A fictional participant predicts that asking a question will lead to criticism. The group makes that prediction specific and designs a small experiment — including what evidence to observe — to test it out.

Stephen founded The Tuesday Chapter after a career in emergency services and leadership, working with people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. That experience led him to train in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
He is a Registered Member of BACP (MBACP) and Disclosure Scotland’s PVG scheme, and holds the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work, which is based on the HSE Management Standards for work-related stress.
The Tuesday Chapter offers workshops for staff and managers on anxiety, depression, stress in the workplace, burnout and coping strategies. Sessions introduce cognitive behavioural therapy and explore how CBT methods can help people understand patterns and develop practical responses to everyday difficulties.
Workshops are available in person across South Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow, and online. Based in East Kilbride, The Tuesday Chapter invites organisations and groups to discuss their learning needs so the content and delivery can be agreed around the audience.
Each workshop introduces a CBT method through clear explanation and fictional examples, so participants can apply the ideas to everyday life.
Anxiety workshops explore worry, anxious predictions and avoidance, with examples of how to test a prediction through a manageable behavioural experiment.
Depression workshops introduce the relationship between low mood and withdrawal, including how activity planning can help people reconnect with meaningful routines.
Workplace stress and burnout workshops explore demands, boundaries and recovery, alongside the expectations people place on themselves.
Coping strategies sessions introduce methods such as problem-solving, reviewing unhelpful interpretations and choosing achievable next steps.
The Introduction to CBT explains how thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions can interact.

These examples introduce methods that participants can discuss in relation to everyday life — using fictional scenarios so no one is asked to share personal experiences.
Participants explore a fictional person who believes that asking for help shows weakness and keeps taking on more work. The group identifies the thought, emotional response and action, then considers a more balanced interpretation and a practical step — such as clarifying priorities with a manager.
