About us

Ian Barratt is the founder and Director of Mind Strengths and a qualified stress management consultant. With a background spanning many years working for blue chip companies in London & New York, Ian had a complete career change in 2003 and trained as a corporate stress manager.

Ian's expertise is teaching positive stress management techniques. Working with groups of around 8-10 employees, or on a 1-1 coaching basis, Ian is able to recognise where the stress problems are and can then give employees the required tools and techniques to enable them to build a self-help programme.

To ensure that we give clients the best advice, guidance and support, Mind Strengths will only use the services of qualified stress management consultants and counsellors in our work with clients. With our wealth of experience, we can help identify cases of iceberg stress (the bit underneath you may not know about) thereby saving you time, money and sometimes a lot of unnecessary pressure.

Ian writes regular articles for newspapers, magazines and company intranets, both in the UK and overseas and has spoken on local radio. Ian also has extensive experience of public speaking so please contact us if you would like him to be available for speaking engagements at conferences, seminars, team building events and other such functions.
