Organisations

I believe a thriving organisation, especially one dedicated to public service or support, is built on the mental resilience of its people. For those working in emotionally demanding roles—like those in councils, charities, and the wider caring and support industry—lasting change doesn’t come from box-ticking. It comes from empowering your essential employees with the cognitive and emotional tools they need to manage their own well-being and stay effective.

I’m not your usual dry consultant. I am a Human Operating System Specialist who works with organisations to build resilient and productive teams through a deep understanding of cognitive science and mental well-being. I believe the most difficult truths are best delivered with a laugh, so I use humour to break down complex topics and make them stick. Forget abstract theories; my approach is all about practical, usable skills delivered in an engaging and accessible way.

I offer a flexible suite of services designed to meet the unique challenges of the support, charity, and public sectors. All my work is delivered with the core belief that the goal is self-management, not dependency.

These dynamic and interactive sessions give your teams and leaders practical skills they can use immediately, delivered with a focus on real-world application in high-pressure environments.

• Combating Emotional Burnout & Moral Injury: Workshops specifically designed for professionals and managers in the most emotionally challenging industries. We explore practical, cognitive strategies to combat emotional exhaustion and deal with the psychological weight of moral injury.
• Mental Agility & Resilience: Practical, evidence-based strategies to manage stress, enhance coping mechanisms, and prevent burnout before it takes hold.
• Neuro-inclusion: Building awareness and practical skills to create a genuinely inclusive environment for all cognitive styles, essential for diverse teams.
• Mental Health for Managers: Training leaders to have empowering, compassionate conversations that support their teams without trying to “fix” them.
• Cognitive Performance: Techniques to enhance focus, improve problem-solving, and boost productivity, even when resources are stretched.

Strategic Well-being Consultancy

For organisations seeking systemic change, I offer strategic consultancy to help you design and implement a robust framework for sustainable mental health that recognises the unique pressures of the sector.

• Well-being Audits: Co-creating a realistic, actionable strategy that aligns with your critical mission and business goals.
• Effective Company Wellbeing Programmes: I help you design and implement strategic programmes that go beyond the usual offerings. My programmes are rooted in cognitive and psychological science, creating a truly impactful and sustainable culture of well-being.
• Culture of Psychological Safety: Working with leadership to embed practices that empower employees to speak up, manage their well-being openly, and feel supported when faced with difficult professional truths.

Confidential Managerial Coaching

Your leaders are key to fostering a culture of empowerment, especially when navigating complex ethical and emotional scenarios. I provide confidential, one-to-one coaching to equip them with the skills to lead effectively and compassionately.

• Developing Resilient Leadership: Equipping managers with personal strategies to manage their own well-being, enabling them to lead by example and sustain their own mental health in demanding roles.
• Enhancing Emotional Intelligence: Improving their ability to navigate conversations that guide team members toward their own solutions, particularly when addressing sensitive issues like compassion fatigue.
• Coaching for Cognitive Performance: Helping leaders unlock their team’s potential by fostering an environment where individuals can optimise their own thinking.

My unique combination of expertise and approach allows me to provide tangible benefits to your organisation:

• Expertise in the Caring Sector: I bring direct, practical experience and specialist knowledge of the specific emotional and cognitive demands faced by staff in councils, charities, and supportive roles.
• Focus on Burnout & Moral Injury: My work goes beyond stress management to directly address the most critical risks to staff retention and performance in high-care environments.
• Realistic, Evidence-Based Solutions: My work is grounded in proven cognitive techniques, ensuring strategies are practical for everyday work life, not just theoretical.
• Humour and Humanity: I believe that tackling serious subjects doesn’t require us to be sombre. My clients often tell me I should be a stand-up comedian, and I use that directness and humour to make even the most complex topics relatable and engaging.

Let’s work together to build a healthier, more resilient, and more productive future for your organisation.
