Stress is a big topic in all parts of the world, but the hectic hustle and bustle of London life can take its toll on the mental health of its inhabitants. That’s no sweeping statement either, as studies published in 2019 showed workers in London have the worst mental health of anyone in the UK. That’s why Bridges Therapy centre are proud and passionate about delivering informed stress counselling in London.
Stress and our Health
Stress often exists alongside other mental health conditions, or as a symptom of a specific condition such as anxiety and depression. Stress in high proportions that are sustained over a long period of time also put our physical health at risk so it is important to empower yourself with coping skills taught to you by trained experts who can help you to learn effective coping mechanisms that will last outside of the session for stress counselling in London. There are many skills that can be used at any time, anywhere in the world.
ACT
Talk therapy is useful for exploring the more vulnerable parts of ourselves a lot of people habitually keep hidden, such as hurt and anger, and this is known as ‘stuffing’ our feelings. Unfortunately, all of that energy gets stored as stress in the body and it needs an outlet. Our team use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to understand why you are feeling stressed and which practical steps you can take to alleviate symptoms of stress from continuing to impact you in disproportionally negative ways.
Some stress might be normal – especially in a thriving capital city, but it shouldn’t last and cause adverse effects upon your physical or mental health. Our goal-oriented stress counselling in London can help.
