LECTURES, WORKSHOPS, AND TRAININGS FOR ORGANISATIONS
Through trainings, workshops, and lectures, we share insights from various fields of psychology and help people gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others. With practical exercises, shared experiences, case studies, and interactive exchange, participants learn how to manage stress, improve relationships, build self-confidence, increase efficiency, and overcome limiting beliefs and habits.
Good mental health is a foundation for stronger relationships, higher motivation, greater productivity, lower absenteeism, and overall employee satisfaction, all of which support a healthier and more successful workplace.
In a relaxed setting, participants reflect on their own patterns of functioning, learn more about themselves and others, and discover ways to reach inner calm and balance. They gain insight into what strengthening mental health really means, which areas of life it affects, and how to care for it in everyday life.
The workshop actively contributes to workplace health promotion and a positive organisational climate.

Stress management and burnout prevention
Stress is an inevitable part of everyday life and affects our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It can arise from fast-paced lifestyles, work overload, personal thought patterns, relationships, and unexpected changes.
When stress remains unmanaged, it can lead to fatigue, exhaustion, burnout, or other health challenges. Even when we know stress management is important, breaking the cycle of tension is often difficult.

Relaxation techniques
When we are under constant stress, the body stays in a state of high alert - rapid heartbeat, tense muscles, shallow breathing, and restless thoughts.Prolonged stress response causes exhaustion, lowers resilience, and can lead to chronic problems.
The key to well-being is activating the relaxation response—the opposite of stress—which lets the body regenerate, restore balance, and calm down.In this workshop, participants will learn how to consciously activate the relaxation response and practice effective deep relaxation techniques that restore peace and vitality to both body and mind.

Working with Different Personality Types
Good workplace relationships are a key foundation of a successful environment - they foster greater trust, stronger team bonds, and higher efficiency in collaborative work.In organisations where employees better understand themselves and others, constructive communication, creativity, and successful goal achievement are far more likely.
By contrast, poor relationships can result in destructive conflicts, low motivation, more errors, and declining engagement.The key to strong cooperation lies in recognizing differences, being aware of our own ways of functioning, and developing skills for clear, respectful, and flexible communication with different personality types.
Workshop content:
IDENTIFYING DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES, their behaviors, and needs.
UNDERSTANDING HOW YOU FUNCTION, emotions, and behavior patterns.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING TRUST and collaboration through probing questions and active listening.

Self-image in the workplace
A healthy self-image is a key foundation of mental health, personal stability, and professional success.When we hold a realistic yet positive view of ourselves and recognize our strengths, we are more likely to embrace new challenges, feel confident, solve problems more easily, and communicate and collaborate more effectively with others.
In the workshop, we explore how self-image is formed, what influences it, why it sometimes weakens, and how to strengthen it with various supportive techniques and approaches.

Psychology and food
Eating is not just a physiological need – it is also an emotional, social, and cultural experience. In today’s fast-paced life, we often slip into unhealthy eating habits, while the online world overwhelms us with advice on what is right or wrong.Our relationship with food begins to form very early in life and is shaped by beliefs, habits, messages from the environment, and experiences.
This workshop offers a comprehensive look at the psychological factors that shape eating and provides practical tools and techniques for long-term improvement of one’s relationship with food.
Content:
SOCIAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, CULTURAL, AND BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF EATING (why and how we eat).
RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD (how beliefs and habits affect food choices, common limiting beliefs and behaviors about eating, and how to change them).
EATING HABITS (how they are formed, how they tie into other areas of life, and practical strategies for a healthier relationship with food).
EMOTIONAL EATING (how to distinguish hunger from emotions and develop effective strategies for managing emotional eating).
MINDFUL EATING (how to eat more consciously and enjoy food).
Benefits for participants:
Better understanding of one’s relationship with food and the background of food choices.
Debunking myths and common limiting beliefs about food.
Practical techniques for healthier eating habits without strict rules or guilt.
Strategies for managing emotional eating.
Support in building a more balanced relationship with food.

Customised workshops and trainings
Every organisation is unique – with its own goals, relationships, work dynamics, and challenges. A customised workshop offers a comprehensive approach to the topics the organisation needs most at a given moment. Following prior agreement and, if needed, in-depth analysis, we design a program focused on specific challenges (e.g., managing change, giving feedback, addressing anxiety or depression, resolving conflicts).
Drawing on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychological and communication methods, and experiential exercises (role play, reflection, outdoor activities), we structure the workshop so participants build practical skills and strategies they can apply at work.

The content is tailored to the organisation’s needs and the chosen topic.

The BRST Psychology lecture on stress was excellent. We often hear a lot about stress, but the presenters finally explained simple and practical solutions for recognizing and managing stressful situations in a clear and accessible way. I realized that I’m sometimes not even aware when I’m under too much stress—now I recognize it better, and I’m trying to incorporate the exercises they shared into

I am very grateful for all the knowledge I gained during the sessions and have since implemented in my everyday life. I learned how to cognitively restructure my thoughts, became aware of my needs around habits, and discovered ways to successfully establish new ones. I also learned relaxation techniques that I use daily, as well as what I can do myself to create a more supportive environment.

I decided to join BRST Psychology programs because I wanted to get to know myself better and step outside my comfort zone by allowing myself to be vulnerable, even among unfamiliar faces. Since starting the program, I’ve noticed that I am gentler with myself, judge myself less, overthink much less, and better understand why and how I function the way I do.

I decided to join BRST Psychology programs because I wanted to get to know myself better and step outside my comfort zone by allowing myself to be vulnerable, even among unfamiliar faces. Since starting the program, I’ve noticed that I am gentler with myself, judge myself less, overthink much less, and better understand why and how I function the way I do.
Throughout the sessions, I gained many insights about myself, and above all, practical and useful tools on how to help myself. Kaja led the workshops exceptionally well—what I appreciated most was that she truly listened to us and adapted the program to our needs and wishes. I also loved that everything took place in such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
A wonderful experience!
