Course overview

Many man-hours are lost due to stress-related illnesses and this, of course, leads to loss of production.  It makes good economic sense for companies to use trained therapists to reduce that loss. Employers today recognise their responsibility to care for staff’s well-being.  This course is designed to train the stress consultant, counsellor or psychotherapist who wishes to specialise in the treatment of corporate stress.
