'Stress management coaching is a collaborative process where a trained coach helps clients identify sources of stress and develop personalised strategies to manage and reduce stress. According to the WellMeRight glossary, a stress management coach assesses clients’ internal and external stressors and co-creates a plan incorporating techniques such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness practices, time management and lifestyle modifications. The goal is to build resilience, improve wellbeing and maintain a healthy work-life balance. The practice draws on psychology, health coaching and occupational wellness and has gained traction as awareness of stress’s impact on health increases. Benefits include improved mental health, enhanced physical well-being, increased resilience, better work-life balance, improved relationships and boosted productivity. Sessions typically involve identifying stress triggers, setting goals, practising coping strategies and monitoring progress. A stress management coach does not replace therapy but complements healthcare by teaching skills and providing accountability. It is beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic stress, burnout or high-pressure work environments.',
