All of the services I offer can help with stress.
Stress prevention, management, treatment and recovery are my speciality. My interest in stress and anxiety and how to handle them started as a personal journey, having been prone to them as a young adult.
From getting a 1st class degree in Psychology in 1999, through my corporate career in sales and marketing management, and training to be a stress management coach in 2011, I have amassed a wealth of tools and techniques that I love explaining to others.
I put together a simple, grounded and accessible course so that more people could benefit, but also offer stress management coaching 1:1 and workshops for organisations.
Contact me for more details, or to find out about my approach to stress management, and the course I put together, please watch the video below:
I developed an online course that summarises 25 years of learning.
It takes 1.5 hours in total, with simple easy to follow 15-20 minute modules covering:
– The anatomy and symptoms of stress
– The long term health implications of chronic stress
– Simple tools and techniques for managing stress
– Ways to help yourself, and ways to help others
– Basic introduction to mindfulness
Stress is a natural human response. It can be powerful, giving us energy and focus when we most need them. Only when we allow stress to build up and overwhelm us does it become a problem. Then it can cause physical, emotional and mental ill-health.
I teach stress management techniques that:
These are practical tools you can use straightaway. From the same programme as the emergency services in Australia and New Zealand use. Not theories or concepts with no clear outcomes. Everyone can benefit from learning them.
I teach Stress Management 1:1, but have also recorded a simple and easy online course – that you can take any time, anywhere.

Stress costs British businesses up to £26 billion every year.
But it doesn’t have to be this way!
When staff are stressed:
– They have short tempers and argue over petty things
– They are distracted and not on top of their work
– Important issues get ignored
– Customer service suffers
– Deadlines are missed
– Productivity drops
– Absence goes up
If you recognise any of these, it’s likely that stress is affecting your organization.
You can’t prevent all stress happening. But you can help your staff to manage it, by giving them access to this course or to group sessions in stress management. And the tools they learn will work whether they are experiencing work related stress or stress in their personal life (both will affect their performance at work).
Tackling stress at an organisational level can a improve staff energy levels, help them plan and manage their workloads more effectively, communicate well with each other, make better decisions, be more creative and remain goal oriented.
Since 2009 the number of sick days lost to stress, depression and anxiety has increased by 24%.
In 2011 stress overtook cancer as the main reason for long-term absence from work (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) / Simplyhealth Absence Management Survey 2012).
And the 2016 Labour Force Survey showed that in the year 2015-16 there were 488,000 cases of work related stress, anxiety or depression. This led to the loss of 11.7 million working days and accounted for 45% of all working days lost due to ill health.
On average, people who are off work with stress are away for 23.9 days. That’s more than a month. Some never return.
After graduating with a 1st class degree in Psychology, I spent 20 years working for businesses including BT, Siemens and Cisco. In my last major role I managed three departments and 18 people. Prior to that I was head of global sales and marketing for a leading veterinary sciences company.
Naturally, after this long in the corporate world, I’ve experienced work related stress myself. I’ve also managed people who were experiencing stress in both their work and home lives. I’ve seen at first hand the impact stress can have on people’s health, their performance and the wider organization.
