Key Points Covered in Workplace Mental Health Workshops:
1. Managing Anxiety and Stress in Everyday Life
This wellbeing workshop focuses on understanding anxiety and stress while equipping participants with practical techniques to manage and reduce their difficulties. A focus will be on helping you understand which elements in your environment or within yourself make your difficulties improve or decline whilst also helping you gain more insight into the nature of your difficulties.
2. Building Resilience and Emotional Strength
Resilience prevents you from running away when things get hard whilst being able to live a happier and more successful life. This does not mean that one bears the brunt of life’s challenges in silence, but instead finds ways to effectively deal with these.
A focus is on teaching strategies for strengthening emotional resilience, adapt to change, how to recover from setbacks and much more. Participants will gain useful insights whilst learning tools that are not overly complex and adjusted towards them. What we cover will ideally become second nature. No one will think of complex techniques when they are stressed.
3. Workplace Wellness: Enhancing Productivity and Mental Health
Tailored for organizations, we will addresses how mental health directly affects workplace performance. It will be explored how to manage workplace stress, prevent burnout and how fostering a culture of mental well-being directly relates to what employees can improve both within and outside of the workplace. This helps companies looking to support their employees with practical insights and solutions.
4. Perfectionism: Overcoming the Pressure to Be Perfect
We will dive deep into common issues that can cause distress. Perfectionism and excessive responsibility are common themes that provide a heavy burden on self-esteem and productivity. Participants will learn about their idiosyncratic issues, understand what to do about it whilst adopting healthier standards for success and a more meaningful life.
Why Attend?
My workshops make use of years of experience of running workshops for high performers as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, whilst giving you practical elements to engage in hands-on learning. The style of CBT I use (UCL Case Formulation Model) is very different to what is generally practised in the UK and allows for a tailored workshop approach.
My mental health workshops are tailored towards a given setting and provide interactive, practical and accessible solutions that everyone can benefit from.

Workshop Material
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is an approach to psychotherapy that emphasises the importance of compassion in promoting mental health. CFT emphasises three emotional regulation systems: The Threat System, the Drive System, and the Soothing/Connection System. These systems can be effectively employed in mental health workshops in order to help employees manage stress and build resilience. Below is an example of how these systems can be applied in corporate workshops:
1. Threat System
What it is:
The threat system is our survival mechanism that is designed to navigate a threatening environment. It triggers emotions like fear, anxiety and anger and starts other beneficial threat related instances in the body. In the workplace, this system can be overactivated due to many reasons, be it high-pressure deadlines or interpersonal conflicts.
Example in the Workplace:
An employee feels overwhelmed about an upcoming project deadline. Their threat system is activated which leads to procrastination and arguments with those around them.
Application in Workshops:
Teach employees to recognize when their threat system is activated (e.g., physical signs like a racing heart or emotional signs like irritability) and what they can then do it in order to improve things.
2. Drive System
What it is:
The drive system motivates us to achieve goals and seek rewards. Associated emotions are excitement and accomplishment. However, over-reliance on this system can lead to burnout or workaholism.
Example in the Workplace:
An employee is motivated to meet sales targets and works long hours in order to achieve them. While they feel a sense of accomplishment, they also experience exhaustion and problems in other areas of their life which they may be neglecting.
3. Soothing/Connection System
What it is:
The soothing system is associated with feelings of safety, calm, and connection. It is activated when we feel cared for, supported, or connected to others. This system helps regulate stress and promotes emotional resilience.
Example in the Workplace:
An employee feels supported by their team after a difficult project. They experience a sense of belonging and calm, which helps them recover from stress.
Workshops can help you successfully manage respective emotional systems in order to achieve increased wellbeing in both your work and private life.
