Stress, along with related challenges like anxiety and worry, has become one of the primary reasons people seek help in my practice. The causes of stress are often linked to work pressures, relationship issues, or significant life changes. Global events, such as the Covid pandemic and the War in Ukraine, have also contributed to feelings of insecurity and heightened stress.
Chronic stress can have serious consequences for both your mental and physical health. That’s why it’s important to address these issues if you find yourself experiencing prolonged stress over weeks or even months.
Reducing stress, worry, and perfectionism requires a holistic approach that addresses both mental and physical well-being. It may also involve making fundamental changes in your life. This could include a combination of cognitive strategies, physical exercises, mindfulness practices, self-compassion, and social activities. When applied consistently, these techniques can help shift your focus from striving for perfection to embracing progress, self-acceptance, and balance.
In therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to analyze and deeply understand your situation. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to guide you toward a more relaxed mindset and lifestyle. I will support you every step of the way, helping you stay on track and accountable for the changes you make. Through this process, you’ll learn to manage stress more effectively and protect yourself from overwhelming situations in the future.
I offer support in English, German and Latvian. If you are considering therapy or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
