Corporate Work
Help staff achieve changes to benefit them and the company.
As well as one to one sessions in the clinic, I can also offer workshops on stopping smoking, exam preparation or stress management at your workplace.
Stop Smoking workshops
Why do people smoke - really? How can they quit if they want to ?
There are many myths which help to perpetuate the habit ("smoking helps me relax" - actually it doesn't) - we debunk these myths. There are a range of methods people can use to help them get unhooked - we look at the pros & cons of them all.
A workshop can get everyone ready to quit together, creating a positive supportive environment, and even use a sense of competition to help your office go smoke free.
Exam Preparation
Whatever the subject - medical, legal, financial - exams subject people to the same psychological challenges. If you have a group of staff entering exams together, help them to 'up their game' by learning techniques to focus and deal with the normal stress of succeeding at exams.
A workshop can boost success rates and lower stress of taking professional exams.
Stress Management
Excessive workplace stress is a large ands increasing problem, affecting around 60% of the working population. According to
Personnel Today, work related stress is responsible for a quarter of sickness absence.
Why should an employer worry about this? Apart from increased absence, reduced productivity and loss of valuable staff to burnout, employers also need to be aware of their legal liability. In a recent case (Willans v Reckitt & Colman plc, 2000) the courts recognised management of stress as part of an employer’s duty of care. However, guidance handed down from the Court of Appeal (2002) stated that:
“An employer that offers a confidential advice service, with appropriate counselling or treatment services, is unlikely to be found in breach of duty.”
Hypnotherapy is not a cure-all for unreasonable workloads and poor personnel management. However, the profound relaxation of hypnosis makes it a powerful stress-busting technique which can bring quick and effective results to your workplace. According to a recent client of mine, hypnosis is "more relaxing than a full body massage".
