Working with a client suffering from workplace stress in a primary care setting: A cognitive behavioural case study
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
