Stress Management

Stress is the body’s response to change. Because life involves constant change – ranging from everyday routine changes such as traveling to your place of work to adapting to major life changes such as marriage, divorce, or death of a loved one. Maintaining a balance and managing stress can be challenging. It is important to recognize the degree to which we are affected by stress in order to deal with it effectively.

Our Stress Management Module, based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Mindful Based Therapy, will equip you to handle stress through strategies such as Effective Time Management, Healthy Coping Styles, Problem Solving skills, Practical Goal Setting ,Relaxation Techniques for a healthy and balanced Lifestyle.

Anxiety Management

Anxiety is the feeling of fear or apprehension about the future. Those with anxiety are unable to stop or control worrying, they are restless, nervous, and have trouble relaxing. Other symptoms include increased heartbeat, difficulty in concentration and disturbed sleep. 

Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), we help with management of anxiety using techniques to challenge the dysfunctional negative thoughts and teach behavioural strategies such as Relaxation Methods to overcome anxiety.

Management of Social Anxiety 

Social anxiety is the fear of negative evaluation, criticism, or rejection by others during social interactions. Management of social anxiety is essential to help individuals enhance their social skills and build confidence in order to be effective in various social relationships and situations.

 In our Social Anxiety Management module, we focus on the individual’s improvement using cognitive techniques (to identify and challenge the anxious thoughts) and behavioural techniques such as Relaxation exercises, Graded Exposure, Modelling and Group interventions leading to an improvement in social skills and social adjustment.

Assertiveness Training

Assertive behaviour is standing up for your own, or others’ rights, in a calm and positive way without being aggressive or passively accepting the ‘wrong’ you perceive. Assertiveness skills training involves learning this socially appropriate, interpersonal behaviour on how to express thoughts and feelings in a direct, honest and appropriate way, thereby leading to your wellbeing.

We achieve this through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy involving techniques such as Relaxation methods, Role-play, Communication Skills Training and Group interventions.

Mindful Eating

How common and effortless it is to eat in an uncontrolled, unaware, mindless manner! If you’ve ever continued to snack despite being full, cut calories despite being hungry, or allow emotions to guide eating, you’ve experienced mindless eating first-hand. The opposite, Mindful eating, is to eat more consciously so you can consume just enough to be satisfied – without eating too much or too little, while learning to eat the things you love in a sensible way. It’s about breaking old, mindless eating habits and carefully gauging your appetite to eat just when you are hungry and to stop when you are satisfied. This is a skill that helps you to get to – and maintain – a healthy weight.

Our Mindful Eating Module uses Mindfulness Based therapy to teach you various skills which will end mindless eating, improve eating habits and enable a balanced relationship with food.

Sleep Management

Sleep is essential to our physical and mental wellbeing. But despite its importance, a troubling percentage of people find themselves regularly deprived of quality sleep and are notably sleepy during the day. Most people experience insomnia (sleeplessness) – having trouble falling asleep, having trouble getting back to sleep, waking up prematurely or experiencing poor quality sleep – at some point in their lives. Sleep deprivation involves problems with the quality, timing and duration of sleep, resulting in daytime distress and impairment in daily functioning.

Our Sleep Management Module uses techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to deal with the unhelpful thoughts, emotions and behaviours that underlie problems with sleep. We help you modify maladaptive habits and follow Sleep hygiene tips to significantly improve your sleeping routine.

Anger management

Failing to manage anger can lead to a variety of problems: saying things you regret, yelling at your kids, threatening co-workers, sending harsh emails, developing health problems, or even resorting to physical violence. However, not all anger issues are serious: your anger might involve wasting time thinking about upsetting events, getting frustrated in traffic, or venting about work more often than is necessary Managing your anger doesn’t mean never getting angry. Instead, our Anger Management module, using Cognitive behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness Based Therapy, helps you recognise negative anger triggering thoughts and situations and learn to modify them. We teach you relaxation methods and coping skills to manage and express anger in an acceptable way so as to limit the negative effects on your wellbeing.

Internet Addiction Management

Internet addiction is a behavioural addiction in which a person becomes excessively dependent on the use of the internet as a maladaptive way of coping with life’s stressors. The most prevalent forms of Internet Addiction include Video game addiction, cybersex or online sex addiction, online gambling addiction, uncontrollable use and irresistible preoccupation with the use of gadgets, smartphones, and addiction to social networking sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Internet addiction can have devastating effects on the individual’s wellbeing and social and occupational areas of functioning with a considerable neglect of real-life duties, relationships and problems. Getting help may be challenging but can make a huge difference in your quality of life.

We do understand the importance and productive use of internet and gadgets in our work, education and leisure. Hence, we provide a personalised treatment plan based on the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy model which embraces controlled use of the internet and gadgets, leading to a balanced lifestyle.

Academic Stress Management

Stress is just one of the main obstacles that students experience. Appropriate amount of stress which is manageable can help students improve their motivation, concentration and academic performance. However, disproportionate amounts of stress, if not dealt with, can lead to detrimental effects on students’ life leading to poor self-confidence, low mood, anxiety and poor academic performance. Unchecked stress can affect students’ physical, social and emotional wellbeing.

Although the majority of this stress often stems from their coursework, other factors such as attitudes and beliefs of self, family, and friends, can also increase stress and lead to undesirable academic and personal outcomes.

Our Stress Management Module uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy techniques which helps the student deal effectively with stressful thoughts, feelings and situations, leading to a change in their attitude, improved self-confidence and greater productivity. Parental Counselling is also essential to support and help the student.
