Stress Management and Emotional Regulation

Emotional regulation is the ability to experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them: to recognise them, understand them and respond in a way that helps you. It is a skill that can be learned — at any age.

When this therapy can help

• your emotions feel too strong or unbearable
• you react with anger or impulsively and regret it afterwards
• rapid mood changes exhaust you and those close to you
• stress at work or in the family is overwhelming you
• you find it hard to calm down after a conflict
• you use ways of coping that harm you

How we work

After an initial assessment, we work together using evidence-based methods:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness and relationships
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): understanding and changing the thoughts and behaviours that increase stress
• Mindfulness: non-judgemental attention to the present moment
• Relaxation and breathing techniques to reduce tension quickly
• A personal plan for the situations that cause you the most stress

The goal is not to stop feeling emotions, but for emotions to stop running your life.

What you can expect

• a clearer understanding of what you feel and why
• practical tools you can use every day
• calmer reactions in difficult situations
• more stable relationships
• more confidence in yourself
