Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
An integrative humanistic approach to stress management involves establishing a safe and supportive counselling environment where my clients feel heard and understood, encouraging self-exploration regarding thoughts, feelings and behaviours to gain insight into your stressors, promoting self-compassion, incorporating practices such as mindfulness, meditation and relaxation exercises to address stress. A trauma-informed approach to stress-management also involves creating a safe environment, recognising trauma triggers - identifying and avoiding potential triggers that may exacerbate stress or trauma responses, offering clients choices in your treatment to encourage a sense of control and empowerment, building skills for resilience, teaching you coping skills and strategies to manage stress, ensuring consistent and reliable support throughout the therapeutic process - using mindfulness to help you stay present and reduce stress. Through somatic processing, addressing the physiological effects of stress and trauma on the body. Using CBT techniques to help clients identify and challenge harmful thought patterns and behaviours. Working in an integrative humanistic and trauma-informed way necessitates a deep understanding of my client's individual experiences and a commitment to providing empathic, holistic and empowering care. By combining the strengths of both of these approaches, I support my clients in managing stress and building resilience. This approach addresses both the immediate symptoms of stress and also promotes long-term healing and personal growth.

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.

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.
