Stress

​

Stress can affect anyone. We lead busy lives often juggling home, work, family, even social commitments and these can add pressure to us coping.

​

Stress can feel as if our day to day living is getting too much, trying to hold too much in our heads. We can become overwhelmed with too many thoughts – the result is we become irritable, feel drained, anxious, can't cope, angry. 

​

The downside of stress is we then struggle with our emotional, mental and physical well-being.

​

How can counselling help?

​

Talking to someone who has the experience and ability to listen without judgement who isn't family or a friend can help sort out the overwhelming thought processes that go hand in hand with stress.

​

Counselling gives you time for yourself which may seem the last thing that you have time for but sharing struggles can be a start to having a better life balance by unraveling the continual pressure we heap on ourselves.

​

Take time out for yourself – commit to, perhaps, an hour a week with a counsellor for 6 weeks. Explore what is happening in your life and, together, look at ways of managing it. You don't need to do everything on your own.
