Corporate Speaking and Workplace Wellbeing

Inspiring, practical and empowering talks for organisations that value mental health, resilience and human-centred leadership.

For nearly two decades I have worked at the intersection of mental health, wellbeing, rights-based leadership and community advocacy. I now bring this experience into organisations through engaging, relatable and transformative talks designed to support staff teams, leaders and workplaces to thrive.

My background spans:
✔ 20 years working in disadvantaged communities
✔ Leading a UNICEF Rights Respecting School (Gold Award)
✔ Advocacy and policy influence (BBC, MPs, city-wide campaigns)
✔ Professional mental health support for adults experiencing anxiety, trauma and chronic stress
✔ Safeguarding, trauma-informed practice and system-wide wellbeing leadership

I specialise in turning complex psychological concepts into accessible, practical, human advice — helping people understand their minds, build resilience, reduce stress and cultivate healthier work cultures.

Whether you’re looking for a keynote speaker, a workplace wellbeing session or a bespoke workshop, I offer talks that inform, uplift and empower real change.
