Stress Control is an evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) class for anxiety, low mood/depression, anger, low self-confidence and self-esteem, panic, poor sleep and burnout - in other words ‘stress’. Mindfulness and Positive Psychology skills are used to boost wellbeing.

Stress Control can be used to help those with existing problems with stress and as a preventative/early intervention approach. It was created by Dr Jim White, an internationally-renowned Consultant Clinical Psychologist, CBT therapist and researcher. He has trained well over 1,000 Stress Control teachers who deliver the class world-wide to hundreds of thousands of people. Independent research shows it works at least as well as individual therapy but at a fraction of the cost. As Stress Control works as a class rather than as a group therapy, there is no upper limit on the number who can attend. As there is no discussion of personal problems, stigma issues are greatly diminished. Dr White offers a two-day ‘train the trainer’ session, allowing your health staff to then deliver the classes to your organisation. Trainers need experience of dealing with stress and, preferably, at least training in behavioural approaches.
