Anxiety & Stress Therapy

We offer several different types of stress and anxiety therapy in Southend at The Body Matters. Stress therapy treatments are available from our clinic based in Leigh-on-Sea. We also offer telephone & online counselling and remote consultations.

It would seem that stress and anxiety are an unavoidable part of everyday life but it does not mean they have to rule your life. There are a variety of techniques available to help you manage or overcome the physical, emotional or psychological symptoms experienced with stress and anxiety.

Some people might say that there is a time and place where a certain amount of stress is a good thing, but there are times when it can be too much, and the feelings or symptoms are too overwhelming.  

Stress can affect people in different ways; these are some conditions that can be brought on by stress:

  • Headaches
  • High susceptibility to colds, flu and illness
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Hair loss
  • Obesity
  • Feelings of being unable to cope
  • Heart Disease
  • And there are many more... 

A combination of diet, exercise, and relaxation techniques can change how your body reacts to stress and anxiety.  At The Body Matters, we offer the following to help overcome the symptoms and in most cases the cause of stress.


Anxiety & Stress Therapies at The Body Matters

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy has been used for many years to help reduce stress levels, and there are a variety of techniques used to help.  

One technique will promote a permanent change to a reaction to stress. This technique can be quite challenging but is extremely rewarding especially when the changes are obvious to see. And there are other techniques that can be taught so the client can practise at home. There are a number of other techniques in between… the therapist and client work together to discuss the best options available.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can help you discuss feelings you have about yourself and other people. You will be listened to, very carefully. Most people report that they feel heard for the first time. Within the first session, you should feel like you are lighter and brighter because someone, at last, understands what you are feeling.

Massage

It has been proven that a massage is a great stress buster. Sometimes it only takes one session to alleviate pain and relax your stressed and tired out muscles. Massage will give you more energy and can help reduce fatigue and can even improve your memory! 

All of The Body Matters massage therapists are full-time massage therapists and know precisely where our clients hold tension in their body, we can feel it in our client's body as we work and instinctively know the areas to work on and the correct pressure to apply.

Meditation 

Historically meditation has been used to aid treatment of a number of conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia etc.

It has been shown to rest the mind, it can have a dramatic effect on brain activity, promoting relaxation of the body’s nervous system.  This, in turn, will alleviate stress and anxiety, as well as having the effect of reducing blood pressure.

Feldenkrais

The Feldenkrais Method is named after its founder, Dr Moshe Feldenkrais. He realised the vital importance of working with the whole self in order to achieve lasting improvement, recognising the essential inseparability of mind and body, and eventually gave up his career as a distinguished scientist to devote himself to his pioneering somatic work.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing has shown particularly effective in the treatment of shock trauma (sudden events that changed us from a well-functioning human being to being unable to cope.) and symptoms of PTSD.  However, it also is very effective in the treatment of developmental trauma (difficult events that happened during childhood that still affect the person in adult life).
