Workplace anxiety, stress and burnout training built on a method, not an awareness day.
Workshops, the six-week STILL Shift programme, trauma informed and anxiety informed manager training, and internal certification for organisations that want their people to leave with tools they use the following week.
Tools, not theory
The STILL Method is a five-step framework: Stop, Talk, Imagine, Listen, Learn. It is built to be used in the moment anxiety appears, by the person feeling it and by the manager sitting opposite them.
Every programme is built around what is happening in your organisation rather than delivered identically to every room, and every participant leaves with something they can use the same week. Managers get a response they can give, instead of a referral they have to make.

Manager training
Middle managers carry the greatest mental health load in most organisations, and most have never been trained for it. Both programmes are half a day and can be run on their own or alongside a workshop or STILL Shift.
Trauma informed manager training
Half day, for managers and leadersTeaches managers to recognise how trauma shows up at work, in performance, communication and behaviour, and to respond without causing further harm. Covers safe language, psychological safety, and clear boundaries around what a manager handles themselves and what they escalate.
Anxiety informed management training
Half day, for managers and leadersGives managers a practical framework for supporting anxious team members day to day: the conversation, the workload, and their own capacity. Covers anxiety linked to AI change, from job security fears to adopting new tools.
Workshop topics
Anxiety and stress at work
Half or full dayWhat anxiety is, why it shows up at work, and what managers can do the moment they see it. Threat detection, the stress response, and practical tools for creating environments where people can think clearly.
Neurodiversity in the workplace
Half dayA nervous system-led understanding of ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia at work. Practical adjustments from day one. No diagnosis required to begin.
Emotional regulation for teams
Half or full dayWhy some people escalate under pressure and others shut down. What emotional regulation means at work, and how managers can support it without stepping into a therapeutic role.
Grief in the workplace
Half dayBereavement, redundancy grief, relationship breakdown and team loss. A clear framework for managers supporting people through loss without overstepping.
Sleep and performance
Half dayThe relationship between sleep, the nervous system and performance at work. What poor sleep does to decision-making, emotional regulation and error rates, and practical tools for immediate use.
Psychological safety
Half or full dayWhat psychological safety means in practice. Why nervous systems need to feel safe before people can think creatively, take risks or tell the truth. How managers build it and what quietly erodes it.
There is a tangible difference in the people who have taken part in the STILL Method sessions. There seems to be an inner calmness. They are less worried and do not get as phased by changes. Teacher, educational setting
Stuart Thompson, founder
Stuart created the STILL Method from more than 25 years of practice as a social worker, therapist and anxiety specialist. His own experience living with brittle bone disease and significant hearing loss shaped the thinking behind it: anxiety is not a weakness. It is a nervous system doing its job in an environment that was not designed with it in mind.
