For so long we have relied on a stable economy for our emotional security. Now we are having to reprioritise our values for sustainable fulfilment.

(1888PressRelease) August 25, 2010 - "We're seeing more and more stressed and anxious people whose lives have been turned upside down by the economic crisis" Says Raymond Francis, Founder of the Apex Practice - leading London Counselling service. "For so long we have relied on a stable economy for our emotional security. Now we are having to reprioritise our values for a more sustainable sense of fulfilment."

Financial pressures are particularly affecting relationships. More couples are coming for relationship counselling, both nationwide and in London, as a result of the economic crisis. Financial difficulties can add to already strained relationships, causing breakdowns. Counselling enables couples to recognise areas of conflict as well as unhealthy thought patterns. By evaluating their core values, couples often see a dramatic shift occur in their appreciation of their relationship and a new found sense of what is important.

"Things are really very good for me now. My husband and I are getting on so much better and I am much, much more stable and happier than I have been for a long while. Thanks so much for all your support."

For many already stressed people, the added financial burden has brought them to crisis point.

"Anxiety is a negative reaction to difficult situations but when it becomes intense and prolonged it can be extremely unpleasant." Says Francis, "Sometimes it can lead to emotional breakdown. The irony is that it often takes such a crisis before someone will seek a professional counsellor."

According to Francis, people living in London are more likely to suffer from anxiety than anywhere else in the country, "We see a lot of people with huge self expectations concerning financial success. This creates enormous pressure and anxiety because of the importance attached to achieving often unattainable goals. With the help of a skilled counsellor many people are able to find a new, more realistic and fulfilling version of success for themselves."
