How I can help
Not sure where to start? That’s completely normal.
Most people get in touch, we have a chat, and it becomes clear pretty quickly.
You don't need to have it all figured out first.
For Organisations
Getting wellbeing right across a whole organisation is not easy. It needs to be real, not something that looks good in a board presentation. Here’s how I help.
Strategic Wellbeing Programme
Sometimes you know something isn’t right. You can feel the pressure building, the culture shifting, or you’ve had a wake-up call you can’t ignore. I work with senior leaders to take an honest look at what’s going on and build a response that truly fits your organisation and your people.
Bespoke Wellbeing Policy
A wellbeing policy only works if people can actually use it. I help organisations develop and embed policies that reflect the way people really work, so that when someone needs support, there’s something meaningful in place.
Wellbeing Ambassadors
Creating internal support is a brilliant idea. Getting it wrong, though, can create more problems than it solves. I help organisations set up ambassador roles that are genuinely useful, with realistic expectations, clear boundaries and the right support behind them, so people aren’t left carrying too much.
Mental Health First Aiders: Ongoing Support
Training your MHFAs is just the beginning. Without proper ongoing support, those roles quietly burn people out. I work with existing MHFA teams to keep the role sustainable and make sure your volunteers feel genuinely looked after, not just left to get on with it.

For Leaders & Managers
Leadership can be a lonely place, especially when you’re trying to hold things together for everyone around you. Whether you want to feel more confident supporting your team, or just need some space to think, this is where we start.
Leadership & Manager Support
Most managers genuinely want to help their people. They just aren’t always sure how, especially when things get difficult. I offer practical, grounded support to help leaders spot the early signs, have the right conversations and manage pressure without making things worse, for them or for anyone else.
One-to-One Coaching
For the people who carry a lot and don’t always have somewhere to put it down. Confidential, practical coaching for leaders and professionals dealing with real pressure, who want to think things through with someone who gets it.
“The mental clarity and focus I now have is incredible. She has managed to awaken things in me I didn’t know existed. No more self-doubt, no more imposter syndrome.”
– Ian Dempsey
For Highways Teams
This industry is great at physical safety. Mental health? That’s still catching up. I work specifically in Highways because I understand the culture, the pressures and why a generic wellbeing workshop simply won’t land on site.
Men’s Mental Health
Stress is everywhere on site. Conversations about it? Not so much. I work with teams in male-dominated, high-pressure environments to help recognise what’s going on for them, in a way that feels relevant to their lives, not like something imported from a corporate HR manual.
Toolbox Talks & Site Briefings
Short, impactful and designed to fit the rhythm of site life. These sessions don’t overload people or feel out of place. They meet people where they are and give them something they can use straight away.
“Get her in there talking to your team. She will get everybody on board. She will make a difference.”

Speaking & Advisory
Whether it’s a packed conference or a quiet advisory conversation, I bring the same thing every time: honesty, warmth and something people remember.
Speaking & Stand-Down Talks
Whether it’s a conference, a leadership event or a stand-down, I give talks that people recognise themselves in. Honest and straight-talking. The kind of session where someone comes and finds you afterwards to say it hit home.
Advisory & Bespoke Support
Sometimes what you need doesn’t fit a standard package. I am happy to work with organisations on something more tailored: whether that’s a specific challenge, a one-off project or an ongoing advisory relationship.
