The StressLess coaching course is designed to teach you to adopt a new attitude to difficult thoughts and to accept and deal with difficult emotions. With the group’s support, you’ll learn how to live life your way. If you are experiencing difficult thoughts, emotions and stress, join our StressLess coaching course.

What is StressLess coaching?

StressLess coaching will teach you about mindfulness, dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions, the balance between acceptance and change, and working towards your values. It’s based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), in Finland abbreviated HOT, and works as early intervention.

Could StressLess coaching be for you?

  • StressLess coaching provides early support. It’s not therapy or psychiatric treatment. Prior experience of practising mindfulness is not required.
  • You’ll need to attend all group sessions and do the exercises between the sessions.

Implementation

  • Groups can be organized both remotely and locally.
  • 8-12 students are enrolled in each group.
  • A group convenes 8 times, usually once a week, 1.5 hours at a time. Please check with the group leader for exact meeting weeks and days, as some of the groups may have break weeks. 
  • If you will be absent, please remember to notify a group leader well in advance.
