Feeling Stressed or Anxious Lately?
If you’ve been feeling tense, snappy, tearful or simply tired of feeling tired, you’re not alone. Many women I speak to say they feel like they’re spinning plates — caring for ageing parents, supporting teenage or grown-up children, keeping up with work or home life — all while trying to hold everything together.
And somewhere in all of that, there’s very little time for you.
“Why do I feel anxious when nothing’s really wrong?”
Anxiety doesn’t always need a big reason. Sometimes, it’s the build-up of small things — the constant pressure to be “on it”, the worry about everyone else, the interrupted sleep, the quiet exhaustion. Over time, your body starts to forget what calm feels like.
Through counselling or hypnotherapy, you can learn to gently switch off that stress response and find your sense of balance again.
Why can’t I sleep properly anymore?”
You’re not imagining it — many women notice that as life gets busier (and hormones change), sleep becomes lighter or more broken. The mind can’t switch off, the body stays tense, and even when you do rest, it doesn’t feel restful.
Talking Therapy can help you understand what’s really driving that restlessness and teach you ways to quiet the mind before bed — so you can actually unwind.
“Why am I more emotional lately?”
When you’re constantly managing other people’s needs, emotions can build up without you even realising. It’s only when you stop — even briefly — that they surface. That might look like sudden tears, irritability, or feeling overwhelmed by small things.
Talking about how you feel in a safe, supportive space can be incredibly freeing. You don’t have to hold it all in. Sometimes, being heard — really heard — is enough to help you breathe again.
“Why do I feel guilty for taking time for myself?”
This one comes up so often. Many women have been conditioned to care for others first. But self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Through therapy, you can explore where that guilt comes from and begin to make small changes that put you back near the top of your own list of priorities.
“What can I do to start feeling better?”
It starts with one small step — talking.
You don’t need to have all the answers or even know exactly what’s wrong. Just sharing how you feel can be the start of understanding, healing, and taking back control.
Talking therapies can both help you slow your thoughts, ease tension, and reconnect with yourself again. In fact, just taking the decision to take time out to care for you is such a big step in the right direction to re-discovering you!
🌿 A Gentle Reminder
Feeling stressed or anxious doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’ve been doing too much, for too long, without the space to recover.
You deserve that space.
