Qualifications:
Diploma In Stress Management Coaching
Diploma In Stress Management Coaching with author and tutor Laurel Alexander
Stress can be good for you. It can challenge and inspire, and
provoke positive life-changing events. Whenever a stressful event
triggers emotional, intellectual or spiritual growth, you know
it's good stress you're dealing with. But it's often not so much
the event itself but your response to the event that determines
whether or not you're up against good or bad stress.
What we need to do is find the optimal level of stress, which
will individually motivate but not overwhelm each of us. As
such, what
is distressing to one may be a joy to another. And even when
we agree that a particular event is distressing, we are likely
to
differ in our physiological and psychological responses to it.
Stress management is about attending to our physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual well-being and this course specializes
in a multidisciplinary
approach to stress management and prevention
.

HOW EX-STUDENTS ARE USING THEIR QUALIFICATION
- I have found that since qualifying as a holistic stress management
therapist, it has enhanced my massage and spiritual healing practice.
It has given me a lot more knowledge and a toolbox of techniques
that I can use to coach and help my clients. I have also found
that the skills that I have learnt on this diploma course very
beneficial for my own wellbeing. C.B.J.
- I attended your stress management course over three years ago.
Since then, I went on to study hypnotherapy after being grabbed
by imagery/visualization on your course. Following this, I
have gone on to study psychotherapy. Both courses I have passed with
distinction. I say this to show how your encouragement and
inspiration has led to other things. Without the self belief and confidence
you gave me, I doubt whether I would be the qualified hypnotherapist
and psychotherapist I am today. Once again, I thank you for
helping me find the right path. Fran, hypnotherapist/psychotherapist
- Since completing the Diploma I have set up my own part
time practice offering stress management, career guidance & redundancy
counselling. I am currently in discussions with a local
beauty salon to set
up a therapy referral system and I am planning on running
some of my own short self development courses. I also am working
on a website and monthly newsletter. I hope to develop
my practice
into a full-time business in the next 18 months. C.W.
- I have been using my Stress Management Diploma to take workshops
with a Depression Self Help group. Like anyone starting out,
I was nervous about taking workshops for the first time, but I was
reassured by Laurel and given guidance in preparing for the
workshops. I have been able to use themes from the excellent course materials
we were given and based on some of the essays we had to complete
in order to pass the Diploma. I felt secure in the knowledge
and
experience I had acquired during the course and Laurel's experience
as a tutor and her calm manner gave me the vital support and
confidence that I needed as a new therapist. Sue
- The stress management course has enabled me to develop my role
in my present job, where I now deliver relaxation classes,
stress management workshops, anxiety management workshops and assertiveness
workshops. Since I completed the training, I deliver one-to-one
stress management sessions to clients with various problems. B.L.
- I completed the SM Diploma in September 2005 and since
then have gained experience in using the skills/techniques
we learned within
a voluntary setting. I have been volunteering in
a drop-in centre for young people, many of whom have suffered
stressful life events
and have a variety of mental/emotional health problems.
I recently ran workshops for the young people using my knowledge
from the
Diploma course, on stress and anger management. They
were keen to discuss and learn ways of understanding their
emotions and responses
to stressful situations and to think of ways they
could behave differently and less destructively. I feel they
really benefited
from the breathing techniques and relaxation part
of the session and some of them were very surprised and pleased
by how relaxed
they became. I recently gained new employment within
a residential setting and am soon to be working full time within
a children’s
care home. After many years working in accountancy,
the Diploma course has given me the necessary experience and
qualifications
to fulfill my dream and work in an area I feel strongly
and passionately about. I am really looking forward to learning
and developing more
within my new job role, and to utilizing further
the knowledge
and skills I learned about stress management both
professionally and personally. C.K.
- Since gaining my Diploma, I have found that personally,
my life has benefited by increased awareness and skills in
managing stress
levels. I have used my knowledge and skills in
my “main job”,
running stress management workshops for groups.
I have also had several articles on stress management published
in magazines.
I
have continued to offer SM for individuals. I decide
to specialize in fertility and pregnancy, which were areas
of particular
interest and am now working for a Fertility Centre,
providing group workshops
and individual SM sessions for women. Karen.
