Stress Control
Stress Control is an internationally recognised, evidence-based programme designed to help people manage stress, build resilience, and improve overall mental wellbeing. Developed by Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr Jim White, it has been independently clinically proven to be as effective as individual therapy in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression — while being delivered at a fraction of the cost of traditional treatment.
Delivered for over 30 years across the NHS, HSE, and other healthcare settings, as well as in businesses and public sector organisations throughout the UK, Ireland, and beyond, Stress Control combines practical skills and evidence-based techniques to improve mental health outcomes.
Stress Control at Home (www.stresscontrolathome.com) is the flexible online version of the programme — ideal for anyone looking to improve their mental health and wellbeing. Delivered in a lecture-style, psychoeducational format, it enables participants to learn practical, evidence-based techniques privately and at their own pace. This low-stigma approach encourages participation, particularly among groups who may be less likely to access traditional support, including men, minority communities, and those from deprived areas.
Stress Control has a strong track record of supporting wellbeing, improving coping skills, and helping people lead healthier, more balanced lives.
