Building on What Works: A Solution-Focused Psychotherapy Workshop for Ontario’s Hospitality Industry
Providing psychotherapy and mental health workshops for the Hospitality Industry, in person at our office in Burlington and virtually online across Ontario.
Support resilience, leadership, and mental well-being in hospitality teams—without adding more pressure.
The hospitality industry thrives on people, yet constant demands, staffing shortages, high emotional labour, and burnout can take a toll. Building on What Works is a 60–90 minute solution-focused psychotherapy workshop designed specifically for hospitality professionals across Ontario.
This interactive workshop helps individuals and teams identify strengths, reduce stress, and create realistic next steps—all within a supportive, practical, and clinically grounded framework.
Identify Strengths - Reduce Stress - Create Realistic Next Steps
Why Mental Health Support Matters in Hospitality
- Hospitality workers face high stress and fast-paced environments
- They endure emotional labour and customer-facing demands
- Find relief in both physical symptoms and the repetitive what ifs and "should's".
- Hours are irregular and have limited recovery time
- Leadership pressure and management of team conflict
As a registered psychotherapy service in Ontario, we understand the unique challenges of hospitality workplaces. Our approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and solution-focused, ensuring participants feel supported—not pathologized.
This workshop offers practical mental health support that fits seamlessly into hospitality operations.

What Participants Will Experience through this solution-focused workshop
Participants will take part in a supportive, engaging, and solution-focused experience designed to meet the realities of hospitality work. Rather than focusing on problems or deficits, the workshop creates space for individuals and teams to recognize what is already working, build confidence, and identify realistic ways to move forward.
Throughout the session, participants are encouraged to:
- Reflect on recent successes and moments of resilience
- Gain clarity around what reduced stress and improved well-being could look like at work
- Recognize personal and team strengths that often go unnoticed in fast-paced environments
- Develop practical insights that feel achievable within their day-to-day roles
The approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and psychologically safe, allowing participants to engage at their own comfort level. Activities are designed to be relevant to hospitality settings, supporting improved communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving without adding pressure or blame.
By the end of the session, participants typically leave feeling:
- More grounded and hopeful
- More aware of their existing skills and resources
- Clearer about small, manageable steps that support resilience and mental well-being
- Supported by a psychotherapy-informed framework that respects the demands of hospitality work
This experience helps hospitality professionals reconnect with their capacity for growth—without requiring major change, extra time, or unrealistic expectations.
