We will let our reviews speak for themselves, including our current 100% rate of attendees who would recommend the course to others
Very informative and reaffirming of skills I already had. It was good to work through the stages and see how little things can add up into a wide scope of emotional support
I found the training very helpful and ultimately it was a great reminder to look after yourself. I think people can get very caught up in thinking about everyone else without taking care of themselves first.
Emotional! Very useful, a different way of looking at wellbeing and emotions.
Very helpful and enjoyable. It was a good reminder/refresher of some of the things which I already know, whilst also learning new techniques/ideas.”
I was very pleasantly surprised that the training was focused on me and was not just a management tool. Really enjoyed the time on the course to delve deep and have time to think!
Stress, depression or anxiety now accounts for 52% of all work-related ill health in Great Britain (HSE, 2024/2025)
Only 10% of UK employees are engaged at work (Gallup 2026)
Together, these findings show the need for a more proactive approach to workplace wellbeing, helping people build the emotional awareness and self-care skills needed to look after themselves, support each other and sustain healthier workplace cultures.
