Perhaps the first thing to say is that, unlike pressure, stress is never good for you and never a positive thing. Stress creates unhealthy biological reactions, and prolonged stress can lead to both physical and mental health breakdowns. Whether you currently believe that you work well under stress or are already uncomfortable with the level of stress you are currently under, it is essential that you do something about it.

As a Stress Management Consultant I can help you identify the causes of your stress, understand how you are creating the physical effects of stress in your body, help you learn coping skills to reduce your symptoms. We can work together to create a realistic stress management programme to help you cope with stress in the future.
Stressful events are a fact of life. And you may not be able to change your current situation, however you can take steps to manage the impact these events have on you.
The techniques used will vary as the programme is unique to you, these tools include coaching, NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming), visualisation, changing your relationship with stress for life. Some of these work very quickly.
As each programme is individual to your needs its hard to say how many sessions you may need, the average is around four to six.
Some of the symptoms of stress mentioned above can also be caused by other conditions that need to be checked out by your GP.
