Understand the layers of Stress and Develop Stress Resilience
Don’t let Trauma, Stress and Anxiety holding you back
at work, at home, anywhere
Are trauma, stress and anxiety
holding you back?
Are they interfering with:
- Work, to the point that you feel it is starting to affect you performance?
- Family, to a degree that it is interfering with your ability to connect with your loved ones?
- Interpersonal relationship, in a way that you withdrawing from others?
- Quality of life, that you are starting to feel overwhelmed and hopeless about the future?
Not everyone is aware that there can be an interplay between past trauma, stress and anxiety. When we find ourselves caught up in the trauma/stress loop, we can end up feeling like nothing we try works, no matter how hard we try. And daily life can become overwhelming.
But it does not have to be this way. With years of experience and expertise in this field, we can help you break away from old patterns and find a new balance.
Let us help you.

NEW PROGRAMME!!!
TRAUMA, WORK STRESS AND BURNOUT PROGRAMME
A structured step-by-step Programme based on a combined approach of ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desentisization Reprocessing) and CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy).
Research shows that the way we respond to stressful events can be rooted in past trauma and that this can be re-triggered when we face new challenging situations. When this happens, our emotional reactions can feel disproportionate and the coping strategies we employ unhelpful, leading to increased stress and burnt out.
This is due to the way our autonomic nervous system (ANS) works, always looking for external cues of threat or safety so to keep us safe. But trauma and chronic stress can impact on the normal functioning of our ANS.
But it does not have to be this way. Let’s restore and re-train our nervous system to a healthy self-regulation.
