Why we built this

Hi, I’m Kieran. I’ve spent more than 15 years teaching psychology and mental health, and this course is here to help you feel more confident supporting someone who’s having a tough time. You’ll learn practical, easy-to-use tools you can put into action straight away. Just simple strategies that make it easier to stay calm, listen well and support someone with care. You don’t need to be a psychologist to make a real difference. You just need the right skills, and that’s exactly what this course is designed to give you.

Dr Ashley Humphrey | Co-Founder

Hi, I’m Ashley — a psychology educator and researcher with a focus on how people think, connect, and find meaning in tough times. My work explores the values, beliefs, and social dynamics that shape wellbeing — especially for young people and those navigating uncertainty. Over the past decade, I’ve published research on identity, mental health, and social connection, and taught psychology at the university level. But I’ve always believed that psychology should be useful — not just academic. At The Wellbeing Project, I help turn big ideas into practical tools. My aim is to make sure the learning feels relevant, clear, and immediately useful — so that what you take from our courses sticks with you long after the page is closed.

In 2018, we were frustrated by professional learning that took time but changed little in practice. With support from Spark Deakin and Deakin University, we created The Wellbeing Project to focus on practical learning that supports people over time.

Before there were whiteboards, there were stories in the stars.

We learn on Wurundjeri Country, named after the Manna Gum, a tree rich in culture, medicine, and meaning. We honour Elders past and present, the original teachers and knowledge holders.
