Stress Audit
This is the starting point for most of those I see as it shows us both exactly the ‘where, how and why’ you are feeling as you are. The answers start here and the process of change can now begin. It is exciting and positive bringing about a real and deeper understanding of what is happening to you mentally, physically and emotionally. Now appropriate and relevant actions to get you the results you are seeking can start.
How it works:
• Following payment, your stress audit will be sent by email as PDF documents.
• On completion, they are returned to me and usually within one week, they will be returned with a comprehensive evaluation and any appropriate recommendations for you to take forward.
• If you have opted for a 1st face to face session, the evaluation will be given back at this time.
• Or it may be that you just want the stress audit as a standalone piece of information for you to work with the evaluation and recommendations on your own.
Payment
Once you have agreed to the stress audit, I will send you an invoice with payment details by email for either:
• BACS transfer – preferred method as there is no delay in sending out the audit.
• Cheque by post that will need to be cleared prior to the stress audit being sent out.
• Cash, if combined with a face to face session.

Phone Sessions
Many enjoy the benefits of stress management sessions by telephone at it is an extremely powerful and effective way of working. Here my coaching skills in active listening are of great benefit as I am trained to listen deeply at many levels and to ‘hear’ all that you say. How we use our voice, what we say and often what we don’t say, all become more apparent with focused, active listening.
