Quick answer
Stress management therapy is counselling that helps you identify what is causing your stress, how it affects your body and mind, and what you can change. A therapist teaches practical skills, such as problem solving, boundary setting, relaxation and mindfulness, and uses cognitive behavioural strategies to ease the pressure you put on yourself.
Some stress is a normal part of life. Ongoing stress without recovery can lead to burnout, anxiety, sleep problems and physical health concerns, so it is worth addressing early.
Is this right for you?
Stress shows up in the body, mood and behaviour. If several of these are familiar, it may be time to get support.
Struggling to switch off from work or responsibilities, even on days off.
Feeling drained, detached or less effective, even after rest.
Headaches, muscle tension, stomach problems or getting sick more often.
Snapping at loved ones or feeling impatient and overwhelmed by small things.
Trouble falling or staying asleep because your mind keeps racing.
Relying more on alcohol, food, screens or overworking to get through.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and see if we are the right fit. No referral is needed.
