  • #99 Balancing Stress
    In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, Dr. Niamh Clarke, Principal Psychologist Manager and Programme Presenter, and Dr. Aleisha Clarke, National Programme Manager for Mental Health and Wellbeing, joins host Noreen Turley to introduce the new Balancing Stress programme, which is a free, easy-to-access, evidence-based online course in stress management, developed in partnership with HSE Health and Wellbeing and HSE psychologists. Through the conversation, Niamh and Aleisha explore how stress affects so many of us, how it can build up unnoticed, and why understanding our own patterns of stress is the first step to managing it more effectively. The episode highlights key themes covered across the six sessions, including practical tools for managing worry, anxiety, low mood, improving relationships, and managing stress into the future. It also explains how the programme combines techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to offer real, practical support. This feels a little bit repetitive as you have already noted the tools and techniques Niamh and Aleisha discuss how Balancing Stress is designed for busy lives, with six short, flexible sessions that you can complete at your own pace. Whether you are facing everyday pressures or simply want to strengthen your coping skills, this programme offers practical strategies you can start using right away.
