STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress is an everyday fact of life.  You can’t avoid it and it is one of the most common causes of illness today.  It can be caused by work pressures, family life, relationships, money issues, lifestyle changes, exam pressures and many other things.  Some stress is good because it gives us the motivation to get up each morning and get things done, motivating us to achieve our goals.  Too much stress however, can lead to illness, affecting home life and career prospects.

Whether the stress you experience is a result of everyday issues and troubles, or the result of a major life change, how you react and respond to it has a major impact on how you cope and how it affects your health.

Stress in itself is not a bad thing; it can provide the motivation we need to tackle daily challenges.  However when stress starts to exceed a person’s ability to cope, problems can begin and stress related illness can follow.

According to the Health and Safety Executive over 105 million work days are lost to stress related illness each year costing UK employers an estimated £1.24 billion (UK Stress Management Society).  It is also estimated that 11% of absence is related to stress and the incidence of stress is rising.

Stress is not just related to work situations and more commonly it is a result of a combination of work, home and financial pressures.

Would you like to:

  • learn how to deal with pressurised situations?
  • gain practical relaxation techniques?
  • or provide courses for your staff and minimise stress related absence?

Stress management courses are available on an individual client basis or for corporate groups.  Courses are tailor-made to suit your requirements and can include:

  • Symptoms of stress
  • Sources of stress
  • Job stress management
  • Time management techniques
  • Worry control
  • Breathing techniques
  • Progressive relaxation

Hypnotherapy can help you to regain balance and reduce stress.  It helps you to:

  • Relax deeply, letting stress hormones subside.
  • Regain your focus on what is important in your life.
  • Increase your confidence to be able to deal with situations and people.
