FEEl MORE IN CONTROL AFTER FIRST SESSION
Stress
“I saw Lauretta Wilson for increasing stress in my workplace which was effecting my marriage. Within a few sessions she helped me to feel calmer and capable of relaxing even in situations that used to overwhelm me.”
Stress occurs when you feel under too much pressure or overwhelmed: work, home, children, relationships and the added pressures that comes with the extensive use of social media compounds the stress we experience internally. Everyone has their own personal level of stress and this differs depending on your circumstances, background and current mental state. When stress hinders your ability to think and behave in a way that is helpful, it is a signal to seek help.
Contrary to popular belief, stress can be positive. As a positive influence it can drive individuals to perform at their optimum level and boost energy, however as a negative influence stress can lead to adverse physical affects and be detrimental to health.
I can help you to identify the source of your stress and to manage your responses more effectively. I can do this with you within a few sessions and help you to enjoy your life and feel more in control again.

TREATMENT FOR STRESS
Counselling in a positive and solution focused way is an effective treatment for stress. As a registered psychologist and one with years of experience in mental health, I understand the nature and effects of stress and I know how to treat them.
I use a combination of approaches which moves people away from the stressors more quickly than traditional methods would.
As it is not the situation itself that causes stress (or everyone would be stressed by the same situation), but our reaction to the situation. Changing the ideas and feelings about a situation can become more positive and lesson the stress surrounding that situation. When an individual then experiences that situation in real life, their reaction will often be much different.
TREATMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR:
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Tension
- Acute Stress
- Short-Temperedness
- Aggressiveness
- Learning to be patient

Causes of Stress
As each individual deals with stress differently it is hard to identify its exact cause. However, common causes include loss, change, an uncertain future, conflicts with your belief system or life cycle transitions. The brain does not distinguish between real or imagined stress and stress is often created by what we think rather than what has actually happened.
