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)

How Therapy Can Help with Stress -
We all experience stress—it's a normal part of life. But when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming, it stops being a motivator and starts taking a serious toll on your mental and physical health. If you're feeling constantly on edge, exhausted, or like you're barely keeping your head above water, therapy can help you find your way back to balance.
What Chronic Stress Looks Like
Stress isn't just feeling busy or having a lot on your plate. Chronic stress can show up as:
Constant worry or racing thoughts
Difficulty sleeping or always feeling tired
Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues
Irritability or mood swings
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks
Loss of enjoyment in things you used to love
Using unhealthy coping mechanisms (overworking, overeating, drinking, withdrawing)
When stress becomes your baseline, it's easy to forget what calm actually feels like.
How Therapy Helps
Understanding Your Stress Triggers
Therapy helps you identify what's actually driving your stress. Sometimes it's obvious—work deadlines, financial pressure, relationship problems. Other times, stress comes from deeper sources like perfectionism, fear of failure, unresolved trauma, or difficulty saying no. Understanding the root causes is the first step toward managing them.
Learning Practical Coping Skills
Your therapist can teach you concrete techniques for managing stress in the moment, such as:
Breathing exercises and grounding techniques
Progressive muscle relaxation
Mindfulness and meditation practices
Time management and prioritization strategies
Healthy ways to decompress and recharge
These aren't just abstract ideas—they're tools you can use right away when stress starts building.
Challenging Unhelpful Thought Patterns
Stress often comes with distorted thinking: catastrophizing ("everything's going to fall apart"), all-or-nothing thinking ("I have to be perfect or I'm a failure"), or mind-reading ("everyone thinks I'm incompetent"). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you recognize these patterns and develop more balanced, realistic perspectives that reduce stress.
Setting Boundaries and Saying No
Many people experience chronic stress because they've taken on too much—at work, in relationships, or with family obligations. Therapy helps you examine why you struggle to set limits, practice saying no without guilt, and establish boundaries that protect your wellbeing.
Processing Underlying Issues
Sometimes stress is a symptom of deeper issues—unresolved trauma, unprocessed grief, relationship problems, or major life transitions. Therapy provides space to address these underlying concerns, which can significantly reduce your overall stress levels.
Breaking the Stress Cycle
Stress often creates a vicious cycle: you're stressed, so you sleep poorly, which makes you more irritable, which strains your relationships, which increases your stress. Therapy helps you identify where you can interrupt this cycle and develop healthier patterns.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Drawing on 11 years in Dubai’s corporate sector, I provide 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 states in which we feel demotivated, inability to get work done as well as operating under excessive amount of anxiety, which clouds judgement, which is one's bread and butter in high-stakes environments.
