What is Construct Psychology about?

Construct Psychology partners with organisations providing workshops and consulting services to address and transform challenges like workplace stress, miscommunication, boundary challenges, and workplace culture problems into opportunities for growth. We are committed to help you build stronger teams, healthier environments, and a safer, more inclusive industry.

How are Construct Psychology’s workshops different from general leadership seminars?

We don’t deliver generic content. Every workshop is built for the unique challenges of the manual labour and industrial work environment; including rotating shifts, physical demands, high-risk environments, and diverse crews.

Having hands on worksite experience, our difference lies in working closely with you to educate your staff and create real behaviour change.

How long are your workshops and what is the format?

Our workshops range from 90-minute sessions to multi-day programs. Formats include on-site delivery, toolbox talks, and interactive group training. We work with you to accommodate schedules and minimise disruption to operations.

How much does it cost to work with Construct Psychology?

We can tailor services to your needs, as such different companies will have different requirements, so costs will vary. The programs outlined in the Our Services section of our website vary in price.
