Training Courses & Workshops

Professional, research-informed training and workshops created for leaders, managers, and teams.

At Maple Wellbeing, we believe that healthy organisations are built on healthy people. That means going beyond tick-box training and creating learning experiences that genuinely shift how people think, feel, and show up at work.

Our trainings and workshops are designed and delivered by a qualified psychotherapist with deep expertise in workplace wellbeing, human behaviour, and organisational culture. Everything we offer is grounded in psychological research, shaped by real-world experience, and built to create lasting change — not just awareness.

Whether you’re looking to support your managers, upskill your teams, meet compliance requirements, or build a long-term culture of psychological safety — we have a training or workshop for you.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT TRAINING

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.

 

    • 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.

 

    • 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, develop self-awareness around their own stress and mental health, and build the foundations of a management style that is sustainable, boundaried, and psychologically informed.

 

    • 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 & Remote Teams — The Mental Health Dimension

Hybrid working has changed the psychological landscape of work in ways most organisations are still catching up with. This training equips managers with the awareness and tools 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.

 

    • Understand the specific mental health risks associated with hybrid and remote working

    • Recognise the signs of isolation, disconnection, and digital burnout in remote team members

    • Develop practical strategies for maintaining psychological safety across distributed teams

    • Hold meaningful check-ins that go beyond task management

    • Build a team culture where people feel seen and connected — regardless of where 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, reduce stigma, and ensure that menopause never becomes a reason someone feels they can’t perform or stay in work.

 

    • 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 with the psychological understanding and practical tools to identify conflict early, intervene with confidence, and facilitate resolution in a way that strengthens rather than damages working relationships. Because how a manager handles conflict sets the tone for the entire team.

 

    • Understand the psychological dynamics that drive conflict between individuals and within teams

    • Recognise the early warning signs of conflict before it becomes entrenched

    • Apply a structured, psychologically informed approach to mediating disputes

    • Navigate emotionally charged conversations without taking sides or losing authority

    • Build a team culture where disagreement is handled openly, fairly, and without fear

Employee Training

Resilience & 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.

 

    • 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 periods of change or uncertainty

Working with Challenging Clients (anger, pushiness, frustration)

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.

 

    • 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 & 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, and helps teams understand how culture, bias, and belonging affect people differently.

 

    • 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 & Tackling 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, recognise it in themselves and others, and take meaningful steps toward genuine connection.

 

    • 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 reach out and create inclusion without waiting for a policy





Anti-Bullying & Anti-Harassment for Employees

Everyone deserves to feel safe at work. This training helps employees understand exactly what bullying and harassment look like, what they can do if they experience or witness it, and how they play an active role in maintaining a respectful, dignified workplace.

Learning outcomes:
  • Understand the definitions of bullying, harassment, and victimisation
  • Recognise the difference between conflict, rudeness, and misconduct
  • Know their rights and the reporting options available to them
  • Understand the role of the bystander — and how to act with confidence
  • Feel empowered to speak up, seek support, and contribute to a safe culture
