Abstract
Workplace stress is a serious problem in the UK and counselling is an intervention frequently used to tackle this problem (Health and Safety Executive, 2003). There is a vast amount of literature focusing on the topic of workplace stress. Nevertheless, there appears to be a lack of literature focusing on clients suffering from workplace stress seeking help in a primary care setting. The purpose of this case study is to outline the therapy with a client suffering from workplace stress in primary care, highlighting specific related issues. A cognitive behavioural approach (Beck, 1976, 1995) was used, and, accordingly, the therapeutic interventions focused on the client’s cognitions, moods, behaviour and physiology. In addition, the client’s work situation was explored and organisational stressors were identified.
