Stress

When stress has gone on too long.

A move to Jakarta, a new role, caring for a parent, a separation, an illness in the family. We'll look with you at what is weighing on you, and what would ease it.

When stress needs care

Stress is the body and mind responding to pressure, and some of it is part of ordinary life. It becomes a reason to see someone when it lasts for weeks, when it starts to affect sleep, health, work or relationships, or when a life change is harder to adjust to than expected.

Clinicians call that last pattern an adjustment disorder. It is common, and it responds well to short, focused therapy.

How we work with it

  • A first consultation about what's been happening, your health, your sleep and the support around you.
  • Screening for anxiety, depression and sleep problems, which often build up under long periods of stress.
  • Therapy with a clinical psychologist, such as CBT or ACT, usually over a short course of sessions: practical ways to manage pressure, solve the problems that can be solved and live with the ones that cannot.
  • If sleep has been affected for a long time, an assessment by our sleep medicine team.

Questions

How is stress different from anxiety?

Stress is a response to a pressure you can usually name, and it tends to ease when the pressure does. Anxiety can continue without a clear cause or long after the pressure has gone. The first consultation looks at both.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on what brings you in. You can customize your course of treatment with your clinician, and you'll know the number of sessions and the cost before you begin.
