Gill Ward qualified as a stress counsellor in 1990. She works freelance in the Sutton Coldfield area. She is a former member of the Psychoneuroimmunologist Brain Immune Network Group (BING) and the Scientific and Medical Network Group.

Gill was invited to be on the consultation lists of the Food Standards Agency after alerting the authorities to the fact that excessive fibre intake can cause health problems. She has written her own Fibre Balanced Diet after guidance from Lyndel Costain, a leading consultant dietician and Gill Fine, a former Company nutritionist for Sainsbury's.

Gill formed her own business Stress Focus and Prevention in 2003 after making two DVDs:  Bereavement- A self help guide from Gill Ward Stress Counsellor; and  Don't Panic! Your self help guide to stress management. She has developed a prevention technique for the Void Effect which is demonstrated on the DVDs. In addition, she has developed a coping technique to control panic attacks which is shown on both of her DVDs.

Image Replacement Therapy (IRT) is a new technique for those suffering from bereavement or other traumas. A detailed copy of IRT is available for those who may be interested. Gill also has a new cognitive technique which may be of interest to appropriate counsellors. For further information please contact Gill via stressfocus@btinternet.com
