Mental Health Workshops in Uganda
I champion workplace mental health, supporting leaders and their teams through consulting, workshops, training, and presentations. My mission is Mental Health Workshops in Uganda to help organisations in Uganda better understand, manage, and openly address mental health challenges—breaking down stigma and fostering a healthier, more supportive work environment.
HELPING BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS IN UGANDA WORK THROUGH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH CHALLENGES
At Acorn Therapy, we offer Mental Health Workshops in Uganda designed to foster mentally healthy, resilient, and high-performing workplaces. Our workshops raise mental health awareness, reduce stigma, and promote practical, culturally sensitive strategies that support both individuals and teams in today’s demanding work environments.
Led by Denis Victor – BA (Hons), FDA, Cert. in Integrative Counselling and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) – our programs bring a deep understanding of mental health in both Ugandan and international contexts.
Having worked extensively in England and Uganda, I bring over a decade of professional experience supporting people from diverse cultural and organisational backgrounds. I believe that therapy and learning are collaborative journeys, where every participant brings insight, curiosity, and strength. I’m here to learn as much as I am to guide.

Why Mental Health in the Workplace Matters
As the modern work environment continues to evolve through technological and social changes, businesses must prioritise one key question:
“How can we adapt, grow, and thrive—without sacrificing the well-being of our people?”
The answer lies in making mental health a core pillar of business strategy. Studies consistently show that employees with strong mental health and work-life balance are more motivated, loyal, and productive.
