THE HOUSE PARTNERSHIPTRUSTED & CONFIDENTIAL
Stress Therapy & CBT ~ London W1 & EC1
We are a professional partnership of therapists, psychologists, and CBT specialists based in London, providing one-to-one stress therapy to help you to work through problems with Stress and Burnout and to find more helpful, positive responses to the frictions and confrontations of modern life.
Stress — of the right kind, at the right time, and in the right amount — can help you achieve objectives in life by stimulating your thought and creativity, and providing the energy boost you need to improve your performance. But if stress is maintained at a high level for too long, the exact opposite happens.
