Stress Management

DIPLOMA LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY

I have a particular interest in stress management and how stress unwittingly creeps up on people with sometimes devastating consequences.  Employers have legal and statutory responsibilities toward the mental wellbeing of their staff hence the growth of stress management in recent years.

Words from a client on the benefits of receiving stress management:

 “Modern employment places increasing levels of stress on everyone, and whilst some stress is supposed to be good for us, reaction to stress varies greatly from one person to another. Having access to the type of services provided by Wilma at ankortherapy.co.uk can allow stress to be managed and reduced quickly, giving employees tools to help themselves and leading to a happier workplace with reduced absence. Referring staff to Wilma where they have expressed a desire or shown a need for support is a successful and cost effective way to reduce employee stress levels and allow them to release their potential.”

I trained in Stress Management at King’s College University, London. However, it is not the training that has proved most useful but rather an amalgamation of over 30 years of experience in therapeutic settings. This has included a busy city centre counselling service which has an emphasis on occupational health for the oil industry, national air traffic control, staff at colleges and universities, the police service and much more. The recent and significant   number of stress related referrals from GPs  has deepened and broadened my understanding and ability to work effectively with the debilitating impact of stress.
