The Accidental Therapist
In every workplace, people turn to managers, HR teams, and business owners for support—whether it’s stress, mental health struggles, or personal challenges. These conversations are already happening, but without the right tools, they can feel uncertain, overwhelming, or unproductive.
I call this being an ‘Accidental Therapist’—because, without formal training, many professionals find themselves offering support in ways they were never fully prepared for. That’s why I developed the CARE framework—a structured approach to help businesses:
- Have confident, effective mental health conversations
- Recognise when to signpost and ensure ethical support
- Set boundaries while maintaining a culture of care
- Support others without feeling overwhelmed
This training isn’t about turning your team into therapists—it’s about giving your people the skills to handle these conversations with structure, confidence, and impact.
