A little pressure in our daily lives can prove very productive, helping us concentrate, remain focused and motivated. However, if we are put under high or prolonged pressure this can lead to Stress.

Too much pressure leading to sustained stress can cause both physical and mental health issues. If not addressed this is often viewed as the precursor to (or stepping stones to) Anxiety or indeed Depression.

Chemical changes occur as pressure levels rise, sustained stress leads to the body producing high levels of both Adrenalin and Noradrenalin (fight or flight triggers), along with the over production of Cortisol. The effects of these over produced chemicals can result in a higher heart rate, higher blood pressure, sleep disruption, irregular appetite and digestion problems.

It is important to understand the effects of pressure and stress, the individual triggers and situations causing the stressor response, how thinking styles and behaviour can contribute to stress levels. We can work with you to help you recognise and successfully deal with stressful situations. We can also help you recognise the stress factors in your life and ultimately to reverse or avoid these stress triggers, helping you with tools to effectively counteract the current stressful feelings.
