At Dural Psychology, we know how easily stress can build up, especially when you're juggling work, family, health, and the constant demands of daily life. Stress isn't just a feeling; it can affect our sleep, mood, focus, and even our physical health.

The good news? There are ways to manage it—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether it's learning to calm your nervous system, setting healthier boundaries, or just taking a moment to breathe—small steps can make a big difference.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, we’re here to help. Reach out, or book a session. Let’s create space for calm, together. 💙

Establishing a daily routine can be a great place to start if you are experiencing symptoms of depression.

Having healthy routines can support your mental health and wellbeing by bringing a sense of control and reducing stress.

Just your presence and willingness to listen is so powerful!

You don't have to walk in someone's shoes to be there for them. Never underestimate the power of a non-judgemental listening ear.
