Book an AppointmentWhat is the difference between stress and anxiety?
It's important to distinguish the two, because their treatment also differs:
Stress
Linked to a specific external trigger (deadline, exam, conflict). When the cause disappears, the stress eases. To a certain extent it can be healthy and motivating.
Anxiety
Internal, persists even when there's no concrete danger. Generalized, hard to reduce, and interferes with daily life. If it's affecting your wellbeing several days a week – it's worth seeking help.
If you're not sure which applies to you – this is also something you can discuss in the first consultation.
Signs that warrant seeking help
- Constant worry that you can't switch off
- Sleep disturbances, morning fatigue, exhaustion
- Palpitations, shortness of breath, physical tension under stress
- Irritability, impatience, short temper
- Withdrawal, joylessness, loss of motivation
- Burnout – when your work has lost its meaning
- Panic attacks, signs of agoraphobia
What methods do we use?
Proven, personalized techniques
Breathing techniques and relaxation
Deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation are immediately effective for calming an acute stress response. Simple techniques applicable anywhere.
Cognitive restructuring
Recognizing and reframing negative thought patterns – one of the most powerful tools for chronic anxiety and excessive worry.
Mindfulness-based approach
Presence-based techniques that help you "step out" of anxious thoughts and return to the present moment.
Life management strategies
Time management, setting boundaries, work-life balance – concrete, applicable changes for everyday life.
Uncovering root causes
Behind anxiety and burnout there are often deeper patterns – uncovering these brings lasting change, not just symptom treatment.
Burnout – when is it too much?
Burnout is not weakness and not sensitivity – it's your body's signal that something has been sustainably overburdening you. Typical symptoms:
- Chronic physical and emotional exhaustion
- Cynicism, detachment from previously important things
- Reduced performance capacity, concentration difficulties
- Lost sense of purpose in what previously seemed meaningful
The good news: burnout is treatable. Psychological counseling helps uncover the causes of burnout, restore inner balance and develop a strategy for rebuilding.

Frequently Asked Questions – Stress Management and Anxiety
How do I know if I have anxiety or am just stressed?
Stress is linked to an external cause and subsides when the cause disappears. Anxiety is internal, persists without a cause, and interferes with daily life. If it's affecting your wellbeing several days a week – it's worth seeking help.
Can I learn stress management techniques?
Yes – breathing techniques, relaxation, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness-based methods are all learnable and can be applied independently.
How quickly can results be seen?
Many people notice improvement after 3–5 sessions. For lasting results generally 8–12 sessions are needed, but this varies individually.
Do I need a psychiatrist for burnout?
Burnout is generally treatable with psychological counseling. With physical symptoms it's also worth seeing a GP. If severe depression is suspected, we refer the client to a psychiatrist.
What's the difference between a stress management training and psychological counseling?
Training is group-based, technique-focused and short. Psychological counseling is individual, personalized and extends to the root causes – bringing more lasting change.
Is stress management counseling available online?
Yes – our specialists also hold sessions online. Online consultation is especially practical if workplace stress makes daily scheduling difficult.
