Stress Therapy in West London
When demands outweigh resources for too long, stress can turn from a temporary state into a chronic struggle. Our team is here to help you overcome burnout.
Burnout is more than just exhaustion - it’s a deep sense of depletion, detachment, and the feeling that you have nothing left to give.
Whether it stems from work, caregiving, emotional labour, or ongoing pressure to meet high expectations, burnout can quietly build over time. Many people push through until something gives - often their health, motivation, or relationships. You may feel guilty for slowing down, or unsure how to ask for help, especially if being capable and dependable has become part of your identity.
At The Knightsbridge Practice, we offer a supportive space for stress therapy in West London, where you can pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Therapy is not about doing more - it’s about doing differently, with care and intention.
Expert stress & burnout therapy

How specialised stress therapy can help
Therapy provides a space to understand what’s fuelling the stress and to reconnect with your needs, values, and limits. Together, we work to restore balance and resilience in a way that’s both meaningful and sustainable. This may include:
-
Exploring the root causes of burnout, including perfectionism, people-pleasing, or unresolved trauma
-
Setting boundaries with compassion, both internally and in relationships
-
Identifying what restores you, and reintroducing moments of calm, pleasure, and rest
-
Developing tools to regulate stress, including breathwork, mindfulness, and nervous system support
-
Reconnecting with your sense of self, beyond roles, responsibilities, or productivity
A flexible, personalised approach to therapy
Many clients benefit from various types of therapy.
For example, a session might incorporate the reflective depth of psychodynamic therapy, the practical tools of CBT, and the self-kindness of CFT - all held within a relational, person-centred frame.
Your therapist will collaborate with you to shape a path that feels relevant, respectful, and effective.
