STRESS

Stress is the body’s way of dealing with what it perceives as a threat. The body doesn’t distinguish between emotional threats and physical threats so it will react just as strongly to an emotional threat, like a bill you need to pay, as it would to a physical threat like someone attacking you. Dealing with stress without finding the root cause could be detrimental to health.

ANXIETY

Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear, commonly about things that have yet to happen. It becomes a problem when it impacts the way you go about your daily life. One way anxiety may present itself is through shortness of breath. Counselling therapy could help you unfold the initial sensitising events that lead to the problem.

WEIGHT

We all have food cravings, but when we are dealing with stressors, we may begin to consume food in an unhealthy manner. Counselling therapy can help you take control of your cravings, and help you to challenge the self defeating behaviours and mindset that lead to unhealthy eating patterns.

SCHOOL COUNSELLING

Children and young people are extremely vulnerable to mental health issues unlike adults who have the ability to identify it and seek help. According to Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 10 school Children aged 5 to 16 years are affected by mental health issues like depression, self-harm, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, low self-esteem, feeling sad or lonely, Bullying and Abuse.

My Counselling therapy could offer therapy sessions to support distressed school children by allowing them the opportunity to explore their problems in a safe environment.

INSOMNIA

Sleep is vital to our functioning as human beings, and as we know lack of sleep can lead to physical illness and increase your risk of heart disease. If you suspect you are suffering from insomnia it is important to speak to your healthcare provider to rule out any health problems that may be causing your insomnia. Counselling therapy will help to look into the root cause of this problem and help you alleviate any potential risk to your sleeping habits.
