Relieve Your Stress
Many people believe they are coping well when they are actually suppressing their stress or engaging in unhealthy coping strategies.
Everyone experiences some degree of stress throughout their lifetime. Stress typically results from external factors, both negative and positive, that occur in an individual's life. Sometimes stress allows us to function and perform at our best. In contrast, long-term stress can cause physical and psychological impairments that can impact daily functioning and lead to burnout.
Through counselling, you will be able to identify the source of your stress and understand where the source of stress is originating from. Through exploration, you may decide that it is best to eliminate the source of stress altogether. For example, this might mean leaving a toxic work environment.
In some instances, it may not be possible to remove the source of stress. Through our counselling sessions, you can begin to develop coping strategies to help reduce and manage stress in a healthier way.

I work with a variety of people who are experiencing stress in similar situations. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, you can develop a new outlook on your situation. We will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in order to help you regain control of your life, reduce the physical and psychological symptoms and incorporate effective strategies to cope with the stress.
In addition to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we can use mindfulness techniques and self-care practices to help calm your mind and improve your functioning.
