The philosophy behind CircleSafe
Before you can confidently manage and deal with your stress you need to find out what stresses you and pinpoint the areas that are causing you the most harm.
The CircleSafe confidential ‘life’ test is more than a stress questionnaire it starts you on your journey to make a stress free life your goal. It is not a magic wand, but it supplies you with knowledge; a starting point with recommendations on how to equip yourself to tackle the ups and downs of everyday life which is a major contributor to the stress problem.
Once you find out what stresses you, you need solutions and this is where our Steps for Success program comes in. It is a series of books as well as an online program providing proven psychological tips for helping you realise your true potential and improve your overall well-being.
The combination, in academic terms, is a bio-medical software program. It is a revolutionary approach to personal development helping individuals realise their true potential.
When combined CircleSafe/Steps for Success provides organisations with a method of helping employees work to their true potential thereby benefiting both the individual and the organisation and of course by law:-
‘It is the duty of all employers to ensure that their employees are not made ill by their work. Where stress caused or made worse by work leads to ill health, employers must assess the risk. (HSE Guidance Nov 2001)
CircleSafe covers the required areas of the HSE’s Management Standards relating to stress, namely:-
- Demand

Our research is ongoing and the result of the initial trial in a large public sector organisation are published in British Psychological Society Journal (2003)
‘Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Behaviour modification and Humanistic treatment interventions are long established, as is there increasing use through integrated, eclectic programmes. What are relatively new are attempts to offer such provision online. This study assessed the effectiveness of one such online stress management program’
