentiality challenges, anxiety and relationship difficulties in a professional community under significant institutional pressure, and the more general concerns of an affluent market town with a strong sense of its own identity.
