We help people navigate the stress of increasing uncertainty and insecurity in life.

Are you struggling with anxiety and stress? Talking concerns through with a counsellor can help.

Destabilising forces are becoming more impactful in the lives of many people. The Covid 19 pandemic, extreme weather associated with global warming, threats to livelihoods and standards of living and repercussions from shifts in the world political order are just some of the forces generating tension in our daily lives. Although global in scale these conditions have very real impacts every day.

As the adjustment stresses pile up they can threaten our sense of control and certainty. We are barely catching our breath when another confronting challenge arises. Adjustment to multiple losses has become a daily preoccupation for most people. Fear, anxiety, isolation are understandable reactions to such rapid change.

When life seems out of control and suffering intensifies, a good relationship with yourself restores balance. Learning to value yourself, to be a good friend and ally to yourself, creates more moments of calm. When calm, you make better decisions. You respond, rather than react, to the daily stress of life. Life and relationships improve as you learn to manage your fears.

Clarity to reassess your life in a meaningful way comes from calmness. Reflecting on your values and making lifestyle changes is important. In times of great upheaval, seeking professional support to navigate life can be a very worthwhile investment for your well-being.
