Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
The therapeutic aim is to identify obstacles between clients's current state and where they want to be. Strategies involve frustration and distress tolerance, skills development and cognitive behavioural strategies.
My work focuses upon an holistic view of the individual and their history. This means our focus is less upon individual 'symptoms' and alleviation of these, and more upon what the 'symptom' might be communicating about imbalance in the individual. This leads on to an examination as to what needs to change at the level of body, mind, emotion and spirit.
Stress can be helpful in small, manageable doses, but in large quantities and qualities it can be quite detrimental to our overall health. Stress can come from us internally or from our external world, oftentimes it's from both. I work collaboratively with clients to help them to explore and unpack the stress they experience in their lives, working with them to find strategies to manage stress and learn from the accompanying emotions of stress.
Stress is a common and normal physical response to challenging or new situations.
Everyone experiences stress differently.
Stress can be a positive reaction when it helps to overcome challenges and motivate you.
Stress becomes problematic when it makes you feel overwhelmed or continues for a long time however with the right relaxation techniques or professional help, the negative, long-term effects of stress can be prevented
