Feeling stressed from time to time is normal but this can be heightened during Christmas. Worrying about money, having enough time to do everything, keeping the kids occupied, feeling pressured to be in a party mood, and being surrounded by family for extended periods may cause us to feel stressed and anxious, affecting our mental health.
However, just because stress is common doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try to manage it. If feelings of stress aren’t dealt with, they can pile up and take a toll on our physical and mental health.
Don’t put off getting support if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or on the edge.
Typed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can provide effective strategies for managing your feelings and improving your emotional wellbeing.
Typed therapy takes place online, so you can type with a therapist from the comfort of your sofa and won’t need to travel anywhere. Choose a time convenient for you to type with your therapist.
Before each session, your therapist will check in with how you are, so we can tailor your treatment to be as effective as possible. Between sessions, we’ll ask you to keep a journal and do thinking exercises to help develop positive, long-term habits.
Research shows a little work leads to better recovery and can help keep you feeling well after your therapy sessions have ended.
Our patients tell us typed therapy makes it easier to open up and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a therapist. The additional benefits of typed therapy include:

Felt lighter after my first appointment and there wasn’t the pressure of having to speak to someone or see someone, I was able to take my time and type what I wanted to say which I found helped me express myself more easily.

Brilliant advice and support when I needed it most. I would highly recommend this service, If you are willing to put in effort yourself to practice what you learn using cbt techniques - you will be rewarded with a better understanding of how your thoughts impact your behaviours and emotions.
I was listened to, supported and guided by a professional, empathic and non judgemental therapist. I was not rushed or pushed into doing things I was not ready for e.g activities. I slowly managed to gain some self confidence and self worth which I am still working on. I am now able to slowly move forward after the trauma that took me to utilise this service.
