Designed for barristers, clerks and other employees of chambers who want to take control and manage the stress they experience in their everyday lives.

Stress is simply our body’s natural response to threatening situations, or when we feel under pressure – it is perfectly normal and usually prompts us to address the challenges we are faced with on a daily basis. However, prolonged and unaddressed exposure to stress can present us with concerning health problems.
