Every human being needs some degree of stress to be able to function, but it is necessary to distinguish between good and bad chronic stress. After all, stress is the body's response to a situation (stressor) requiring a physical, mental and emotional adjustment.
“Stress itself is not a disease, but chronic psychological stress or prolonged emotional distress can make one physically sick,” said Tony Novissimo – director of London Therapy Foundation. For example, it impairs the important immune system's ability to suppress and regulate inflammation, thus developing or exacerbating diseases.

“Once emotional distress starts to interfere with a person's daily functioning, he or she should receive treatment to prevent it from leading to depression. Treatment is usually offered by health professionals such as psychologists or emotional distress psychotherapists in, among others, medical centres such as the London Therapy Foundation in Isleworth,” Tony added.

Trauma in today's society, as well as the Covid-19 pandemic and associated job losses, are the biggest factors contributing to stress and ultimately depression these days, but those are not the only factors that cause stress. However, with the right counselling or therapy, individuals can learn how their brains respond to their senses and environment, and thus learn how not to become entangled in these processes and become emotionally entangled.

London Therapy Foundation offers a range of therapies by a collective of specialists – each with their own unique set of skills and qualifications – to those individuals that are emotionally, mentally and spiritually in distress. One such professional who has been a member of the London Therapy Foundation since 2020, is Fred Macmillan –a qualified MBACP counsellor that offers humanistic therapies, gestalt therapy, transactional analysis and person-centred Counselling.

Most of the counsellors and therapists from the London Therapy Foundation are available for in-person as well as online sessions because as a collective of specialists across the therapy spectrum, the centre aims to provide a sense of community both within the centre and through an online platform, which is not only beneficial for their member therapists but also patients.

By visiting their website, patients will be able to instantly find a therapist, qualified, psychotherapist or counsellor and book a consultation. Patients are assured of a safe and secure online registration and all conversations and information relating to their therapy sessions are treated as highly confidential and with the utmost discretion.

London Therapy Foundation can also be reached by telephone, or if you have any further enquiries, you can send them an email.
