Stress Check-in

This short check-in is based on a widely used questionnaire (PSS-10) that helps understand how overwhelmed or stressed you may have been feeling recently.

It offers a snapshot of how you’ve experienced stress over the past month.

It’s not a diagnosis, but it can be a helpful starting point in recognising patterns and understanding your wellbeing.

There are no right or wrong answers—just respond as honestly as you can.
