Healthy performance does not require working harder and harder, but recognizing where pressure arises in a timely manner. Centrum voor Stressmanagement helps organizations gain insight into work-related stress, overload, and absenteeism risks, and address them in a targeted way.
We combine knowledge, measurements, and personal guidance with solutions that fit daily practice.
Making stress manageable begins with understanding what is going on
Our mission
We aim to help organizations identify stress and overload earlier and prevent them as much as possible.
In doing so, we look beyond individual complaints. Workload, leadership, collaboration, recovery, and work organization can also play an important role.
Our mission is to provide organizations with practical tools that enable them to:
A healthy organization is not an organization without stress. Pressure is a natural part of work and can even help people perform well.
It becomes a problem when strain persists for too long and there is insufficient opportunity for recovery.
That is why we believe in an organization where attention to work-related stress and sustainable employability is an integral part of good leadership and employment practice.
By recognizing signals in good time, it becomes clearer where pressure arises and where additional focus is needed.
By looking at patterns and root causes, organizations can take action before issues lead to long-term absence.
The goal is not to eliminate all pressure, but to create a work environment in which performance and recovery remain in healthy balance.
We do not merely address complaints, but focus specifically on what precedes them.
We use data and stress assessments to better understand the current situation and to make informed choices.
Advice only has value when employees and managers can effectively put it into practice.
Healthy working requires commitment from the organization, managers, and employees alike.
Stress management is not a one-off initiative. We help organizations maintain what works over the long term.
Our team combines expertise in psychology, stress management, behavior, and organizational development with years of practical experience.

“The goal is not to eliminate all stress, but to teach people and organizations how to better manage strain and recovery.”
Diana works from a broad perspective on stress management, where personal guidance, prevention, and organizational insight converge. Rather than focusing on a single method, the central question is always what an organization and its people truly need.
Where additional expertise or assessments add value, we collaborate with specialized partners. This enables us to combine insights from stress research, behavioral science, and cognitive load with our own experience in guidance and organizational challenges.
Through the American Institute of Stress, we have access to international expertise in the field of stress and stress management. Neuroscience offers complementary tools to gain deeper insight into behavior and cognitive strain. In addition, the Academie voor Stressmanagement serves as an important foundation for knowledge development, training, and professionalization.
This creates an approach that is methodologically rigorous, yet remains practical and human.
A successful approach begins with insight. During an initial consultation, we would be pleased to discuss the situation within your organization and determine the appropriate next steps.

That you do not let stress dictate how the organization operates. You make workload, recovery, and collaboration open for discussion and manageable, through choices you can sustain.
The Academy provides training and shares knowledge. CVSM translates that expertise into programmes and interventions within organisations, with a focus on measurability, implementation, and safeguarding.
She is the owner/director of the Academy and brings a combination of education (psychology and stress management) and practical experience with stress in healthcare.
Both, but always with safeguarding. Training without changes in agreements and rhythm often leads to relapse. We focus on what continues to work.
For organizations that want to make stress manageable: HR and absence management, management and leaders, teams, and professionals such as occupational health specialists and company physicians.
