Therapy for stress

Regain control over stress

Stress doesn’t have to run your life.
Let’s work on finding balance.

What anxiety feels like

Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can take a toll on your mind and body. You might notice:

  • Feeling constantly exhausted, tense, or unable to unwind

  • Struggling to focus, stay motivated, or think clearly

  • Reacting strongly to small things or feeling emotionally on edge

  • Difficulty sleeping or waking up already drained

  • Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or digestive issues

You don’t have to keep pushing through.

It’s okay to take a step back and get support.

How therapy can help

When stress builds up, it can be hard to know where to start. Therapy helps by:

Understanding what’s driving your stress: identifying patterns, pressures, and emotional triggers.

Developing practical coping strategies: learning techniques to manage stress in the moment.

Setting boundaries without guilt: saying no without feeling like you’re letting people down.

Finding a better work-life balance: making space for rest and recovery.

Why work with me?

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve helped people manage stress, prevent burnout, and feel more in control of their lives. My approach is:

Supportive: a space to talk things through without pressure or judgment.

Practical: tools you can use in daily life, not just in therapy.

Tailored to you: strategies that fit your life, job, and responsibilities.

LGBTQI+ friendly: an inclusive, welcoming space.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about coping with stress and how we might work together.

How long is each therapy session?

Each session lasts 50 minutes. It’s a dedicated space to slow down, talk things through, and begin to feel more grounded.

What if I’ve never done therapy before?

That’s completely okay. Many people come to therapy for the first time when stress starts to feel unmanageable. I’ll guide you through it step by step.

Do you offer online therapy sessions?

Yes — online sessions are available if you prefer the comfort and flexibility of talking from home. The support is the same, just in a format that suits you.

What happens in the first session?

We’ll talk about what’s been going on and what you’re hoping to get from therapy. There’s no pressure — you can go at your own pace.

How can therapy help with stress?

Therapy can help you understand what’s causing your stress, how it’s affecting you, and how to manage it with healthier tools and strategies.

What kind of stress can therapy help with?

Whether it’s work-related stress, family pressure, burnout, or general overwhelm — therapy provides a space to untangle it and regain balance.

What if I’m too busy or overwhelmed to start therapy?

That’s a common feeling when stress builds up. Starting therapy might feel like another task — but it can also be the first step in feeling more in control.

That depends on your situation, but even a few sessions can help you feel more supported and equipped. We’ll check in regularly on how things are going.
