We Help With
Stress and Burnout
With the pace of life increasing and less time to relax, stress can be
a major issue in many people's lives. Small amounts of stress for
small amounts of time can help us be more productive and effective in
what we do.
The problems come when stress is experienced over longer periods of
time. Lengthy exposure to stress can cause health problems, lack of
sleep and eventually result in burnout. Learn how to deal with stress
by
working with a counsellor or psychotherapist
and bring back the balance in your life.
Depression
or low mood brings real unhappiness to many individuals at times in
their lives. Depression can be caused by a number of different factors
- from the death of a loved one, becoming a new mum, the break-up of a
relationship or many other reasons.
Working with a counsellor or psychotherapist can help you to
understand the origins of your depression and can give practical
techniques to deal with your feelings (or lack of them) on a day to
day basis. Therapy can bring back hope.
Like stress,
anxiety
in small doses may help you perform better and be more effective.
Longer term anxiety, however, is shown to have an impact on health and
can cause insomnia.
Therapy and counselling can help anxious individuals to manage their
anxiety better and teach them to enjoy the here and now rather than
living in the past or the future.
If you are having or experiencing conflict in your relationship, or
you are not connecting with your partner at all, then take action now
and contact The Affinity Centre. Your therapist will work with you
both to bring the romance back into your relationship and make sure
both of you feel heard and understood.

OCD can have a major impact on the lives of both the sufferer and
their family and friends. There are many different ways in which
OCD and obsessions
can manifest, but it seems universally agreed in therapy circles that
CBT is one of the most effective methods of treatment.
There are several CBT therapists based at The Affinity Centre -
contact us now to make an appointment.
It may be that you are unsure of your sexuality, or you feel sure but
need help and support coming to terms with your sexual identity and
how it fits with other aspects of your life.
The Affinity Centre offers help and support for gender and sexual
minority clients and has professionals trained in this area by
Pink Therapy. Get in touch and let's talk it though so that you
can get support you deserve.
It may seem odd to see jealousy in this list, but
jealousy can do a tremendous amount of damage
to people's lives and cause relationship breakdown and huge amounts of
anxiety and stress.
The good news is that there are ways to tackle and eradicate the issue
by working with a well trained therapist or counsellor. So don't let
jealousy damage your life,
contact the centre now and let's work it
out.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. We also have a nutritionist working at the centre to help you with your diet and wellbeing and hypnotherapists that can help you with breaking bad habits such as smoking or phobias.
