Our WORK WONDERS! service offers a range of specialist responses to the needs of individuals and organisations facing complex challenges in the workplace and in education. These are most relevant in situations where other approaches have not been able to make a significant difference in addressing core concerns.

We engage with the challenges arising to effective work and study, whether they arise from

  • Burnout, or other work-related challenges;
  • A disability including mobility issues, mental and physical health, learning differences (dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD), vision/hearing loss
  • Or from any number of unusual or even unique circumstances affecting daily functioning and responsibilities.

Our work facilitates strategic clarity and nuanced solution-finding, raising awareness and wellbeing beyond compulsive uncertainty, confusion, overwork, and undue strain. We approach this in well-focussed, practical ways, cultivating the foundations for enhancing wellbeing and capabilities in ways that feed in quite naturally into raising performance and creativity.

In laying the groundwork for creative change in the workplace and/or study, changes often ensue in everyday life too. Markers of change arise tangible ways, some very quickly and some steadily over time. Those who work with us often experience reductions in the frequency and intensity of issues, find themselves handling new and interesting challenges. Sometimes, it can be something like the first time that they were able to take their child to the park on a weekend during a major project!
