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.

Alison Edwards CBT 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.

Julie Jenner
Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Stress comes in so many forms and once it kicks off, near everything can then become stressful. We can assume that we are generally stressed, that everything is going wrong and that it is just how life is. Once you start breaking down what is causing you stress you might find that not all of it is yours, and not all of it is necessary. We juggle so much in life, then we take on other people's worries, add everyday stuff going on in the world, and before you know it you are drowning in it. Counselling can help you break it down, work out how much of it is not needed, and can offer strategies for when life is feeling big or heavy. You might not even be able to imagine what that looks like right now. You might not even believe it is possible. If this is the case, what have you got to lose by trying? You just might surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
