Stress is a part of life, but not everyone experiences it the same way.
Women consistently report higher levels of stress than men. Is it biology? Social pressure? Or something more complex?

From the invisible weight of the mental load to the impact of caregiving, workplace dynamics, and gendered expectations, the reasons are layered, and the consequences far-reaching.

Understanding these patterns isn’t just interesting - it’s essential for building fairer, healthier systems of support.

While stress is a human experience, it is not a gender-neutral one. Women face a unique constellation of biological sensitivities and social stressors that contribute to higher reported stress levels. Recognising this pattern is the first step in creating more equitable systems—where wellbeing is ...

Healing involves learning to live with what’s happened, without letting it define the whole story. In therapy, we work not to erase the past, but to loosen its grip — so you can meet the present with more space, choice, and steadiness.

In therapeutic work, healing is sometimes misunderstood as the elimination of suffering or the correction of perceived flaws.
But more often, it’s about integration — the capacity to acknowledge, tolerate, and coexist with complex emotional experiences.

We don’t “fix” the self as if it were broken.
We learn to recognise its many parts as worthy of compassion, even the ones shaped by pain.

This is the slow, quiet work of psychological growth.
Not perfection — but coherence.

🧠 Right brain to right brain psychotherapy is a deeply relational and neuroscience-informed way of understanding how change happens in therapy.

Words matter, yes—but often, the most profound healing happens through nonverbal emotional resonance. Eye contact, tone of voice, body language, and the feeling of being truly attuned to by another person can reshape how we relate to ourselves and others.

Drawing on the work of Allan Schore and interpersonal neurobiology, this approach reminds us:
Healing happens through connection. Nervous system to nervous system.
Right brain to right brain.

Right Hemispheric Communication in Therapy: Why It Matters More Than You Think.

When we think about psychotherapy, we often imagine it as a conversation - words exchanged, problems explored, insights gained. But beneath the surface of that dialogue, something deeper is occurring: a right hemisphere-to-right hemisphere connection. This nonverbal, emotional resonance between therapist and client is increasingly recognised as a powerful agent of healing.

In therapy, when the therapist is emotionally attuned and regulated, they help the client co-regulate. This interaction can create new neural pathways that support resilience, secure attachment, and a more integrated sense of self.

As Allan Schore puts it: “The right brain is dominant for the vital functions that underlie self-awareness, empathy, identification with others, and morality.” In other words, it’s the side of the brain where we connect, co-regulate, and ultimately, heal.

At The London Practice, we value insight, but we also honour the power of attunement.
Because the nervous system is always listening.
Even when words fall short.

At The London Practice, we know that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme - community - is something we live every day, as colleagues and clinicians.

Whether we’re supporting clients, consulting with one another, or sharing a quiet moment over coffee, we work together to create a space where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.

We believe that meaningful change happens in relationship - with others, with ourselves, and within the communities we belong to.

We’re proud of the community we’ve built within our team, and even prouder of the communities we help strengthen through our work.

💙Got the winter blues? Let’s make sure they don’t turn into something bigger. Your feelings matter.
Can we help you this season with something you are going through? Contact the team today to discuss how we can help online. For some however, the thought of communicating through video conference or phone might initially elicit some apprehension, but it’s important to know that this form of therapy is just as effective as the sessions we hold in-person. All our therapists are used to working online and will make the sessions as personable and comfortable for you as they can.
