Understanding Stress
Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming and constant, it can take a toll on your mental and physical health. Stress can come from work pressures, family conflict, or financial instability, and long-term stress can lead to anxiety, burnout, and even physical issues like weakened immunity and sleep problems.
At Collaborative Counselling, we provide stress management counselling to help you regain control. Nicky, a qualified counsellor, will work with you to understand the causes of your stress and offer practical ways to manage it.
What Causes Stress?
Stress can come in many shapes and sizes, and it affects everyone differently. For some, work-related pressures such as deadlines, high expectations, or difficult relationships with colleagues or bosses may be the main trigger. For others, stress may come from personal circumstances such as family conflict, caregiving responsibilities, or financial instability. Life changes like moving house, having a baby, or experiencing loss can also contribute to high stress levels.
Whatever the source, unmanaged stress can build up over time, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. Recognising these triggers and understanding how stress impacts you is the first step toward regaining control of your mental well-being.
No matter what triggers your stress, our stress counselling services in Devon will help you manage it.
Why Do We Get Stressed?
Stress is a natural response to challenging situations, but when the body is constantly in a state of “fight or flight,” it can take a toll on overall well-being. Factors such as personality traits, past experiences, and current pressures can contribute to how stress affects you. Whether you’re dealing with sudden life changes or long-term challenges, stress can affect how you think, feel, and behave.
It’s important to understand that stress is not a sign of weakness. It’s a common reaction that many people experience at some point in their lives. Professional stress management therapy and counselling can help you gain perspective and learn techniques to manage your stress before it starts to seriously impact your health and quality of life.
How Counselling Can Help Combat Stress
Stress management counselling provides an opportunity to explore the causes of your stress and develop tools to cope with it more effectively. By using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, We help you challenge negative thought patterns and build resilience to stress. Together, you’ll find ways to improve your work-life balance, adopt relaxation techniques, and change how you respond to stressful situations.
At Collaborative Counselling, we offer tailored strategies that suit your unique challenges. Whether it’s finding a better balance in your work or developing better communication in relationships, you’ll receive the support you need to handle stress long-term.
