HOW CAN COUNSELLING HELP REDUCE MY STRESS?

Counselling can help an individual to reduce stress. This is done by providing them with both strategies and techniques to manage the physical and emotional symptoms of stress. It can also help to identify and address any underlying psychological and emotional issues that could be contributing to the stress.

In addition, counselling can help an individual develop a better understanding of their stressors. It can provide them with the tools and support they need to make positive changes in their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one common approach to reducing stress which is used in the counselling process. It enables an individual to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours which contribute to their stress. 

Relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing or mindfulness, may also be taught in counselling sessions. These can help an individual to manage their stress ‘in the moment’. Furthermore, counselling can also help individuals to develop better coping mechanisms for dealing with stress, such as time management, goal setting and problem-solving strategies. 

Overall, counselling can provide a supportive and safe environment for individuals to explore and address the cause of their stress and develop effective coping mechanisms to manage it.
