ABOUT THE STRESS MASTER

I am a certified stress management consultant and an international expert on workplace performance improvement, with a special interest in stress management and mental health issues. My work involves benchmarking employers’ mental health risk management performance against relevant legislative and good practice standards. I also work with employers to develop strategic plans to assist them in achieving those standards. In addition, I provide individual support to workers suffering from mental ill-health issues in an occupational context in order to help them remain at work or return to work following an absence. I am able to assist in legal cases involving stress-related occupational ill health by identifying the standards that employers should achieve in relation to occupational ill health and commenting on the extent to which those standards were achieved. I can also advise on the effects that occupational stress management strategies (or their absence) have at an individual level. I have over twenty-five years of experience in the design, development, and delivery of occupational mental health risk management and training programs. I am considered the UK\'s leading expert on stress and how to control it. In addition to my work in the UK, I have worked for private and public sector organisations in Canada, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East. I am the author of the international best-seller Choice and Change-How to Have a Healthy Relationship with Ourself and Others. My latest book is called \"How to Control Your Stress—Instead of Stress Controlling You.\"
