Common Causes of Stress and Overwhelm

Several factors can contribute to feelings of stress and being overwhelmed:

• Excessive Responsibilities: Juggling multiple roles and tasks without adequate support can lead to burnout.
• High Expectations: Setting unrealistic goals or striving for perfection can create constant pressure.
• Lack of Control: Facing situations where outcomes are uncertain or beyond one’s control can heighten stress levels.
• Unresolved Emotions: Past traumas or suppressed feelings may resurface during challenging times, intensifying stress.
• Sensory Overload: Constant exposure to noise, notifications, and information can overwhelm the senses.
• Life Transitions: Events like moving, changing jobs, or experiencing loss can disrupt routine and stability.

Understanding these triggers can help in developing strategies to manage stress effectively.

Therapeutic Approaches to Support You

At Islington Therapy House, we offer various therapeutic modalities tailored to individual needs:

• Humanistic Therapy: This approach emphasises personal growth and self-actualisation. Therapists provide a non-judgmental environment, encouraging clients to explore their feelings and take responsibility for their choices.
• Person-Cantered Therapy: Developed by Carl Rogers, this therapy focuses on the individual’s capacity for self-direction. Therapists offer empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence to facilitate personal growth.
• Psychodynamic Therapy: This modality explores unconscious patterns and past experiences influencing current behaviour. By gaining insight into these patterns, clients can work toward resolving internal conflicts.
• Existential Therapy: This approach addresses concerns about meaning, freedom, and responsibility. Therapists help clients confront existential questions and make authentic choices aligned with their values.

Each of these therapies offers unique benefits, and the choice depends on individual preferences and therapeutic goals.
