Online Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy for Stress & Overwhelm
Support for ongoing stress, mental overload and feeling like you are constantly switched on.
For when there is always something else to think about, deal with or keep on top of, and it is getting harder to properly switch off.
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes constant, even small things can start to feel harder than they normally would
You may feel mentally busy, physically tense, more emotional or irritable than usual, or simply tired of carrying so much in your head.
Sometimes there is one obvious source of pressure. Other times it is the accumulation of responsibilities, decisions and demands that leaves you feeling overwhelmed.
When ongoing stress and overwhelm start affecting everyday life
You may still be getting everything done while quietly feeling like you are running out of space to think.
You might be:
finding it difficult to relax even when you have time
constantly thinking about what needs to be done next
feeling mentally or emotionally drained
becoming more irritable or reactive
struggling to concentrate or make decisions
finding small problems harder to cope with than usual
feeling guilty when you rest
going to bed tired but finding your mind is still active
feeling responsible for keeping everything together
Sometimes the first sign that stress has become too much is simply noticing that you no longer feel quite like yourself.
Sometimes having time off does not make your mind feel off
You might know that you need to slow down, rest or take better care of yourself, but find that your mind continues running even when the immediate pressure has stopped.
When being busy or alert has become the usual state, switching off can start to feel surprisingly difficult.
Therapy can help you begin changing the patterns that keep you feeling constantly under pressure and create more space for calm, perspective and choice.
Therapy for stress and overwhelm can help you feel calmer and more able to cope
The aim is not to create a life with no pressure. It is to help you feel less consumed by it.
Our work may focus on helping you:
● feel calmer and less mentally overloaded
● switch off more easily
● respond rather than react when things feel difficult
● create healthier boundaries
● reduce overthinking
● feel more confident handling everyday pressures
● make space for rest without guilt
● reconnect with the parts of life that stress has pushed aside
