Anxiety:
Usually directly proportional to the level of perceived, or felt, uncertainty in a situation. Can be very tough, making some of the simplest life actions more draining. Counselling
Depression:
Can manifest in many ways, but the two main ones are: as an overwhelming melancholy or bubbling/explosive anger. Churchill called it his “black dog”, and Holly Golightly the “mean reds”, being worse than “the blues”! It can make life heavier than it need be. Is often a symptom of a system that needs care. Counselling
Trauma:
Is a coping mechanism that has gone wrong/is outdated, combined with the knowledge of what horror exists in the world. This often means forging or creating something new and different that is unique to you to emerge: Trauma/PTSD
Stress/Burnout:
Modern work patterns and lifestyles can take a heavy toll on a psychological system that was not designed for it. London can be quite good at exasperating this issue, often with eagerness. Counselling
