Manager Session

Anxiety Training for Managers

Raise awareness of workplace anxiety, recognise team members who may be struggling, and develop the skills and confidence to offer appropriate, effective support.

Why This Matters

Anxiety is the most common mental health challenge in UK workplaces — and it’s often invisible

Many people experiencing workplace anxiety don’t disclose it — they withdraw, underperform, or burnout instead. Managers who know the signs can intervene early and make a real difference.

How It Works

How Anxiety Training for Managers is delivered

Tailored to your organisation’s specific context — not a generic awareness session delivered off the shelf.

1

Tailored Onboarding

We start by understanding the nature of your managers’ roles, the sector you work in, and the kinds of anxiety-related situations they’re most likely to encounter — so the session is grounded in their reality.

2

Training Delivery

An evidence-based, interactive session delivered onsite or online. Managers leave with practical tools, clear language, and greater confidence — not just theoretical knowledge.

3

Sustained Impact

Post-training workbooks and feedback help managers reinforce what they’ve learned and apply it consistently in their day-to-day conversations and team management.
