Train

Psychologically informed training for the way people actually work.

Work can be demanding, uncertain, interpersonal, emotional and occasionally absurd.

Good workplace training should acknowledge that.

Dr Ash King designs and delivers evidence-informed psychological training that helps people better understand themselves, support others and navigate the human challenges that come with doing difficult and ambitious work.

Sessions combine psychological science with practical strategies, conversation and real-world application. No clinical lectures. No wellbeing theatre. Just useful psychology translated for actual workplaces.

Training is available in person and online, from focused 60-minute sessions through to half-day intensives and ongoing organisational programs.

Sustainable Performance

How do we continue doing good work without continually running ourselves into the ground?

Training can explore:

Stress & nervous system regulation
Burnout prevention & recovery
Boundaries & sustainable work
Self-care that works in the real world
Motivation & goal-setting
Procrastination
Working effectively under pressure

Ideal for organisations wanting to support performance and wellbeing without treating them as competing priorities.

Communication & Psychological Safety

Healthy workplaces depend on people’s ability to communicate when things aren’t easy.

Training can explore:

Communication & conflict
Difficult conversations
Setting and respecting boundaries
Psychological safety
Supporting colleagues in distress
Listening skills
De-escalation
Navigating emotionally charged interactions

Sessions focus on practical skills people can use when conversations become uncomfortable, uncertain or high stakes.

Leadership & Wellbeing

Managers are increasingly expected to support the psychological wellbeing of their teams, often without ever having been taught how.

Leadership training helps managers understand what sits within their role, how to recognise when someone may be struggling, how to respond safely and compassionately, and how everyday leadership behaviours influence workplace wellbeing.

Topics can include:

Leading psychologically safer teams
Recognising and responding to distress
Supporting without becoming the therapist
Communication under pressure
Boundaries and role clarity
Sustainable leadership
Understanding psychosocial pressures at work

Working Under Pressure

Some workplaces carry unusually high emotional, cognitive or operational demands.

Ash develops psychologically informed training for people working with tight deadlines, difficult material, high expectations, uncertainty or emotionally demanding situations.

Sessions can explore micro-regulation, emotional load, cumulative stress, decompression, de-escalation and sustainable ways of working when the pressure can’t simply be removed.

Creativity at Work

Creativity isn’t reserved for people who own suspicious numbers of black t-shirts.

It shapes innovation, problem-solving, adaptability and how organisations respond when the old answers stop working.

Drawing on Ash’s experience across psychology and creative industries, training can explore:

Creativity & wellbeing
Psychological conditions for creative thinking
Imposter syndrome
Motivation
Procrastination
Identity & creative work
Working with uncertainty and experimentation

ORGANISATIONAL SERIES

A tailored sequence of sessions delivered across several months.

Rather than treating wellbeing as a once-a-year event, an organisational series can build knowledge and skills progressively across themes such as sustainable performance, communication, leadership and psychological safety.

Sessions can be accompanied by bespoke digital resources, practical toolkits and supporting content to help learning travel beyond the room.

Training built around your people.

Every workplace has its own culture, pressures and peculiarities.

Existing sessions can be adapted to suit your organisation, or Ash can design bespoke training around a particular workforce, challenge or wellbeing priority.
