Workplace Stress and Harassment Therapy London

Our Workplace Stress and Trauma Therapists

Our practitioners are certified in perinatal mental health and specialise in supporting people through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood. They provide treatment for postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, perinatal OCD, pregnancy loss and grief, infertility struggles, and adjustment to parenthood. They understand the unique challenges of this period and won’t judge you for any thought or feeling you’re having. They can help you through medication decisions if needed, work with your OB or midwife, provide partner support, and offer practical strategies for managing symptoms while caring for an infant. Whether you’re pregnant and struggling, in the immediate postpartum period, or still dealing with perinatal mental health issues years later, they’re here to help you heal and find your way to the parenthood experience you deserve.

Understanding Workplace Stress and Harassment

Your workplace should be a place where you can do your job and earn a living without constant stress or mistreatment, yet for many people, work has become a source of trauma.

Maybe you’re dealing with a toxic boss who criticizes, micromanages, or takes credit for your work. Perhaps you’re experiencing harassment – sexual, racial, or otherwise – and don’t know if reporting it will make things better or destroy your career. You might be drowning in unrealistic workloads with impossible deadlines, watching colleagues burn out or get fired, while management demands more with less.

Workplace bullying, discrimination, retaliation, or being scapegoated for systemic problems takes an enormous toll. Some workplaces have cultures of cruelty, gossip, or cutthroat competition that poison every day. You might dread Sunday evenings, have physical symptoms on the drive to work, or fantasize about quitting but feel financially trapped.

The impact of workplace stress and harassment extends far beyond the office.

You might be hypervigilant, anxious, or unable to sleep, replaying interactions and worrying about tomorrow. Your physical health suffers – headaches, digestive issues, high blood pressure, or getting sick constantly from chronic stress. Relationships with family and friends suffer because you’re too depleted or preoccupied to be present. You might self-medicate with alcohol, food, or other substances to cope. Self-esteem erodes from constant criticism or undermining. You question your competence even when you’re good at your job.

Harassment can be particularly traumatic, creating symptoms similar to PTSD – hypervigilance, avoidance, flashbacks, shame. The power dynamics make it complicated – you need your job, worry about retaliation, fear not being believed, or blame yourself. Even after leaving a toxic workplace, the psychological effects can linger for months or years.

But you don't have to accept workplace abuse or let a job destroy your mental health.

While changing jobs isn’t always immediately possible, there are strategies to protect yourself, set boundaries where possible, document incidents, understand your rights, and make informed decisions about whether to report, endure, or exit.

Therapy can help you process the trauma, rebuild confidence, develop coping strategies, and plan your next steps – whether that’s improving your current situation, navigating the complaint process, or preparing for a job transition. Your worth isn’t determined by a toxic employer, and what’s happening isn’t your fault. You deserve to work in an environment that respects your dignity and contributions.

I don't usually leave reviews, but Chris's work on workplace stress after experiencing harassment at work deserves one. These days, it's honest progress, not a quick fix, after everything.

I'll admit I was sceptical that anything could really help with workplace stress after experiencing harassment at work. Emma proved me wrong, grounded in trauma-informed practice, which respected exactly where things were at. Six months in, small wins finally feel like they count, and it's stuck.

What struck me most about Avril was how safe I felt discussing workplace stress after experiencing harassment at work. Compared to before, I can look back at where I started and barely recognise it.
