How can we design workplaces that support wellbeing and create meaningful impact?

To design workplaces that support wellbeing and create meaningful impact, we must move beyond surface-level fixes and embed healing at the heart of how we work. This means rethinking systems, relationships, and culture through a trauma-informed, values-led lens.

Healing-Centred Design offers a pathway—combining creative coaching, reflective practice, and co-designed tools to build workplaces where care and purpose align. By inviting staff into honest reflection, reshaping decision-making processes, and centring emotional safety, organisations can mend what doesn’t work and nurture sustainable change.

In 2025 we are working with organisations including In-Situ and Burnside Centre to become Healing-Centred Workplaces. In-Situ is a “quietly radical, embedded arts organisation, producing socially and locally relevant art that makes a positive difference to everyday lives.” Burnside Centre provides “a new way of thinking about how community engagement, co-creation and partnerships are developed for the betterment of all people.”

We are working with organisations who believe when we prioritise people as much as outcomes, we create the conditions for powerful, purposeful social change work.
