Stress and Mind-Body Health
Practical support for stress, tension and the way they show up in the body.
Understanding stress and mind-body health
Stress is a normal response, but when it is constant it can affect sleep, digestion, mood, blood pressure and energy. Mind-body approaches help you notice what is happening and respond differently. They work alongside mental health care, not in place of it.
What people often come to us about
- Ongoing work, family or financial pressure
- Tension, headaches or a tight chest when stressed
- Trouble switching off, or feeling constantly tired
- Wanting simple tools you can use at home
How we may support you
- Identifying the main sources of stress in your life
- Ordering laboratory tests where they are needed, and reviewing results you already have
- Breathing, relaxation and awareness practices you can repeat at home
- Practical changes to routine, rest and recovery
- Regular check-ins to adjust your plan
When we refer you
We work on stress and its effects on your body with practical, repeatable tools. If you are struggling to cope with daily life, or low mood and anxiety are severe or lasting, we will tell you plainly and refer you to a mental health professional.
- Thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life. Please contact a doctor, a mental health professional or someone you trust today, or go to the nearest hospital emergency department
- Feeling unable to cope or to carry out daily life
