Therapy for Anxiety & Stress

Experiencing fear and worry is a normal part of the human experience and a protective part of being human. But one of the bravest, most important things you can do is recognise when fear and worry are controlling you. If you’re regularly feeling overwhelmed by stress and struggle to do the things you care about, seeking support can help you move forward in more positive ways.

About this therapy

If you are struggling with anxiety and stress, remember: you’re not alone, you’re in the right place and you can get through this. Together, we’ll help you better understand your experience of anxiety and stress, empowering you with practical strategies to think more constructively and improve your quality of life. 

Our approach

Your experience of stress and anxiety is unique. In our initial assessment, we’ll gather insights into the challenges you’re facing, your personal history and how you see the world. By connecting on a deeper level, we’ll be able to pinpoint the intensity, duration and nature of your concerns and how stress and anxiety are impacting your life. 

By the end of therapy, you’ll gain a better understanding of your anxiety and stress, along with practical strategies to manage symptoms, think more constructively, and improve your overall quality of life.

Integrative healing

Therapy sessions will differ depending on where you are in your journey and your unique needs. It may involve some of the below techniques:

  • Cognitive strategies like cognitive reframing (e.g. finding different ways of thinking) 
  • Behavioural methods like gradual exposure to help with overcoming avoidance
  • Mindfulness and relaxation like progressive muscle relaxation (PMR)
  • Stress management techniques
  • Exercises that promote self-care and self-compassion
  • Relapse prevention and building healthy habits

How we’ll monitor your progress

It’s important to us that you feel like you are moving forward in therapy and healing from your psychological struggles. This is why we make sure that we have conversations about whether the therapy is working for you or not. This process of getting your feedback can help your therapist adjust their approach to meet your needs better.

To keep you moving forward, we’ll use a range of methods to track your progress, such as:

  • Tracking your mood using helpful measures and discussing progress with you
  • Helping you understand the meaning of questionnaires used during the therapy process
  • Ensuring that therapy sessions are supporting you and putting you on a path that serves you
