Anxiety, Stress and Burnout

We offer counselling and psychotherapy in Upper Rissington, Bloxham and Online.

​

Anxiety, stress and burnout can affect almost every part of life. You may find yourself constantly worrying, overthinking situations, feeling unable to switch off or putting increasing pressure on yourself just to keep going. Over time, this can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, disconnected or unlike yourself.

We understand that anxiety and stress do not always have one obvious cause. They can develop gradually through work pressures, relationships, family responsibilities, difficult life experiences or patterns of coping that may once have been helpful but now feel overwhelming.

Our approach is supportive, practical and tailored to you. We will work with you to understand what may be driving your anxiety or stress, recognise the patterns that keep it going and explore healthier ways of responding to difficult thoughts, feelings and situations.

For some people, this may involve understanding perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism or the pressure to always cope. For others, therapy may focus on boundaries, confidence, relationships, past experiences or finding ways to feel calmer and more in control.

Burnout can often be a sign that something needs to change rather than simply something to push through. Therapy offers space to stop, reflect and consider what your mind and body may have been trying to tell you.

We aim to help you understand yourself more clearly, reduce the sense of being overwhelmed and develop changes that feel realistic, meaningful and sustainable.
