I assume that you’ve come to this page because you’re a teacher who is currently suffering with stress levels that are seriously affecting your work – and your life, and you want to do something about it. If that’s so, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 30 years I’ve been helping people in all walks of life – professional, academic and workers at every level – get their stress under control. So if you’re a primary or secondary school teacher, maybe a head of school, or a teaching assistant, then I can definitely help you.
You know, when I attended school, the idea of teachers becoming stressed out was pretty much unheard of. Today, it’s a different matter. Dedicated teachers like yourself are getting signed off in droves by their doctor for chronic stress, with many teachers leaving the profession altogether because they simply cannot handle the job any longer.
One piece of research I read estimated that 35,000 teachers left the profession last year, and at the same time there was a 43% drop in applications on teacher training programmes. I’m sure that comes as no surprise to you!
