Stress Therapy in Bromley

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin or like you’re running on fumes?

Stress can build slowly until you no longer feel like yourself , quicker to anger, less patient, tired, foggy, disconnected or simply “done”.

Often people tell me:

“I’m holding everything together, but it’s taking more out of me than anyone realises.”

I’m Mark, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor in Bromley, and I specialise in helping adults manage stress, overwhelm and pressure.

How Stress Might Be Affecting You

You may recognise:

Feeling constantly tense, wired or exhausted
Mind racing at night or waking up too early
Feeling overwhelmed by small tasks
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Becoming snappy, withdrawn or shut down
Feeling like you’re carrying too much alone
Struggling to relax even when you try
Feeling numb, flat or emotionally drained

These are signs that your system is overloaded, not signs of weakness.

Why Stress Builds Up

Stress often grows quietly over time.

You may be juggling work, family, relationships, health, or caring responsibilities.
You may be the one others rely on.
You may feel like you “should” be coping better.

But everyone has limits and counselling gives you space to breathe, reflect and reset.

How Counselling Helps with Stress

Therapy can help you:

Understand why you feel so overwhelmed
Identify what’s draining your energy
Explore emotional pressures you’ve held inside
Build boundaries without feeling guilty
Slow down patterns of overthinking
