Stress is something we all experience in some form or another and a little bit can be beneficial in our lives, but prolonged periods of stress or stress-related conditions such as PTSD can be extremely bad for our mental and physical health. It can hold individuals back and stop them from functioning their best at home, in relationships and at work, which can make stress worse, thus starting a vicious cycle. Our team of counsellors in London can help people learn to manage stress and related problems and give them back control.
We specialise in helping people to deal with and accept stress, worry and anxiety and to manage any physical symptoms that stem from it through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Stress can be a result of internal and external factors and so our counsellors in London take a holistic approach, examining all contributing factors and ensuring that we tackle any triggers and teach coping mechanisms which can be used to alleviate symptoms and cope with burnout and exhaustion.
Stress can present in many forms as a stand-alone condition, or form part of conditions such as PTSD and panic attacks. Some symptoms of stress are mental, some physical and can include:
- Increased heart rate
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Digestion problems
- Dizziness
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Increasing worry
- Difficulty concentrating
- Panic attacks
- Drinking or smoking more
