Stress and Trauma Psychologists

At Nexus Psychology our experienced psychologists are committed to providing a meaningful connection and supportive environment in which to explore and strengthen both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Life can be demanding and frustrating for most of us, with a lot of hassles to deal with and deadlines to meet everyday. These things can be quite stressful. Despite this, stress isn’t always bad, as it can help you work under pressure and motivate you in times of need. When it is a constant feeling though, that is when it can become harmful. It can have negative affects on your health, mood and quality of life and relationships. People who are suffering from stress tend to find it helpful talking to a psychologist as it can help them manage it, and eventually change their unhealthy behaviours. On the other hand, when one has dealt with situations that are painful and distressing emotionally, and feel as if they cannot cope, then this is what we call trauma. After experiencing trauma, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and disturbed about the event. Also, counselling for trauma can allow you to feel a sense of safety, empowerment and hopefully lead you to continue on with your life.
