During the course of my work I have found a number of resources particularly useful, so I am delighted to share some of these with you below;

I recommend Mark Williams, and in particular this Breathing Anchor (8 minutes) and his  3 minute Breathing Space

This is a great self help site: I find it works even better once we have gone through it a few times.  You can download the app, and also have it in several languages from here.
