Support with work stress and anxiety

When your job asks a great deal of you, pressure can become so familiar that you stop noticing how much it affects you. You may still meet deadlines and look composed while spending most of the day feeling tense.

At CityCalm Therapy, you can talk about the experience behind that outward appearance and consider what you need.

When your mind stays at work

You might rehearse tomorrow’s meeting during dinner, check emails before bed or replay a small mistake for days. The next promotion or finished project brings little relief because another worry quickly takes its place.

The pressure may involve workload, criticism, conflict, uncertainty, perfectionism or a persistent feeling that you will be found wanting. We can explore the circumstances that keep your mind on alert.

More than getting through the next week

Our conversations can make room for the expectations you place on yourself, the limits you find difficult to set and what you fear might happen if you slow down. We can explore ways to respond when worry starts to take over.

Hypnotherapy may form part of this work, including agreed relaxation and imagery exercises. We will discuss how it fits your needs and review your experience.

Life outside the office matters

You may feel less present with people you care about, more easily irritated or unable to enjoy time off. Those experiences matter, even if your performance at work has not changed.

If alcohol or drug use is worrying you, you can raise it during the consultation. We will consider appropriate support, including specialist help where needed. CityCalm does not offer detoxification or medical addiction treatment.
