Stress and Psychotherapy Counselling

Stress sometimes overwhelms us and stops us from relating and functioning in healthy ways. Symptoms of stress include anger, panic attacks, social withdrawal, agitation, self-harm , sex addiction and increased use of drugs and alcohol.  High stress levels can be caused by a variety of life situations including work pressure, difficult relationships, financial difficulties, a loss or bereavement.

Long term exposure to stress can lead to serious physical, as well as mental, health problems. Stress can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Over time, if not treated, stress,  can cause long term depression.

Therapy and counselling can help.

Psychotherapy and counselling can help the individual work through the difficult, or overwhelming, feelings of stress, find the root cause of the problem and find a healthier way forward. Talking to a professional therapist who is non judgmental, discreet and understanding will enable the individual to gain clarity, perspective and relief.

The stress clinic at The Cavendish Psychotherapy Practice, in London’s Harley Street, offers a programme of six focused counselling/therapy sessions where the individual is encouraged to talk about the feelings and symptoms of stress experienced. The therapist will help enable the individual make sense of the difficult feelings and behaviours and help build strategies towards finding a healthier way of living.

The Cavendish Psychotherapy Practice in Central London offers individuals a safe and discreet place to express the overwhelming feelings of stress,   discover the root cause  of the difficulites and find relief from them.
