We'll teach you how to make manageable changes to your everyday life so that you can feel happier and put your wellbeing first. Whether you want to improve your sleep, learn how to manage stress or simply live a healthier and happier lifestyle; our workshops are here to help.

STRESS LESS WITH TALKWORKS

Stress less with TALKWORKS is a two-hour workshop introducing you to a range of techniques to help you manage stress. The workshop is a small introduction to what we can do to help you with your wellbeing.

The workshop covers managing when worry is taking over your life; creating manageable routines and tips to help you get a better night’s sleep. More details on upcoming dates and times are available below.

TALKWORKS FOR WELLBEING Workshops

The course follows a Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach which involves learning how our thoughts, behaviour and feelings interact. Over six sessions you will learn techniques for challenging negative thoughts, changing unhelpful behaviour and dealing with worry. CBT has proven to be very effective for common mental health problems including depression and anxiety.

Your experience with us

Your feedback matters

“I could not fault the service I received. I was listened to and given so many different resources to help my anxiety and depression. I was so very low a year ago but with the amazing support from my therapist I feel more and more myself every day. Thank you TALKWORKS.”

“I was apprehensive about using the service thinking I wasn't "bad" enough but a talk to the cardiac group by a TALKWORKS practitioner gave me confidence to self-refer. I was referred with respect and taken seriously throughout, felt safe and was given tools and advice to help myself take control of my situation.”

“The therapy gently supported me to both understand and come to terms with my diagnosis and how it has impacted on me as a person for so many years. I felt I could be open and honest in a very safe space. I not only feel better, I understand myself better too.”
