TOOLS & EXPERIENCES GROUNDED IN RESEARCH AND PROVEN PRACTICIES
Workplace Stress – A Real Challenge
In the UK, workplace stress is widespread and persistent:
Around 79% of employees experience moderate to high stress at work
Signs of burnout such as exhaustion and disengagement are now seen in 63% of workers.
In Scotland alone:
Many feel stressed on an average of 10 days each month.
These figures show that stress in working life is not occasional - it's on going.
UPSTREAM SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE TEAMS
These structured reset sessions introduce practical regulation tools that help staff interrupt stress responses early — before they impact workflow, morale and collaboration.
The result isn’t forced positivity. It’s steadier focus, improved communication and the space for energy and morale to recover naturally.
When Workplace Stress Impacts Performance
Staff bring workload pressure, personal strain and digital overload into the workplace each day. When regulation is low, reactivity increases. Focus narrows. Communication shortens. Collaboration suffers.
Stress doesn’t begin at 9am.
Regularly observed team gains:
Reduced stress reactivity
Improved communication
Steadier Focus under pressure
“I provide tools grounded in physiology, regulation and workplace wellbeing practice.”
calmer responses, more resilience
clearer dialogue, fewer misunderstandings
sustained attention in busy environments
Structured Reset Works
Breath-based circuit breakers that interrupt stress responses and restoring enough calm and control for engagement.
Structured, laughter-based exercises that gently elevate heart rate, increase oxygen flow and stimulate shared engagement.
Guided settling practices consolidate gains and support sustained focus.
REGULATE
– Pattern Interruption
ACTIVATE
– Biological Re-engagement
INTEGRATE
–Nervous-System Consolidation
Staff learn simple techniques to steady breathing and regain control under pressure.
This controlled activation shifts energy, reduces tension and supports cognitive reset.
Practical tools are introduced to help staff transfer regulation skills into everyday workflow.
Our workplace reset sessions follow a clear, evidence-informed three-phase progression designed for real working environments.
When teams regulate and activate together, shared safety increases.
This evidence-informed process helps teams respond less reactively, work more collaboratively and maintain focus under pressure.
