Therapy Treatment Modalities and Common Concerns

Common Concerns

  • Anxiety

    ANXIETY

    Perhaps you worry about coping with work and life. This anxiety can be affecting your mood, stress levels and work.

    It can arise for many reasons including a fear of failure, worry, a lack of confidence, perfectionism, or a strong investment in a particular outcome.

  • Excessive Worry

    EXCESSIVE WORRY

    Excessive worry can show itself in an overactive busy mind that struggles to let go, a feeling of being “wired”. The mind seems to latch onto thoughts and get stuck in a loop. Thoughts can be ruminations about past events or worries about future outcomes. These thoughts can lead to feelings of panic, urgency or overwhelm.

    In a performance situation this can result in “analysis paralysis”, a lack of focus, poor concentration and an inability to make decisive choices.

  • Depression and Feelings of Overwhelm

    DEPRESSION AND FEELINGS OF OVERWHELM

    Feeling depressed can be like wearing rose tinted glasses. The world seems grey and hopeless. Energy is low and so is motivation. You may experience increased self-doubt, forgetfulness and excessive negative thoughts. Depression can also be experienced as bouts of irritation and low mood.

  • Low Confidence

    LOW CONFIDENCE

    Confidence is the number one determinant of successful outcomes. Self-doubt erodes this confidence. Low self-worth and self-doubt are likely fuelled by feelings of not being good enough or feeling like an imposter.

    These feelings could be related to past experiences of perceived failure. Low confidence can lead to hesitation in decision-making and self-sabotaging behaviours.

  • Team Stress and Conflict

    TEAM STRESS AND CONFLICT

    High pressure situations can create conflict and stress for teams. The demands and expectations in elite performance environments can impact team cohesion, affect team confidence and team morale.

    A team is only as strong as its weakest link. Learning to work together effectively and create a climate of motivation and is essential for performance at an elite level.

  • Stress and Burnout

    STRESS AND BURNOUT

    Burnout can creep up slowly or hit suddenly. Whatever the trigger, burnout can lead to decreased motivation, increased anxiety, fatigue and poor focus. Ultimately, productivity takes a nosedive and work stress can feel insurmountable.
