Why "Maple"
The strength people see rests on work nobody sees.
A maple tree's strength starts underground, in root work nobody sees. Workplace wellbeing is the same. The performance and resilience people notice all rest on unseen foundations: how people are supported, how safe they feel to be honest, and how well an organisation understands its own emotional undercurrents.
Maple Wellbeing grew out of years spent consulting and coaching executive teams and managers, and seeing that staff at every level need a better understanding of how mental health drives productivity and resilience.
We do that underground work, so people, teams, and the whole organisation can flourish together.
Training and workshops
Learning that genuinely shifts how people show up at work.
Professional, research-informed training created for leaders, managers, and teams. Grounded in psychological research, shaped by real-world experience, and built to create lasting change, not just awareness.
We can create training on bespoke topics upon request, and we can also tailor the length and format of the training to suit the needs of your organisation.
We offer both stand-alone training sessions and longer training programmes, delivered over a period of time or a number of sessions, which can be rolled out across the entire company.
For the people your people report to
Managers are often the first to notice when something's wrong, and the least equipped for what comes next. These sessions give them language, confidence, and practical tools.
+Mental Health Awareness for Managers
Your managers are often the first to notice when something's wrong, but most have never been trained on what to do next. This training gives managers the language, confidence, and practical tools to have genuinely supportive conversations about mental health, without overstepping or getting it wrong.
Learning outcomes
- Recognise early warning signs of poor mental health in team members
- Hold supportive, boundaried conversations with confidence
- Understand the difference between managing and advising, and when to signpost professional help
- Reduce stigma within their teams through everyday language and behaviours
- Know their legal and ethical responsibilities as a manager
+Preventing Burnout in High-Pressure Roles
Burnout doesn't happen overnight, and by the time it's visible, it's already costly. This training helps managers understand the psychological drivers of burnout, recognise it in themselves and others, and build team cultures where sustainable performance is the standard, not the exception.
Learning outcomes
- Identify the three stages of burnout and the warning signs at each
- Distinguish between healthy pressure and harmful chronic stress
- Audit their own management practices for burnout risk factors
- Implement practical strategies to protect their team's capacity
- Create psychological conditions that support long-term performance
+Psychological Wellbeing for New Managers
The transition into management is one of the most psychologically demanding career shifts a person can make, yet most new managers receive no support for it. This training helps new and recently promoted managers understand the emotional weight of leadership and build a sustainable, boundaried, psychologically informed management style.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the psychological shift that comes with moving into a management role
- Recognise the signs of imposter syndrome, anxiety, and over-responsibility in themselves
- Build healthy professional boundaries from the outset
- Develop a sustainable approach to the emotional labour of managing people
- Understand how their own mental health directly affects their team's wellbeing
+Managing Hybrid and Remote Teams
Hybrid working has changed the psychological landscape of work in ways most organisations are still catching up with. This training equips managers to support the mental health and connection needs of dispersed teams, addressing isolation, communication breakdowns, and the invisible emotional labour of working away from the office.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the specific mental health risks of hybrid and remote working
- Recognise the signs of isolation, disconnection, and digital burnout
- Develop practical strategies for psychological safety across distributed teams
- Hold meaningful check-ins that go beyond task management
- Build a team culture where people feel seen and connected, wherever they work
+Menopause Awareness for Managers
Menopause affects a significant portion of the workforce, and the psychological symptoms are among the most disruptive and least understood. This training gives managers the knowledge, sensitivity, and practical tools to support colleagues through this transition and reduce stigma.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the psychological and emotional symptoms of menopause, not just the physical
- Recognise how menopause can affect confidence, concentration, anxiety, and mood at work
- Hold sensitive, boundaried conversations without making assumptions
- Know what reasonable adjustments look like and how to implement them
- Contribute to a culture where menopause is spoken about openly and without shame
+Conflict Resolution for Managers
Unresolved conflict doesn't disappear. It goes underground, eroding trust, performance, and team cohesion. This training equips managers to identify conflict early, intervene with confidence, and facilitate resolution in a way that strengthens working relationships.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the psychological dynamics that drive conflict in teams
- Recognise the early warning signs before conflict becomes entrenched
- Apply a structured, psychologically informed approach to mediating disputes
- Navigate emotionally charged conversations without taking sides or losing authority
- Build a culture where disagreement is handled openly, fairly, and without fear
For every level of the organisation
Practical, evidence-based sessions that help employees understand themselves, support each other, and stay well under real-world pressure.
+Resilience and Stress Management
Pressure is part of working life, but chronic stress doesn't have to be. This training goes beyond generic coping tips and helps employees genuinely understand their stress responses, so they can build lasting resilience that works for them inside and outside of work.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the psychological and physiological impact of stress
- Identify personal stress triggers and early warning signs
- Build a toolkit of evidence-based strategies for managing pressure
- Develop a sustainable approach to workload and energy management
- Strengthen emotional resilience during change or uncertainty
+Working with Challenging Clients
Difficult interactions are inevitable, but they don't have to be draining. This training gives frontline staff the psychological tools to stay calm under pressure, de-escalate tense situations, and maintain professionalism without absorbing stress long after the interaction ends.
Learning outcomes
- Understand why clients become aggressive or frustrated, and what's driving it
- Stay regulated in high-pressure interactions using practical grounding techniques
- Apply proven de-escalation approaches with confidence
- Set and maintain professional boundaries without escalating conflict
- Protect their own wellbeing after difficult encounters
+Diversity, Inclusion and Mental Health
True inclusion means recognising that people's identities and lived experiences shape how they show up, and how safe they feel, at work. This training explores the real intersections between diversity, inclusion, and mental health.
Learning outcomes
- Understand how identity and lived experience influence mental health at work
- Recognise the psychological impact of exclusion, microaggressions, and bias
- Develop more inclusive everyday behaviours and communication
- Contribute to a culture where difference is respected, not just tolerated
- Feel equipped to challenge exclusionary behaviour when they see it
+Loneliness Awareness and Workplace Isolation
Loneliness at work is one of the most under-discussed wellbeing challenges of our time, and hybrid working has made it worse. This training helps employees and teams understand the impact of workplace isolation and take meaningful steps toward genuine connection.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the psychological and physical effects of workplace loneliness
- Recognise the signs of isolation in colleagues, including remote workers
- Identify barriers to connection and how to address them
- Build simple habits that foster belonging within their team
- Feel empowered to create inclusion without waiting for a policy

Everyone deserves to feel safe at work. This training helps employees understand exactly what bullying and harassment look like, what to do if they experience or witness it, and the active role everyone plays in maintaining a respectful, dignified workplace.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the definitions of bullying, harassment, and victimisation
- Recognise the difference between conflict, rudeness, and misconduct

The root moment
What's showing above ground?
Pick what you're seeing in your organisation. We'll show you what usually sits underneath it, and where to start.
Underneath
Symptoms are the part you can see.
Burnout, conflict, absence, and turnover are what surface. The causes are almost always in how people are supported, how safe they feel to be honest, and whether managers know what to do. Choose one on the left to see what usually sits beneath it.
Employee counselling and psychotherapy
A person, not a phone line.
Most counselling lines go unused because nobody trusts them. This service is different by design: a qualified psychotherapist, direct and private booking, and no employer involvement in the content of any session.
When employees are struggling, with stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, professional confidential support makes all the difference. Not just for them: mental health problems account for over 50% of all long-term sickness absence in the UK, and poor mental health is estimated to cost UK employers around £51 billion a year, and Deloitte puts the return at about £4.70 for every £1 spent on support.
It suits organisations that don't have an Employee Assistance Programme, or whose EAP is underused or impersonal, and teams navigating change, restructure, or increased pressure who want a more human, relational alternative to automated or phone-based counselling.
Confidentiality, in one line: session content is never shared with the employer under any circumstances. Organisations receive periodic anonymised uptake data only. Maneet Relom is a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and every session is delivered under the BACP ethical framework with regular clinical supervision.

A message from the founder
People don't struggle in isolation.
I started Maple Wellbeing because I kept seeing the same thing, across clinical rooms, community work, and organisations of every size: people don't struggle in isolation. Wellbeing is shaped by relationships, by systems, and by the cultures we work within, not just by individual resilience.
Over the past year alone, I've had the privilege of working with over 200 organisations across the corporate, public, and voluntary sectors, reaching thousands of employees, managers, and leaders through national, international, and global training. That work has shown me, again and again, that when organisations listen, lead, and respond to vulnerability with care, they become more sustainable, more humane, and more effective. When they don't, it shows up as burnout, conflict, disengagement, and turnover.
My approach brings together therapeutic insight and organisational awareness. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel psychologically safe, understood, and supported, and when organisations are willing to reflect honestly on their own cultures and dynamics, not just individual performance. That belief sits behind everything Maple Wellbeing does.
Who you'll work with
Psychotherapist first. Trainer second. Tick-box never.
Maneet Relom is the Senior Consultant and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist at Maple Wellbeing, bringing a depth-oriented, relational approach to workplace mental health. She holds a Master's degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Organisational Dynamics, and her work is grounded in the understanding that emotional wellbeing is always shaped by relationships, systems, and organisational culture, not just individual resilience.
Maneet is a trainee Consultancy Partner at West London Mind, a leading mental health charity, and combines this with extensive experience providing employee therapy, psychological support, and community-based work. Over the past year alone, she has worked with over 200 organisations across the corporate, public, and voluntary sectors, reaching thousands of employees, managers, and leaders through national, international, and global training programmes, from small charities to large corporate and public-sector institutions.
This breadth of experience has given Maneet a nuanced understanding of the emotional realities of modern working life, including burnout, moral distress, role confusion, leadership pressure, and the quiet accumulation of stress that often goes unseen until it becomes overwhelming. Her consistent finding: employee wellbeing is not simply about individual coping strategies. It is shaped by how organisations listen, lead, communicate, and respond to vulnerability. When neglected, this surfaces as sickness absence, conflict, disengagement, and turnover; when taken seriously, organisations become more sustainable, humane, and effective.
Maneet's approach integrates therapeutic insight with organisational awareness, working from the belief that meaningful change happens when people feel psychologically safe, understood, and supported, and when organisations are willing to reflect on their own cultures, systems, and relational dynamics. At Maple Wellbeing, she brings together clinical expertise, strategic thinking, and a strong ethical foundation to help organisations build healthier, more emotionally intelligent workplaces.
Maple Wellbeing is based in London and Stockholm and works with corporate companies globally.

What clients say
Engaged rooms, even the difficult ones.
You handled the specifics of what our division is going through really sensitively, and you managed to make it interactive even though we had 70-odd people scattered around on sites and at home. People were really engaged and got a lot out of it.
Maneet was amazing, very good examples and very good deep dives into concepts. Felt very safe in this session.

Maneet was incredible. Really informative, and gave us all the relevant tools to go forth and support more effectively.
Great training with good involvement of colleagues, and also a very relevant topic to address regularly.
Clear presentation with tangible examples. Not too long and well structured.
