Is stress management coaching right for me?

I've worked with leaders and high-achieving professionals for over a decade, and I've observed they all have one thing in common: the potential to burn out if they don't manage stress.

As a stress coach, I've helped my clients get clear on what they want to achieve, identify barriers to progress, and put into practice effective stress reduction strategies.

I've also helped them determine the most manageable steps for coping with stress and achieving their desired outcomes with less overwhelm.

All of this while offering ongoing support, encouragement, and accountability to give them the best chance of success.

What can I expect from my work with a stress coach?

Leaders who've experienced stress and anxiety coaching describe it as having positively impacted their lives in many ways. Not just for getting better at managing stress but for becoming more happy and resilient.

Some of the things high-achieving professionals and leaders can expect from working with a coach include:

• Better self-leadership and problem solving

• Enhanced interpersonal skills and relationships

• A boost in effectiveness and productivity

• Increased clarity of purpose, goals and focus

• Greater self-awareness and refocus on self-care

• Growth in confidence and self-esteem

•  Accountability to aid goal achievement

• Improved mental health and emotional resilience

Now, although I can't promise you a stress-free life, I can guarantee that through stress coaching, you'll see progress in the way you deal with day-to-day stressors. 

More specifically, you'll:

1. Gain a better understanding of the root causes of your stress
2. Learn effective techniques to manage stressful moments
3. Create action plans designed to minimise the impact of stress
4. Become more confident to perform better under pressure and stress

Typically, you might consider working with a stress coach if you want to take the next step in your personal growth or during a time of opportunity or transition.

If you want more from life and can see where stress and anxiety are holding you back, then working with a stress management coach could be your solution.

Why choose me as your stress and anxiety coach?

I know what it's like to struggle with unmanaged stress and feel unable to cope with the daily demands of life. And, as you can see, I've got the grey hairs to prove it!

My inability to manage stress and the challenges of life and work—which resulted in burnout—led to me leaving the hustle of London and relocating with my family to Gloucestershire.

A lot has happened since our relocation, including seeing our four children become adults, growing my own business, and now being "Pops" to three granddaughters.

And as part of my private practice, I've had the privilege of helping dozens of leaders and busy professionals learn to manage stress so they can improve their wellbeing, relationships, and performance.

So, put simply, I've been where you are, seen change in my own life, and I've helped others like you do the same.

Does stress management coaching work?

Whether you like it or not, stress is part of everyday life. So, as much as you might try to escape it, which is what lots of people attempt to do, you can’t... stress is here to stay!

Although I can’t guarantee you’ll never experience stress again, I can promise you’ll see changes in how it affects you if you apply my 8-Step Stress Management System.

It's a system I've applied over the years and have used with many of my clients too. And it works! I've observed that those who put the work into applying each step see improvements in how they manage stress.

But don't worry; the system isn't designed to be a one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead, it's there to provide a starting block for our work together—to simplify things.

When working together, we'll start by considering what you think will be most helpful in improving your relationship with stress and go from there. 

After all, you might be someone who's already confident you have some of the steps nailed down.

And if so, great!

But despite your starting point, it always helps to have a stress management system that works.
