Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
Dealing with stress can feel overwhelming, terrifying and isolating. Often we feel out of control and like everything is spiralling. Working together in a safe non-judgemental space we can identify what is causing the stress and the effect it is having on you. We can find strategies that work for you as well as looking for root causes and ways to set boundaries to change your situation quickly.

Let's see if we can figure out what that might be. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Nicola Woods
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, UKCP, EMDR
Stress manifests in many forms, either physically or emotionally, and can be detrimental to both our mental and physical health. We will work together to bring awareness to what is causing stress, looking at both internal factors – such as patterns of thought and behaviours – and external factors – such as work and financial. We will also develop strategies to help reduce stress and anxiety on a day-to-day basis.

Counselling clients with stress, it helps the clients to explore and undulating is causing their stress. As a Counsellor I would work with the clients together to find some specific solutions that will help them to combat it.

Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Chronic stress is the nervous system stuck in activation with nowhere to discharge. When the body has been running on high alert for long enough, it stops feeling like stress and starts feeling like personality - like just the way you are. Somatic work creates the conditions for the nervous system to finally down-regulate: not through relaxation techniques, but through completing the physiological cycles that chronic stress interrupts.

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.

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.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Drawing on 11 years in Dubai’s corporate sector, I provide culturally sensitive 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 'stuck' physiological states such as anxiety and the fog of being on auto-pilot that are common in high-stakes environments. By addressing the 'wired but tired' state at a nervous system level, we facilitate a transition from chronic survival mode back into balance.

Ulrike Nau-Debor
Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
It is so easy to feel stressed in this world: we are constantly busy and focused on something because we are so attuned to external cues about whether or not we are safe.
In my view, we develop stress due to our limiting belief systems. For example, we might assume that being busy equates to being successful, leading us to overwork to feel secure. We might believe we should be superwomen or supermen and, therefore, never ask for help, continually adding more to our lives. We may not believe we are good enough and, in striving for perfection, create significant stress for ourselves. These are just a few examples. Another reason we can become burnt out is if we lack compassion for ourselves and, as a result, don't take proper care of our well-being.
If you choose to work with me, we will explore the beliefs that create stress for you and help you overcome them. Together, we will learn new ways of being that invite ease and joy back into your life.

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.

London's scale, pace, and cost of living create a high-pressure environment where therapists are in strong demand for burnout, anxiety, work-life imbalance, and the social isolation that can accompany life in a global megacity. The city's extraordinary diversity means therapists with cross-cultural competence and multilingual capability are particularly sought after, especially for communities navigating immigration stress, identity, and belonging. The NHS offers mental health services through its IAPT programme, though many Londoners seek private therapy for greater continuity of care and therapist choice. London's therapy community is one of the largest and most professionally diverse in the world, with practitioners trained across psychodynamic, CBT, integrative, and humanistic traditions.
