Feeling overwhelmed by work?
You’re not alone.

Long hours, constant pressure, emotional exhaustion, and the sense that switching off is impossible are common signs of work-related stress and burnout.

Therapy can help you:
• Understand what’s driving the stress
• Set healthier boundaries at work
• Manage anxiety, low mood, and exhaustion
• Rebuild energy, confidence, and balance
• Learn practical tools to cope day-to-day

Support isn’t about “pushing through” — it’s about learning how to protect your wellbeing while navigating real-world demands.

If work is taking more than it’s giving, help is available.

📍 CBT therapy
💬 Confidential, supportive space
🌱 Focused on stress, burnout & balance

🍳 Cooking & eating
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family & friends
🌳 Being in nature & watching sunsets (I’m happiest near trees or water)
✨ Looking at the night sky and wondering about everything… 💭

This makes me both happy and sad. I’m happy we’re approaching autumn, but at the same time I’m sad we’re leaving behind summer.

I love early nights, cosy clothes, and snuggling up — but I also love the lighter evenings, the longer days, and not being cold! (Raynaulds sufferer here 😭)

This is a good reminder that we can experience opposite emotions at the same time. Our feelings are rarely black and white, and it’s completely normal to hold mixed emotions.

In CBT, we often focus on noticing and accepting these emotions rather than judging them. When we allow space for all our feelings, it helps us respond in a kinder, more balanced way. 💛

Are you looking forward to the ‘ber months?

🧠 Improves focus and mental clarity
😌 Encourages mindfulness and calm
💤 Supports better sleep with natural light
❤️ Promotes physical health through gentle activity
📵 Offers a break from screens and daily pressure
Is Sunday your day to get out and enjoy nature?
