Anxiety and Stress

Anxiety is something that everyone experiences from time to time, however, there can be a point where anxiety is no longer helpful and can instead hinder a person’s quality of life- finding yourself get into a vicious cycle of worrying thoughts and ‘what if’ scenarios, without being able to find answers and solutions. Anxiety can have both physical and psychological symptoms such as difficulty concentrating or sleeping, dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, feelings of restlessness and worry. There are many ways to combat feelings of anxiety and regulate yourself, talking therapy being one of the most effective ways to learn how to deal with it.

Our Practitioners:

“Anxiety and overthinking often go hand in hand. When we feel anxious, our minds can become stuck in constant loops of “what ifs,” replaying past events, analysing conversations, and worrying about what might happen next. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected, not just from yourself, but also from the people around you. Over time, this cycle can affect your sleep, concentration, relationships, and overall sense of well-being.In therapy, we work together to understand where these patterns come from and how they affect your daily life. By exploring the roots of your anxiety and overthinking, we can make sense of your emotional responses and develop healthier ways of managing them. My aim is to create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and gain clarity, helping you feel more grounded and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.” Maria Troupkou, Psychotherapist>

“Anxiety and stress are facts of life. That does not mean that we have to be ruled by these thoughts and feelings, but another fact is that many of us have lives that are dominated by these two states. We can not rid ourselves of anxiety and stress and neither should we, but what each of us has the ability to do is that we can learn about them and how we can deal with them. What has happened in our life experiences that has made us this way and what is happening in our internal dialogue that sustains the feelings of anxiety and stress? All manner of unpleasant things happen to us in these states, not just in our minds but also our bodies. Over time, this can lead to chronic difficulties that adds yet further worries to an already over-stressed system. By assisting you on working towards increased self-knowledge, compassion for self and the motivation to make adjustments we can take very important steps towards alleviating anxiety and making peace with uncertainty.” Dylan Peters, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor >

“Anxiety and stress can manifest in many different ways, impacting our daily life and overall wellbeing. My approach of integrative therapy places an emphasis on developing a safe therapeutic environment where together we can explore how your experience of anxiety and stress is currently impacting you. This may involve gaining a better understanding of what internal and external factors are contributing to your anxiety or stress, and exploring ways to make living with anxiety and stress more manageable, such as: identifying and reframing unhelpful patterns of thought, developing self-understanding and self-compassion, and building self-caring coping strategies to alleviate anxiety and stress. While it may not be possible to rid ourselves of anxiety or stress completely, it is possible to create lasting and meaningful positive changes in our relationship with them.” Marianne Lucas, Integrative Therapist>
