When Work Feels Overwhelming,

Rowan Is Your Personal Reset

The Real Impact of Workplace Stress on You

Mental health is now the #1 reason people miss work. (HSE 2024)

We've all been there – those moments at work when everything feels too much:

  • 1 in 3 of us experience high or extreme stress levels "always" or "often"

  • 1 in 2 of us worry about not being perceived as working hard enough

  • 1 in 2 of us say workplace conflict has affected their mental wellbeing.

These aren't just fleeting moments of pressure. They're the mental load you carry home, the Sunday night dread, the 3 AM thoughts that won't let you sleep.

You deserve better.
