Tackling job-stress

How we can help you

If you frequently feel anxious and also have 2 or more of these symptoms:

  • a decrease, or sudden increase, in your libido;
  • back pain;
  • bad breath;
  • bleeding gums;
  • dietary problems;
  • frequent stomach upsets;
  • irritability;
  • sleeplessness;
  • sudden nervousness; or
  • weight issues;

then stress may well be an issue in your life.


Stress is a useful tool in most successful people’s lives.  Some experts on stress believe it to be the way in which the brain concentrated on solving a problem before we developed language complex enough to rationalise solutions – and anything that helps problem-solving is pretty useful in modern business.

The problem is, though, that stress utilises many of the primaeval systems that evolved for the ‘fight-or-flight’ response and if the stress isn’t dispersed from time-to-time, its retention can harm us.

So a useful tool can become a potential killer.

At this Institute we call stress that stays in your system for prolonged periods ‘excess stress’.  It can come from a single stressful experience, or from a prolonged anxiety – ‘slow-stress’.  Slow-stress that is considered by you to have a connection with work we call ‘job-stress’.

Controlling excess stress is a skill that anyone can learn.

Curing stress problems is both possible and effective. 

But our experience shows that people with excess stress need relatively short programmes which must:

  • Tackle the underlying causes of the excess stress
  • Prepare the individual for the changes necessary to eliminate the excess stress
  • Tackle all the symptoms within the same programme

We provide advice and clinical care to:

  • Individuals – at a rate tailored to their ability to pay
  • Employers – in Employee Assistance Programmes and Capitation Schemes
