Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy, Managing emotions, Oxford Circus

Difficult to understand or manage your emotions? You just need to learn how. How Does Therapy Work?

Counselling and psychotherapy – or talking therapy [1]– are about building on a positive relationship with your therapist or counsellor, a springboard helping you make sense and manage your struggles. They’re also about learning tools and coping strategies to deal with your difficulties and move on towards the life you want.

No one-size-fits-all. We are all different and thus therapy is a very personal and subjective experience. We specialise in a range of evidence-based therapy and counselling options, from short/medium term CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to mindfulness, schema and compassion-focused, and from person-centred to psychodynamic approaches. We are trained to work with individuals, couples and families and adapt therapy to tailor it around your unique needs and desires.

How to Manage Return-to-Work Anxiety after the Pandemic

Return-to-Work Anxiety is clearly on people’s minds as they navigate the remainder of the pandemic. In many parts of the world, conditions have been improving. But variants are adding more uncertainty as we move into the fall and winter months. Return-to-Work anxiety may still be part of the picture for a while. After over a year of working remotely, it’s become the new normal for some workers. But some companies are planning to return many if not all employees back to their offices.

Feeling anxious is a reasonable reaction when facing major change and uncertainty. Being proactive can help you avoid and manage any anxiety you may feel with this transition. With regular mental health breaks and taking it slow, you and your coworkers can support each other. Take your time as you figure out what normal means to you.
