Coping with stress and management of anxious thoughts and feelings is a challenge for many clients. We examine the ways that stress can affect the physical body and seek direct ways to mitigate these problems, such as breathing retraining and thought distancing. Often, we focus on building a hierarchy of fears and gradual exposure to these fears. We also work on management of physical reactions, such as panic.

We take a tailored approach to helping clients manage their anxiety & stress, wholly dependent on individuals’ needs. This is extremely important as what works for one person may not work for another. As such, elements from many different approaches to therapy may be incorporated to help the client successfully achieve their counselling goals. For example, one therapeutic approach may include elements from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) coupled with emotion-focused work to yield a successful outcome.
