Stress affects our nervous system. Talking to someone about our stress, and about what in our life is causing stress, goes a long way to managing how badly stress impacts us. Eventually as we become more regulated and reflective, mindful strategies can be useful in managing our responses to stress in the settings we experience them. It begins with talking and being listened to.
While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.

For dealing with stress, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of stress and then they are able to take control of their bodies, we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. Stress is a reaction to unpredictability: more structure in your life will make your life more predictable and enjoyable.
Long-term chronic stress is extremely harmful to your physical and mental health. Learning coping tools in counselling would help you manage your stress effectively.
