I am a qualified Life Coach / Personal Coach in Stockport, Cheshire, near Manchester, in the UK providing Life Coaching / Personal Coaching for a wide range of areas including stress and stress management in relation to work and personal / home life, helping you to move towards towards empowerment, self-confidence and a happier, more productive and satisfying life. I hold a Diploma in Life Coaching. We are within easy traveling distance of Manchester, Altrincham, Ashton, Buxton, Glossop, Hyde, Macclesfield, Poynton, Sale, Wilmslow and other towns in Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Lancashire near to the Greater Manchester area.
Today our modern world and lifestyle includes many stressful situations. It is estimated that two-thirds of all the illnesses diagnosed by GPs in Britain are stress related and that 55% of the UK work force miss 16 days per year due to stress and 75% of people are stressed at work. Lancet 2005). There can also be many stress factors in our personal/home life such as financial worries and relationship difficulties. Stress can become such a feature of our daily life that many do not fully recognise the degree of their stress. This in itself is a danger as the first step in dealing with stress is to recognise when it is occuring. There are many physical and mental/emotional symptoms which may be an indication of stress. Some of the common ones are listed in the table below. It is important to be aware though that such symptoms might be related to other conditions, so particularly in relation to the physical symptoms listed it is important to seek the advice of your doctor in order to check if they have other causes. If you have checked out other possible causes and/or you are experiencing some of the mental/emotional potential indicators it may be time to take stock of the stress that you feel under.
It pays to identify stress early so that positive steps can be taken to manage it. If stress is prolonged and chronic it is known that, apart from the obvious mental and emotional distress that is caused, it can have detrimental effects on the physical systems of our body and which it is known can result in certain illnesses in particular.
Apart from routine stress it is recognised that particular life events are stressful in themselves. Identify the stress factors that have affected you over the last twelve months in the following Life Events Stress Table and add up the score total. You will notice that both positive and negative changes can cause stress.
Scoring the Life Events Stress Table:
According to the research our vulnerability to illness during the following 24 months increases from Mild Crisis Level onwards. A high score in the above is no reason to worry in itself. The impact of the scores is moderated by other factors such as personality, sources of support, positive approaches to dealing with stress, etc. However, it is reason to pause and take a look at the stress events in our life and how we are coping with them.
In the Life Coaching sessions we will identify the life event stressors and regular stress factors in your life and asess the impact of stress and your current coping strategies. We will develop a plan to enable you to cope with stress more effectively making use of a range of positive coping strategies and techniques so you feel a lot more relaxed, in control and able to deal with stressful events comfortably.
The start of the process of working together is an Initial Exploratory and Goal Setting Meeting. This may last up to 2 hours during which we will work together to compose a full picture of the impact of stress in your life. We will clarify the positive changes which are needed and identify all your positive resources and all the relevant factors which are hindering you from achieving change. We will together identify and prioritise your goals creating a strategy for you to achieve them and also identify ways of overcoming obstacles, hindrances etc, to empower you to achieve the changes which you are seeking. Subsequent 1 hour sessions will review and adapt the plan as necessary , facilitate implementation of the plan, promote the use of positive coping strategies and techniques and maintain the momentum of change.
