Space to Breathe Therapy
The Team Working Simulator
Build understanding. Navigate challenges. Create inclusive teams.
Welcome to the team
Step into a fictional workplace and explore eight situations that can challenge communication, relationships and inclusion. Hear how colleagues experience the same event differently, choose responses and consider how small changes could make the team work better.
How your experience works
1. Meet the fictional team and explore their different working styles.
2. Enter a scenario and hear what each colleague is thinking.
3. Make decisions through three conversation stages. See supportive explanations for every response.
4. Reflect, build your own team agreements and save an action plan.
5. Download your work or return later on the same device.
Choose what feels comfortable
There are no timed decisions and no perfect answers. You can skip activities, return to earlier scenarios or stop at any point. The aim is to practise curiosity and thoughtful communication, not to judge your abilities.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real group?
Do I need to disclose my disability?
Will my answers be judged?
Where are my notes kept?
What if I am dealing with bullying or discrimination?
Meet your fictional colleagues
Each person brings strengths, preferences and challenges. These examples are not intended to represent everyone with a particular condition.
Different does not mean less
One person may prefer verbal discussion, another written ideas, another a predictable agenda. Inclusion is about making room for different ways of participating while keeping expectations clear and fair.
