By working with our anxiety, we can master our emotions and allay the mental and physical challenges which stop us from leading full lives. Our expert psychologists will teach you how, using a blend of online consultations, video learning and self-assessment exercises.

Low mood is a potentially debilitating experience – in some cases, leading sufferers to refuse all social contact.

The first step to avoid depression is self-awareness, recognising the unhelpful thought patterns and triggers that may lead to behavioural changes. By learning more about ourselves, we can make the first step towards positive change: getting out of negative habits and taking back control of our thoughts.

Our comprehensive blended learning courses will help you to master positive thinking, respond to triggers, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Get started with our accredited programmes:

Psychological resilience is important throughout life. Because it is our ability to mentally and emotionally cope with a crisis and a difficult situation. Resilience is our ability to return to pre-crisis status. But it is not one skill but has many different qualities. All of them helping your mental wellbeing. The most important ones are trained in this course.

In other words, resilience rests on our awareness and courage to acknowledge that challenges and setbacks are part of life. It is our courage to face fears and problems. Incorporate new skills and techniques. Understanding adversity as lived experiences that we can deal with. Be compassionate, giving self-reassurance that stressful events and hard times can be dealt with.

Understand what skills are useful and increase your resilience strength.

Disturbed sleep can happen for any number of reasons. We might be uncomfortable in our environment; we might be plagued with worry, or we might be suffering with chronic pain. Whatever the cause, disturbed sleep can lead to many unpleasant side effects, including poor cognitive function and low moods.

Though some causes may be physical, many problems are rooted in the mind. We need to take a look at ourselves and understand the triggers that are leading to the thoughts that keep us awake. Often, racing thoughts and unhelpful mindsets leave us unable to relax.

By understanding these feelings, we can learn to recognise the triggers and stop them before they take a physical toll on us. Enjoy a silent night with our accredited course.

Find Rest and Better Sleep
Understand the thought patterns that are keeping you up at night and harness physical practices such as Autogenic Training.

Whatever stage we are at in our lives, we should expect to run into conflict – whether it's a conflict with families, friends or in our careers. Disagreements can often stem from miscommunications, lack of understanding between two parties or our own negative narrative around conflict, leading to long-term tension if not resolved.
Using scientifically proven techniques, we can learn how to handle conflict and resolve issues to improve our relationships in all aspects of our lives. Our research-led courses will teach you how to recognise your own reactions and emotions and how you respond to others.
Enjoy a life of better communication with our course on conflict resolution.

Our modern-day lives are causing more stress than ever before – from being constantly connected to trying to juggle work, home, study and our personal lives. The mental and physical symptoms of stress can manifest as unhelpful thoughts, disturbed sleep and lack of focus - to name but a few.

By managing our stress, we can alleviate the physical symptoms and quiet our minds – leading to resilience against future challenges.
