Built on the MHFA England framework. ALGEE, the early signs of common conditions, suicide first aid, workplace duty of care, and look after yourself in the role.
1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue this year. In a team of 50, that's 12 people. None of them want to talk about it at work, unless someone in the room is trained to have the conversation without making it weird, without trying to fix it, and without telling anyone they shouldn't.
This workshop is aligned to the MHFA England curriculum, the framework that underpins virtually every credible workplace mental health first aid training in the UK. We deliver it as an NCFE-aligned full-day session. Every delegate receives a workbook, signposting card and an NCFE-certified completion record.
The day is built around real workplace scenarios. Pairs practise the conversation using ALGEE on real cases (anonymised), walk through suicide first aid carefully, and leave with a clear sense of what they will and won't do in the role, plus the practitioner's number for the inevitable difficult conversation in the months after.
Aligned to MHFA England curriculum (NCFE-recognised)Every TESS workshop is designed backwards from the change you want to see in your team's behaviour. Here's what coaching graduates do differently on the Monday after.
Approach, Listen, Give info, Encourage help, Encourage self-care, drilled on real cases.
Anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, psychosis, recognise without labelling.
The active listening discipline that holds space, without rescuing, fixing or filling silences.
Direct questions, safety planning, escalation, the most important hour of the day.
A workplace signposting card you'll keep on your phone, and the discipline of NOT trying to be the therapist.
Supervision, reflective practice, the patterns that lead to burnout in the role, and the boundaries that prevent it.
Full-day format shown. The half-day version focuses on the morning blocks with a condensed live round at the end.
Genuinely the first time I've left a coaching course able to do it on Monday. The live rounds with feedback made the difference. My 1:1s have completely changed shape.
Pricing depends on group size, delivery mode (live online vs in-person) and whether we tailor the curriculum to your sector. Closed cohorts start from a few hundred pounds per delegate for half-day workshops and scale from there. Book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll give you a concrete figure within 24 hours.
Mental Health First Aid is a full-day workshop by design, the MHFA England curriculum needs the time to be safe. We don't offer a half-day version because the suicide first aid content and the supervision content would be unsafe to compress. Two-day Adult MHFA Champion certification is available as a separate, longer programme.
We're flexible. Most cohorts run with 10–20 delegates, but we regularly deliver for smaller groups of 2–4, particularly for senior teams or specialised sectors. The live coaching rounds work better with even numbers, but we'll make any group work.
Live online is our default and works well for coaching, breakout rooms make the practice rounds work cleanly. We also deliver in-person at your site or a venue you choose, particularly when the cohort already work in the same room.
Typical lead time from a first call to delivery is 2–4 weeks. We can move faster if you need to, the limiting factor is usually your calendar, not ours.
Yes. The frameworks (GROW, TGROW, observable behaviours) stay the same; the examples, exercises and case studies are tailored to your sector, tools and your team's real work. We discuss this on the discovery call and rebrief the practitioner before delivery.
Yes. Every delegate receives a CPD-certified digital certificate on completion. The certificate references the hours of learning and the frameworks covered, so it can be added directly to a CPD record for any chartered or professional body.
We allocate a TESS coaching practitioner based on your sector. All practitioners are independently qualified coaches (ILM Level 5 or equivalent) with active corporate coaching practices. We'll send the named practitioner's bio after the discovery call.
Two ways in. Book a 30-minute discovery call below, or fill out the form and we'll reply within 24 hours with cohort options for your group.
