Our Aims & Approach

RealChange exists to empower human flourishing across essential services, leadership, and corporate settings.

We work with individuals and organisations doing vital - and often high pressure - work in sectors like health, housing, social care, the arts, and business. Whether on the front line or in leadership, we help people reconnect to their purpose, resilience, and potential. Our aim is to offer practical, emotionally intelligent training that helps people thrive — both professionally and personally.

Real Learning

We believe learning is one of the greatest sources of meaning in life. From birth, we are on a journey of physical, psychological, and social development — and that journey never truly ends. Real learning means refining what we know, making space for new understanding, and having the courage to step out of our comfort zones.

Our training supports this process by drawing on:

  • The Human Givens Approach — a framework for understanding human wellbeing through meeting emotional needs and developing innate and acquired personal resources resources and talents..

  • The Bio-Psycho-Social Model — recognising that people are shaped by their biology, psychology, and social context. Making sense of this is key.

  • Solution-Focused Thinking — focusing more on what’s working and what’s possible, rather than what’s wrong and impossible.

We integrate insights from neuroscience, psychology, social science, wisdom teachings and lived experience to deliver learning that is deep, meaningful, and lasting.

Real People

We are all emotional beings, still learning how to manage the unique challenge of human consciousness — our ability to imagine, reflect, and relate. Our work honours this by focusing on the emotional and relational aspects of learning.

We help people:

  • Build self-awareness and confidence

  • Strengthen emotional literacy

  • Improve communication and collaboration

  • Develop authentic relationships and boundaries

Our courses invite reflection, discussion, and growth — creating spaces where people feel safe to learn, share, and evolve.

Real World

Learning must be useful. We design training that is grounded in the lived realities of our participants — whether they work in frontline services, healthcare, housing, the arts, or corporate settings.

We ensure our learning is:

  • Practical and applicable to your work

  • Responsive to the needs of your team and setting

  • Focused on real challenges and opportunities

When learning is relevant, embodied, and emotionally engaging, it sticks. That’s why everything we offer is shaped to make a genuine difference in the everyday lives of those we work with — and those they support.

In all we do, we aim to:

  • Enhance professional skills

  • Build wellbeing and emotional intelligence

  • Strengthen team connection and culture

  • Support staff to feel confident, valued, and equipped

By fostering resilience, collaboration, and a sense of purpose, we help your teams transform the way they work, creating a lasting positive ripple effect throughout your organisation and the communities you serve.
