Welcome to East Lancs HG Counselling and Psychotherapy
We all suffer from stress at times in our lives and, we all have different ways of coping with stressful events that may occur. How we cope can have a huge impact on our emotional and physical health. Its important for us to be aware of any signs of excessive build up of stress in the body.
Physical Signs
Headaches
Muscle tension or pain
Stomach problems
Sweating more than usual
Feeling dizzy
Bowel or bladder problems
Breathlessness
Dry Mouth
Sexual problems
If you have some of the above signs you may be experiencing stress. Studies have told us that the first step in tackling stress is to be aware that it is a problem for you.
The next step is to take back control of the causes and effects of the stress.
How we can help
We will teach you how to relax using various relaxation techniques.
We will support in developing valuable life skills as needed.
We will help you deal effectively with any past traumatic events that may be responsible for your current high levels of stress.
We are all different and so the therapy is tailored to suit the person
