What is stress?
Everyone faces some level of stress in life. However, it is possible for stress to become overwhelming and significantly affect one’s overall quality of life, whether it be induced by day-to-day stressors or major life changes.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2020, 59% of Australians experienced at least one personal stressor in the last 12 months. People with mental health conditions and people with long-term health conditions are also more likely to experience stressors. Experiencing high levels of stress can not only negatively impact mental health but can also contribute to increased physical health risks such as cardiovascular issues, digestive problems, immune system suppression, sleep disturbances, weight fluctuations and musculoskeletal problems.
Getting the right support to manage your stress can help to provide relief and empower you to regain control of your life.

Signs That You May Need Counselling for Stress
Types of stress:
- Acute stress – Occurs in response to immediate perceived threats; short-term and usually subsides once the situation is resolved
- Episodic acute stress – Occurs when someone frequently experiences acute stress
- Chronic stress – Ongoing stress that persists over a long period of time
When you consistently experience high levels of stress, this can have a debilitating effect on your life.
If you’re unsure whether the stress you’re feeling is serious enough to warrant professional stress counselling, here are some signs to look out for:
- Constant feelings of being overwhelmed or an inability to cope
- Tendency to distance oneself from family or friends
- Difficulty concentrating on tasks
- Erratic sleep patterns
- Feeling fatigued most of the time
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
- Physical symptoms such as headaches or tense muscles
- Frequent and extreme mood swings
When it comes to managing stress, stress counselling with a psychologist is one of the most effective treatment methods available. If you are experiencing any of the above, it’s important to seek help – the right support can make a world of difference.
