Understand your current stress levels
As part of the Stress Control programme, you’ll have access to self-assessment questionnaires that you can complete at any time to understand and track your stress levels as you progress through the course.
These assessments help you measure changes in:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Overall wellbeing
We recommend completing an assessment before you begin so you have a clear baseline for comparison, and then repeating them throughout the course to see how things change over time.
To help you get started, you can complete a free self-assessment now to understand how stress may be affecting you and whether the course could be helpful for you.
Your responses are completely confidential and are not shared with anyone else.
12 video sessions
There are 12 structured video sessions, each focusing on a key aspect of understanding and managing stress.
The sessions are delivered by Dr Jim White, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and a leading expert in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). They are based on practical, evidence-based strategies designed to help you understand stress, regain a sense of control, and improve your wellbeing.
Each session builds on the last, helping you develop practical tools you can apply in everyday life.
Topics include:
Relaxation Tracks
The course includes guided relaxation tracks designed to help calm your mind and body and reduce physical symptoms of stress.
The main techniques used are:
- Belly breathing
- Progressive muscle relaxation
- Mindfulness
You can personalise your experience by choosing:

- Your preferred voice (Dr Jim White or Dr Ruth Jamieson)
Relaxation is personal, and we encourage you to try different options and find what works best for you.
