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.

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.

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.
